If Pie has given us nothing, Jones has given less than nothing. The "if he can just play up to his norms" is the gamble. Jones sucks, and he's worse now than when he was putting up those careers norms. His mediocre career is winding down. He's in his 30's, it should surprise nobody if he underperforms his norms. And he already is. But is it a bigger gamble than sticking Pie out there everyday and hoping he can give us anything? I just think Pie is the bigger question mark. I don't believe that in one year Jones has gone from outplaying his career averages to completely done and washed up. It doesn't add up. Pie and Jones have extremely similar offensive numbers, but Felix gets the nod for his dominance in the field. Sure, Jones's numbers will likely improve over the course of the season, but to me that improvement isn't enough to offset the improvement that Pie will also show.
