Adam Jones

Anybody else think he was just a 1 hit wonder?

Did you hear he was detained within the last couple of weeks in canada for a couple of hours.  Authorities thought he looked like someone else....

I think Markakis is the real deal...but certainly not sold on Jones. 1 good season doesn't make a player. His defense hasn't been nearly what it was last season.

As of now...I take back what I said to jpero. He rubbed it in my face all offseason that Jones was an All-Star. Well...looks like the bragging rights have currently shifted.

2 solid innings. Got into a little trouble in the 3rd but has six 0-2 counts this game as he just got Markakis to pop out for the final out. 4 Ks. Looking good overall.

Excuse #1...

Must be his reason for struggling.

And Matusz

He pitches well against the Yanks...but beating 1 good team kinda doesn't help you get to the playoffs.

they are killing my fantasy team yet im still in 2nd place some how

If you think about it...Upton isn't all that proven too. Tex is the only proven guy of the 3. Upton batted .221 in his rookie season. Only .250 in his next season. And then his first full season, last year, he was an All-Star but didn't exactly put up eye popping numbers.

I'm just saying. These guys still have pleanty of time to be great...but they really aren't showing it.

I agree it's hurting their offense with the runs scored...but him being in the lineup doesn't make Adam Jones any better if he's just hitting .252. It may just give him more RBIs.
