whow whoa top 5 ever?????? give me a break!!!!!! lazy fat steroid using overrated defense.had a 50 homer year and couldnt even brak 110 rbis.... thats a joke!
Wow you're a moron.Being fat doesn't have nothing to do with it .You see Prince fielder slumping idiot?Andruw was 1 of the best hitters on the Braves but went to shit .Idk why .But why the hell would you say he's on steroids ? You don't have no room to talk dumb shit when Manny Roidmirez used steroids.And how many gold gloves has Ramirez won ? The Clown in the outfield Award ?
Andruw Jones gained weight because he was unable to put stress on his knee. He never wanted to play for the LA Dodgers. He wanted to remain an Atlanta Brave. Thank God the Dodgers released him. Now he can re-sign with the Braves.
You know you can lose weight without putting much stress on your knees, its all about what you eat. And if his knees where that bad someone should have noticed it or he shouldn't have signed that contract, but for 16 million I guess how could you say no..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Andrew Jones is family of mine :) look it up hes from curacou and im also from there but my last name isint jones but my cousin her last name is jones and his dad's cousin is Andrew Jones
It's too bad what he has become. However, in his prime, he was something else to see. He's, without question, one of the Top 5 best CFs of all-time, though. Period.
@DerrickthePinecone wtf come on man....mays, mantle, dimaggio, ty cobb, ken griffey jr, obviously i could name another 20 better than him like tris speaker but i think iv proved my point.
im tired of people saying his weight is the reason he is in a slump. weight has nothing to to with it look at mo vaughn. watch next year jones will be back to being a hr hitter
Heres what needs to b done, Andruw needs to b benched the entire rest of the 2008 season. He needs to stop with his frigin uppercut swing cause its now helping. He needs to take the most time possible in the batting cages and come back in 2009 with a fresh start and a cleared mind. Manny need to take over the rest of the season and maybe even help andruw out a little
To round up this debate, the point is, it really is disappointing when you sign a vetern that has been one of the best of his time and spend big money and all you get is a mere .220 and hardly any power... Andruw Jones either needs to make an early retirement(Well I hope not) or get it together because he needs to earn his money and if he doesn't he's gonna get cut.
Agree with Lady Lexi. I'm just happy that the Braves got the best of Andruw Jones. And when it was good, it was REAL good. He's one of the main reasons I becasme a HUGE Braves fan! Pure excitement in center field! Luv you and miss you Andruw!
I agree that Jones has had a nice career, 10 gold gloves, power hitter, and a nice personality to have in the clubhouse. BUT there's one thing you forgot about, age. He's nearing the end of his career and he's not going to help my dodgers out one bit. I'd rather see Juan Pierre back in center and keep Kemp and Ethier in the lineup. I mean jones has been striking out on pitches off the plate, I even saw him strikeout on a wild pitch this year on 2 different occasions.. Send jones to AAA...
Age? The guy just hit the thirty mark. All he needs to do is adjust his eating habits and re-invent his body a bit. Get with a good trainer, study the video tape of his swing during his best years in Atlanta. He's not hitting forty, sheesh.
id like to see all of you try and hit a 95mph fastball evryday with 50000 screaming fans watching Andruw Jones is better then any of you will ever be and is the best center feilder ever
he sure is a hell of a lot better than any of us, but he also works maybe 3/4 of the year and gets paid about 20 times more than the average person....
I'm just saying, that he is getting paid way to much for the shit service he is giving
Also, If I had to take a guess, I'd say you are an angry dodgers fan. man, I cracked up so hard when I found out that the dodgers offered andruw $15 mil/year for 2 years ahahaha. I saw this coming a mile away being a braves fan (he falls over everytime time he trys to hit a home run...or hit at all)
He made me so mad in Atlanta with all those damn K's, and then he'd walk away with a silly smirk on his face...Forget he's defense, HE GETS THE BIG BUCKS FOR DRIVING IN RUNS!!!!!, and he damn sure wasn't doing much of that in his last year as a Brave, and he damn sure isn't doing it now.
WINJ- do you fucking research prick. According to Stats, INC he was the 4th WORST last year in range in CF. Dont even tell me he can hang with CF Greats like Tris Speaker, Joe Dimaggio, or even modern day players like Torii Hunter, Grady Sizemore or Ichiro Suzuki.. Andruw had his time, and its over. He was in CF for about 3 years too long anyway. In his prime he was a great CF, but that time is gone.. Deal with it!
Once again you overwhelming knowledge of baseball shows... Range factor is significantly affected when you are int eh outfield with other outfielders with good range (i.e. Jeff Francoeur Gold Glove winner) (also Matt Diaz trying to keep his reputation alive as a hustle player)This is why range factor is not a concrete statistic and thus not *official*. You need to better research and watch some games before you try and pull this stuff man.
You are flawed again... I guess we should just say that Scot Hairston has the best range then because San Diego has the largest outfield to patrol? NO.. You are obviously a Braves homer that is sensitive that your Boy ScamDruw went on to another team because the Braves are going to continue to pay him for a guy that has lost more than a step in the field and hits .220...
No I'm right. I play centerfield for my college team. You are arguing with someone who deals with these stats everyday. You still haven't given a counterpoint. Hairston's corner outfielders have a lot of range too and can cover some of his ground. Giles is a fast guy. Come on man you are never going to win this. You are dealing with someone who does this basically for a a living.
Brian Giles does not have much range. Who are you trying to kid. Just because you play CF doesn't necessarily mean you are correct. Andruw Jones is on the decline, you just have to admit it.
You dumb piece of shit. Do you even watch baseball? Over 10 straigh Gold Gloves and approaching 400 home runs speaks for itself. He is one of the best centerfielder of alltime and thee are stats to prove it. Before you make stupid ass comments like that... do your resaerch dumbass. You are officially the most ignorant baseball fan ever. Please never speak on the subject again.
He will break out of it. i can look and tell myself what he's doing wrong in his swing. As soon as he stops trying to pull everything out of the park then he will be back to the Andruw we all know. He defense is still the best in the league and his bat will come around. Strikeouts are just a part of his game. It's one negative for all the positive he brings to a team. Just for your information... 10 straight Gold Gloves is a record for a centerfielder and he's on pace to break the alltime record
love the dodgers love andruw hate manny
