Andruw Jones In CF?
 

MLBTradeRumors.com and espn.com are reporting that the dodgers would listen to offers for Andruw Joners and Jaun Pierre.

If I'm the reds I think I would see if the dodgers would pay a portion of the 2 year/36 million dollar contract he got at the beginning of the season and deal them David Weathers or Jeremy Affeldt and a mid level prospect.

Granted Jones hasn't had the numbers he once had.. But he's got power, one of baseballs best defeners, and I think if LA ate some money it would be a good gamble.

I've seen him hit on my MLB package quite a bit. He's beyond done. He couldn't hit AA pitching right now.

Re: Andruw Jones In CF?
 

Jones has an OPS+ of 32. Stay far away from that one.

Re: Andruw Jones In CF?
 

we've already got a part time center fielder (patterson) that can't hit and at a much cheaper price. no thanks.

How can you fall off a cliff like that? I would explore and (hopefully rule out) the possibility of a serious illness.

I wonder if Cesar Cedeno is still available?

Re: Andruw Jones In CF?
 

Dodgers would have to pay about 28 million of the 22 million he is owed before I'd be interested.

If not, I hear Mike Vail and Larry Biittner are available through free-agency.

Next year, having a RHH CF would be nice. But the Dodgers would have to pick up almost all of the $18 million for 2009 and not want much in return. No question the Dodgers have a glut of outfielders now with Manny, Kemp, Ethier, Pierre and Jones. They are probably desperate to get rid of Jones and I think the Reds should at least inquire.

And I know he's all but done. But maybe there is a good year left in him -- he's not that old.

Re: Andruw Jones In CF?
 

He's about done, a reclamation project should not cost 18million.

Re: Andruw Jones In CF?
 

I'd rather have Pierre (especially if you could get the Dodgers to eat some of his salary). He's not great or anything, but he's better than the current options.

Re: Andruw Jones In CF?
 

No thanks. Andruw looks done.

Re: Andruw Jones In CF?
 

Imagine Brandon Phillips' inability to hit low and outside breaking stuff -- except everywhere. That's Jones these days.

Andrew Jones is the player that people think Dunn is.
