first baseman to boot. If Andruw Jones can knock out of his season-long slump (which he seems to maybe be doing) the Braves have a shot at taking over the Mets in the NL East or at worst picking up the Wild Card.

Published: August 12, 2007, 12:04 pm

Tags: Adam Dunn, Andruw Jones, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Kosuke Fukudome, New York Yankees

look at some highlights. Andruw Jones has an awful .216/.312/.418 line this year. He's been outdone by Shawn Green, Sammy Sosa, Jose Vidro, and Shannon Stewart in terms of OPS. Nonetheless, Jones isn't expected to come at a discount. Scott Boras will just play up the defense, the RBIs, the career totals, whatever.

the idea of the Nats signing Andruw Jones, it was April and he seemed in line for a six or seven year contract. The idea of bringing in Andruw was to create some goodwill with the fans through some rebuilding years, a la the Gil Meche signing in Kansas City. The consensus of the commenters at MLBTR was that this was a bad idea.

a thorough dissection of the Andruw Jones situation. The Braves have yet to speak to Jones, and their intentions for the center field spot in '08 are anybody's guess. If the Braves want to go short-term, it appears Andruw would consider a one-year offer. Scott Boras scoffed at the idea a few months ago but Jones had a subpar second

to be a big year for Andruw Jones. After all, athletes have a sporadic habit of performing particularly well when they're due for a new contract, and Jones -- who has been a very productive player thus far in his career -- seemed primed to cash in on his success.

Journal-Constitution, Andruw Jones has priced himself out of the Braves' range and will not be returning next year. O'Brien says Scott Boras' starting point was seven years and nearly $20MM annually. So basically no discount at all despite Jones' terrible season. Boras would be a true magician to pull that off. All of

the Braves were going to let Andruw Jones walk as a free agent would make Scott Boras a happy man. After all, he's now got a chance at duping some other team into overpaying for a client coming off of his worst season as a major leaguer. But Boras being Boras he can't just move on without slamming John Schuerholz one last time."Andruw Jones was

early interested parties in Andruw Jones: the Dodgers, Rangers, Giants, White Sox, Nationals, Phillies, and Mets. Seems like the idea of moving Beltran to right field has been discussed within the Mets organization. The Dodgers, I imagine, would shift Juan Pierre to left field.
