Andruw Jones Progression

[DGetz]

I'm at the trading dealine in my first season and I dealt for Andruw Jones (more for his defense than his bat). I got curious so I went to the edit player screen and saw that his career potential is five stars. But seeing as he is already 28 and his batting ratings are all around 70 I'm sort of wondering if he really has time to develop into anything close to a five-star player before he starts to decline. So I'm curious as to how he has developed in other people's dynasties 1,2,3,5,10 (however many) years down the road

Thanks.

First things first: Thanks a lot I really appreciate you taking the time to post this

But who, that is definetly a massive improvement! If he boosts up like that for me I might have to consider keeping him around, even at 12.5 mil a year rather than going with my original plan which was, naturally, to deal him to the Yanks.

he increased big time for me too after the first year. Highest rated player on the Braves.

Andruw just turned 27. There is a ton of statistical evidence showing that batters hit their prime when they are 27. Its quite uncanny.
