    Game 8/1: Andruw Jones still in the ******* lineup

    And of course, Randy Johnson decides to revert to his Cy Young form in his second stint with the Dbags after two mediocre years in New York. Asshole.

    His last two outings, yeah, otherwise he's been pretty average this season.

    He actually had a really dominant May, the month to follow however really brought down his statistics. He had a crazy K-BB in May, something like 35 to 5.

    I heard one rumor saying that Andruw could be placed on waivers....anyone else either heard this or buy it? I'm not sure I see it happening....

    Looking down Jones' career statistics is just unreal.

    For a guy who seems to be playing more like he is 41 than 31, it's amazing to think what teams might have been willing to give for a glove and a 50 homerun bat like Jones. Dodgers fans, other fans feel for you (outside of the NL West of course.)

    That's like listing your pancreatic cancer on ebay. Sure you could do it, but nobody is seriously going to want it, transferring it would be next to impossible logistically and if you did get any bids on it.... they would likely come from someone giggling on the other side.

    Well, I mean....it wouldn't be easy. I agree that he isn't on many teams' most desired list....but if the Dodgers would put up maybe 5 million per year for the rest of the contract, I can see someone taking a big risk. Personally, I might even take a chance on him....if he's willing to be a corner outfielder(for my Mets), and is willing to accept that poor performance will net him less playing time, I'd give him a shot, as long as the Dodgers don't ask for too much back to make the risk too great...

    It's bullshit. McCourt is a businessman. He'd rather pay Andruw the $36 million to mow the McCourt mansion's lawns than allowing Andruw to walk out the door with the same money for doing nothing. I say it's a miracle if the Dodgers aren't forced to pay 90% of the contract in a trade.

    Now you know how I feel with Vizquel. Sure Jones makes a shit load more than Omar but both should not be playing.

    Idk, I feel like SOMEONE would be interested if you'd pay half his contract. The Mets need a corner outfielder, and if you pay half his contract, and take back someone like....idk, Marlon Anderson and a low level prospect, I think that'd be do-able.

    Jones contributes nothing and makes no team better. Even if you paid half the contract, I don't see any team interested.
