Regarding Jones, I was just never too impressed by the lines he put up at XST this year. He's 22 years old at this point and it would have been really helpful if he was producing at A+ ball this year.
Which brings me to my next point, he's not even being blocked by Rebel, he's hurdled Rebel [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img] There's hope for Jones, but I haven't been dazzled by what he's done in pro ball so far (and I'm probably short changing him given he hasn't finished his first full year). I have to admit though, hitting 6 triples in 159 ABs in rookie ball is pretty impressive, especially for a guy his size.
