Why oh why would they want Jaque Jones?

Sheffield possibly being outed for steroids soon and incurring an early-season supsension!?

 

that's about as speculative as I've ever been. otherwise i dont really get this one.

After letting Monroe go...it's possible the Tigers noticed that Marcus Thames put up a .705 OPS against righties last year and a .744 OPS after the break, while Jones put up a .832 OPS after the break (although, despite being a lefty, his splits don't show a big righty/lefty swing).

The same can be said about Jones...ugh.

Since 2005, Jones has, in 61 at bats, put up 5 home runs and a 1.005 OPS against the White Sox.

 

In that time, Jones has hit 5 home runs against 2 other team; the St. Louis Cardinals and the Reds. In 120 and 109 at bats, respectively. He has not hit more than 4 against any other team in that stretch.

 

He has a higher OPS against us than against anyone else he's seen more than 25 times.

 

Infante has hit .295 against us in the last 3 years, in 96 at bats, but has only posted an .800 OPS. He has hit 4 home runs against the Sox in that time, and has not hit more than 2 against any other team.

 

Ugh, can these guys like collide on their way to each other's parks & both wind up on the DL?

See, the problem is...against a lefty, they can just sit Jones and put in Rayburn or Thames, and Thames at least has a .826 OPS against MB.

 

Oh I know they can bench him (hell the Twins did it when he was there) I was just making light of the situation. :D
