Is Andruw Jones DONE??

Question

What happened to this guy? He was incredible past two years .......

Answer 1

I had him on my fantasy team last year and he was a total bust.  It was his contract year as well, so it made sense that he'll have a breakout year, but nope, total was of a draft pick.  Changing to Dodger blue hasn't helped much as he looks like a shell of himself.  Almost makes you believe he was on the Juice before and now is off and thus the crappy numbers.

Interestingly enough, it sounds like Jones being such a disappointment led to the Dodgers making the trade for Manny.

Answer 2

He was the best player in 2006 and after that he lost it. Andrew probably misses Alanta but that's a part in life for baseball players.

Answer 3

He got injured and now he can't get back to his 50 homerun form and it doesn't look like he'll get back there unless something dramatically changes.

Answer 4

He's D.O.N, Done. He Had His Better Days With The Braves When He Had Chipper At His Side. Now He Has 2 Deal With Manny Ramirez. He Also Has 2 Deal With Joe Torre That Is Racist. What A *****?

Answer 5

He just lost it ,Strange how that can happen.

Answer 6

He's probably finished in terms of being a competent player. But the Dodgers still owe him $15M for 2009, so he'll be around for awhile.

BTW, he definitely wasn't incredible in 2007. He hit 26 HR, but he batted .222 with a .724 OPS. He was mediocre last year, and the Dodgers were extremely foolish to pay him so much money.

Answer 7

Man he was looking hall of fame material on the braves, good hitting stats, amazing fielding... It's like he fell off a cliff and burst into flames.

Answer 8

Well,

Andruw was amazing with the braves.

But ever since he's been with the dodgers,

he's flat out sucked!  

I used to think he was just in a little slump.  But pitchers have a better average than him.  Although he's not a useful hitter, atleast the Dodgers have his outfielding ability.  He's made some very fine plays out in center.

I dont think he's DONE, but he definetly needs a lot of work.

Considering the Dodgers have Manny Ramirez, Juan Pierre, Matt Kemp, and Andre Eithier, I would sit Andruw Jones out for a little bit and make him work extra hard.

I wish him and the Dodgers the best of luck.

Answer 9

His career isn't necessarily over, but his prime certainly is.  His best days are long gone.
