The "deal" with Andruw Jones-would you take him?

Re: The "deal" with Andruw Jones-would you take him?

He can be an all-star again, but he will not chose too. Andruw knows what to do, the coaches have told him what to do, and I can even call where the pitch will be thrown without seeing him play much in 2 years. If he will stop trying to pull the ball, he can be good again. He tries to pull every pitch.

It would be ok with me if the Braves signed him with some exceptions. I would fine him $100 for every ball that he tried to pull unless it was a hit. I would fine him $1,000 for every double play he grounds into (he has become a DP machine and when he was last with the Braves, I wanted to just give an out and not have him hit with someone on 1st). I would fine him $1,000 for every strikeout. That should get the Braves good value or cost them nothing with all the money he would give back if he sucked.

Nope. Next question.

Re: The "deal" with Andruw Jones-would you take him?

That still wouldn't scare me away from a Minor League deal. What have you got to lose if you're an MLB team? Chump change...that's it. Its an extremely low risk signing.

But Andruw doesn't understand that. He thinks he is too good for that. He doesn't understand that when a team pays you 21 mil to leave you suck.

Hes got enough in the tank , but his mind and ego is holding him back .
Would only offer him minor contract
Its amazing how when guys leave ATL they suc , mostly Pitchers under Leo would come in broken he would fix , they would leave do to big $$$ offers then be injured or suc . Only Hampton really stunk

I'd rather the Braves take a chance on Sammy Sosa than Andruw Jones.

Re: The "deal" with Andruw Jones-would you take him?

Speaking of which, why did no one sign Sosa after he had that comeback year in Texas?

They could get those numbers anywhere plus his D and speed were bad .
And the steroid thing doesnt help same with Bonds as he could still hit last year

That made my entire week, don't let fatty fool you guys. Dude isn't going to be close to an all star anymore, his best days are past him imho.

That was essentially my take last year when the Dodgers picked him up. Now that's it over in LA, I don't know if I want to take my avatar down...

How many 5 strikeout games did Andruw have last year? I remember he had one in 2007 against the Red Sox.

I just don't see how it's even possible to strikeout 5 times in 1 game.

After seeing Andruw working out with Chipper and McCann, that's the thinnest I've seen him in 5 years. I want him back in Atlanta for a low $ amount.

Andruw did look in great shape in the short workout video that was on sport channels as Sportsforever commented above. LA will still be paying the big bucks over a deferred time frame. If you can pick him up cheap, and he wants to reinvent himself, it could be a beneficial move.

Like Chipper Jones said it doesn't matter what shape he's in if he continues to try to pull everything.

That is true AUTiger.

I think the Andruw syndrome (pull anything thrown w/in 5 miles) is happening to Francouer as well...It's sad
