Yes, a nice signing if your sights are on creating a .500 ballclub. World Series champs aim a tad bit higher. If we had a thumper in left and a better run producer in CF, Jones would be perfectly adequate in RF. Too bad we don't. Having said that, there wasn't much else available this past offseason (which wouldn't have been an issue had Hendry signed someone last offseason). Yes, yes. There's never anyone available. That's why we suck. ..........I'm goading you because I know you know better..... Hey, I am blaming Hendry for this mess. But who else was available this last offseason (and I don't want to hear Giles)? Hendry messed up this year's OF last offseason. He messed up alot of things, including the decent minor league situation we used to have. Jones didn't really hit well until May. Once he started the rest of the team quit. Pierre has been the lineups biggest problem.
