TFoA Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Andruw Jones is a Dodger for 2 years, $36 millionhttp://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...7&fext=.jspWhile I'm happy that we have him now, I'm not so stoked about having TWO overpaid center fielders. But at least Andruw has defense and power, and he isn't exactly a snail.Be ready for a K every other at bat for this guy...He either swings for the fences or misses spectacularly. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that.We pretty much already had that with Juan Pierre.... either a strikeout or a harmless groundout. I welcome the change in CF. An OF of Matt Kemp, Andruw Jones and Andre Ethier? Not the '27 Yankees, but not exactly chopped liver either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Wow. So the Dodgers just keep adding to the arsenal of talent they've been picking up the past few seasons, and the biggest move the Giants are rumored to make is their top pitcher for a mid level outfielder. Oh great. I see yet another long and miserable season for bay area baseball fans. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Oh great. I see yet another long and miserable season for bay area baseball fans.You call Andruw Jones a positive addition to that arsenal of talent? FYI -- The best move the Giants have made this year thus far was not re-signing Bonds. At least the organization can move on to a new era now.

The only real positive last year about Andruw was the fact that he was still a defensive god in CF. Offensively, he had a horrible year, adjusting his swing about 50,000,000 times and none yielding much success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 $18 Million per year for a guy who batted .222 with 20 HR's last season.Are the Dodgers ing insane?!It's actually worth the risk.It's only a 2-year deal, so they aren't burdening themselves. They get a guy who's probably been the best defensive CF for the past 10 years and has produced a slew of 30-HR, 100-RBI seasons in his career.

Lincecum is a stud.I wouldn't fire the guy, but I agree with your general feeling on the trade. While Rios will absolutely be a premiere outfielder, you can't beat good pitching. Lincecum has the chance to establish a really nice one-two punch out in San Fran along with Matt Cain (I'm throwing Zito out the window since I have no faith in him anymore).

Both dont have brilliant numbers as of yet, but thats mainly because they have played on some absolutely horrible teams. And with the Andruw Jones trade, he may not have been the best candidate out there in CF, but at least the Dodgers are doing SOMETHING. It's really more than I can say for San Francisco.

See Red Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Lincecum is going to be a good one. His control would worry me a bit. He's had high BB/9 rates at every level he's pitched at. And going to the AL East, the Yankees and Red Sox would eat him alive if he can't locate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giambi's been an OBP machine his entire career. In fact, he had more walks in each of his last two years in Oakland than he did in any one season in New York.
