Could the Atlanta Braves be looking at Andruw Jones

Published by richd under Sports Edit This

Andruw Jones is a man without a team. After completing his seperation with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Andruw Jones does not have a team. As we know he can field the ball with the best of them in center field, the question remains, can he hit. If he returned to the power numbers of years gone by, he would be the perfect fit for the clean up spot. However, that is a long row to hoe.

Though I think that idea of bringing Jones to Spring Training would be a good one for the Braves, I am not sure that it is the option that I would select. The biggest reason lies in right field. If Jeff Francoeur is going to remain the Braves right fielder, and all indications say that he will, then you can not carry two liabilities at this time. However, if either of them show a good spring, then it is possible that you can keep both and make a trade down the road.

Personally, I think they both suffer from the same problem. That problem is free swinging. Until they learn where the strike zone is, the pitchers are going to continue to throw them crap and they will continue to swing at crap.
