Rotoworld:

 

The Tigers have reportedly designated outfielder Jacque Jones for assignment and replaced him with Matt Joyce.

That's one way to shake things up, though it hardly seems like the best way. Jones turned in an awful start last year, but he was one of the Cubs' best players after the break. Joyce will battle Marcus Thames and Ryan Raburn for at-bats while the Tigers look for someone better to take over in left field. Jones could find work quickly. The Padres figure to have to some interest, and the Marlins, who wanted him as their center fielder last summer, still have a hole there.

I attempted to merge the two threads, and I seem to have lost a post or two. Oops.

 

My thread remains intact. That's all that matters.

Found them. For some reason I'd merged them into the payroll thread...lol

He should have kept mine...may have been a minute later, but at least it had a link.

 

Oh - and OMC started one in the non-Cubs forum. We love us some JJ round here.

You snooze, you lose. Breaking news doesn't have time for a link.

Post first. Link later. :)

 

GR's post is still up there now anyway that I've mastered the art of the merge.

The good news is that Jacque seems to have hated his time with the Cubs. Even if we were interested (which I'm sure we will be), I doubt that it'll be mutual.

Curious why folks think Hendry would want Jones back, after the yearlong headache Jim had trying to unload the guy.

 

Jones seems like a guy that has achieved ex-Cub for life status, along with guys like Hawkins, Patterson, Walker, Ohman, Barrett, etc.
