Given Andruw Jones has filed for free agency, and the Rangers have said he's not coming back, I can officially categorize this news story as "Former Rangers News". Anyway, I decided to check into his money situation, given he had a quite strange salary situation in 2009. As you might recall.. His total base salary in 2009 was $15 million dollars. $500,000 of that was paid by the Rangers, so he made out like quite the bandit from the McCourt's out in LA. That's just the ...

I'll take Catalanotto over Anderson....

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 21:02:17 -0500

Despite hitting .317 this spring and being able to play almost every position, the Rangers are reported to have released Frank Catalanotto to make room for outfielder Andruw Jones. The Mets have been rumored to be interested in the super sub for quite sometime. While he's another left handed hitter he's a much better option then Marlon Anderson. The 34 y/o has spent most of the last few years playing 1B and the corner outfield but does have major league experience at 3B, 2B and SS. He...

Andruw Jones' Career at an End?

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 08:06:01 -0500

Is Andruw Jones out of time - and out of options? The former All-Star centerfielder, who at one point in his distinguished career with the Atlanta Braves was considered by some a future Hall of Famer, has floundered badly the past several seasons. The numbers he put on the board were among the worst in the majors.But the Texas Rangers invited him to Spring Training on a minor-league camp. Jones' contract gave the Rangers until March 20 to either put him on the 40-man roster or release him...

I will comfortably say that Andruw Jones? legacy is forever tarnished, especially in the case of LA fans. He will never be able to get past what he did (or didn?t do) last season. After signing a two-year deal for around $36 million, he showed up to camp in horrible shape, easily 250-plus [...]

A Tribute To Andruw Jones

Sat, 17 Jan 2009 18:34:48 -0500

He truly was one of a kind. After all, who else on the Dodgers was affected by the laws of gravity like him? Nobody. Only he could dive after a line drive at full speed, come to an immediate bouncing stop, and then resemble a dead beached whale afterwards. He will be missed.

Jones getting close to a Dodgers deal?

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 05:59:25 -0500

Apparently, the Andruw Jones to the Dodgers idea has been warming recently though nothing is expected by the end of the Winter Meetings. As late as yesterday, Colletti has said that the asking price for the top tier center fielders Jones and Rowand are too high yet there apparently has been a change of heart. Whether that's because of the Dodgers warming up to the idea of giving Jones 3 years or simply because Jones finally realizing he is not going to get what he is demanding, I don'...
