Posted November 25, 200915 yr The White Sox have signed outfielder Andruw Jones to a one year contract worth $500K, according to ESPN Chicago's Bruce Levine. Jones could earn another $1MM in performance based incentives, and Levine mentions that the ChiSox are not looking at him as a starting outfielder, instead they were looking to solidify their bench. The 32-year-old Jones hit .214/.323/.459 in 331 plate appearances for Texas last year, spending most of his time at DH. He also appeared in eight games at first base, plus 17 in the two corner outfield spots. FanGraphs values his 2009 peformance at $3.6MM, so this appears to be a nice little pickup considering the low base salary. Yesterday we heard that Chicago was interested in Coco Crisp, though the Jones signing might quell that interest. www.mlbtraderumors.com wow for that kinda of money i wouldnt mind the Marlins playing him in LF
November 26, 200915 yr Damn did Andruw take the Dodgers to the cleaners. He did absolutely nothing nothing for them at all. Worthless totally worthless
November 26, 200915 yr psh guy hit .214 and he's not andruw jones anymore, he doesnt deserve the big bucks. But hey lets see if he can have a nice season in Chicago. I for one am kinda happy the fish didnt go for him.
