Give Me a Rightfielder… Please

Let me join my Minnesotan brethen and say… Jacque Jones has got to go. He’s been doubled up twice for misjudging a fly ball. Twice. I can understand once, just got a bad read… or temporarily went brain dead or something like that. But, twice in one week. Are you kidding me? If this guy hit 40+ homers or got 200+ hits, I’d deal with it. He’s never had more than 173 hits or hit more than 27 homers. With those numbers you’d damn well better learn how to run the bases and play defense. For all of the quality moves Jim Hendry has made… Jeromy Burnitz and Jacque Jones stain Hendry’s record… big time. I’d much rather see John Mabry in RF everyday. It seems like he actually attempts to put the bat on the ball.

    Hahahaha. As a lifetime Twin’s fan it is nice to see another team get stuck with Jones. He alone has the ability to swing for the fences every time and still only get 20 or so homers a year. Also, his weak arm and slow legs make him a liability in the field…hahaha good work Cubs picking him up. I still can’t believe he got a 3 year deal there.
    I bet the Cubbies wouldn’t mind Marty Cordova coming out of retirement to play RF.
