Thoughts on the Jones Deal
6-4-2 Takes the negative view of the deal, while Dodgers Thoughts is more positive. Of course, once Jon got some sleep, he changed his tune a bit.
Colletti and Torre are going to decide if this is a good deal or not. If they have the stones to put Pierre on the bench, good to great deal; if not, mediocre to bad deal.
The Dodgers may have signed a great deal-IF Andruw comes back to his capabilities. However, the Dodgers are likely to discover that Andruw is not amenable to coaching and does not adjust well-seemingly to the point of pig headedness at times. He's great in center and definitely has power. Just hope he doesn't break his back ankle on his massive overswings.
If Hunter got 5 for 90, I don't see why everybody is so shocked that Andruw got 2 for 36.
