Seems like a great low risk, potentially high reward, signing for the back of the pen.

Good move. If he can stay healthy, its an impact move.
He probably won't stay healthy.
Keep looking for an upgrade.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Bauer claims to be immune to injury due to flawless mechanics. Maybe Boddy can fix Jones?
Jones is as good as they come when he's on the mound.
He's rarely on the mound.
This is where, IMO, Boddy and Cotham might prove their worth-- smoothing the mechanics, fixing the elbow torque.
If Jones can pitch more than 30 innings, he'll be a phenomenal pick-up. If he only pitches 20, he's still decent depth for a time.

6.4 WAR in 290 Innings over his career....great if he can stay healthy.
This is the potential low cost diamond in the rough I talked about before. You don’t have to spend a ton of money to fix your pen, you just have to have a shrewd front office. Health obviously is a risk with this guy, but the reward could be huge.
