Andruw Jones to sign with the Rangers

[love_that_reefer]

Another team Jones will not be playing for next season. Rangers have much better players as is and Borbon is climbing through the minors.

Yeah, I am sure that was the reason he went to Texas, the hitting coach. While Jaramillo is indeed a great hitting coach and no doubt part of the reason why Jones might choose Texas, we all know it is the ballpark. This was a huge power hitter and we all know that is why Boras and him chose a park that lets them fly out with ease. I agree with reef though, moving up and through that depth chart will be hard and probably unlikely unless he has done dramatic work to get back into shape.

Even if he made the team, he'd stroke out from the heat in July.

He could probably be a decent bench player if he finds himself.

Andruw Jones hit his first spring homer Monday off the Dodgers' Claudio Vargas. Jones is 6-for-16 with three strikeouts in March after going 1-for-9 with eight strikeouts in February. He's still a ways off from making the Rangers, but things are beginning to look up.

Still won't make the team but could impress someone else.

Peter Abraham said he talked to 3 different scouts today who all said he's done. He has no bat speed left according to them

Schmidt should've just blown out his shoulder again by beaning Andruw Jones in the face with an 80 mph fastball. That way you have two assholes having their season ended before it even begins.

I saw most of the game today on the MLB Network and Jones looks better than he has in about 4 years. His swing is back and he seems to be running well. Could be a very good addition to this team.

I can't believe they are eating Catalanotto's salary to release him and make room for Jones. This is a poorly run franchise!

[love_that_reefer]

Jones had three hits in his Ranger debut.

jones actually looks like a major leaguer again.

According to baseball tonight, the Texas hitting coach told Andruw he was leaving way too much weight on his back foot and swinging with his arms. Interesting
