Reports are that Andruw Jones has agreed to a 2-year deal to play centerfield for the Los Angeles Dodgers. LINK THIS. Dodger fandom won't let me say anything other than this is a great signing. One year does not a career make, and for some reason he was crap in 2007. Normally, bats come to Dodger Stadium to die, career 300 hitters sign and next thing you know-they slump themselves right out of baseball. Something tells me that Jones, one of the best young players in the history of the game, is aiming to put up monster numbers for 2 years in search of a 5 or 6 year mega-contract. Next step? Two moves would make the Dodgers favorites to win the NL. First, trade for Scott Rolen. His value is low, and I suspect he can be had for two top-tier minor leaguers. As always, you try to throw Juan Pierre in on any deal you make. His signing was a disaster, and you have to get rid of him somehow. Next, you sign that Japanee pitcher everybody is after. Give Kuroda 10 mill a year and see if he can get you 10-12 wins as your fifth starter. See! Its so simple!

maybe they should stop picking up people on the downslide... jones is going to be a so-so pickup. He probably already thinking retirement.
he is 30 years old.
He isnt gonzo old... but all the same, dont you see him on the downslide.
I am sorry.. Its the blue-colored glasses. 1 season away from a 40 and 50 home run season. You don't lose that kind of skill in 8 months
actually i am just hatin', i decided that this next year I am going to focus my hate on the rockies and hope we run the score up on them, while the dodgers I will remain relatively ambivalent...
so to jones joining the dodgers... i say "eh..."
You will never be a true surfer...
