will he be the next fat chick on jenny craig commercials?

The source of this tells tht its complete BS.Ask Roger Clemens and Andy Pettite

Man, this thread will be like shooting fish in a barrel. $18 mil for three home runs and 14 runs batted in in 75 games. Ya think?

That Colletti's a real quote machine.

What a suprise. The Dodgers got a raw deal in this one. Good for the Braves knowing he's done.

Correct Sir!!

they're upset b/c little Andruw isn't playing up to his "potential" (note quotes)? Imagine that! I thought the Braves were nuts to let him walk...shows how much I know. His head was so in the clouds of free agency and visions of millions of dollars were dancing their collective way thru his mind that he was a frickin' unproductive robot last season. He didn't care about the team; only about his stats (abysmal) and his impending free agency. The Dodgers have come up 0-for-2 in recycling Braves--Furcal hasn't exactly lit things up, either. Atlanta's much better off without them and the LA Smog now has its hands full of over-priced, over-rated, over-hyped "free" agent ego.

Indeed, a timely parting of ways. With the Braves re-tooling (and no, I don't mean they're hiring Roy) in the offseason, Jones would have been a sore spot in their new configuration. They made a great move getting rid of him.

How could the Dodgers not know what they were getting. He was batting .221 at the end of last year. He also doesn't care enough to work on getting better. Just dump this guy in the ocean and move on. Find some good trade in the off season. Jones' career is over.

They've been unhappy with him almost from the minute he signed his contract

Andruw Jones sucks. He owes the fans of Los Angeles and the game of baseball an apology. His effort and attitude are an embarrassment to the game, the franchise, it's fans and himself and his family. Disgusting.

Correct Sir!!

I second that!!!!

Man, they're unhappy with .158/3/14??? Thanks for the news

Dodgers unhappy with Andruw.

No s***.

Scott Boras had Andruw seeing millions. Boras is the worst thing for baseball. He does not care about anything but himself and his millions. He doesn't care if a player wants to stay somewhere, he'll still talk him into going to free agency. I do think Andruw was extremely distracted in 2007 by free agency. The Braves had offered him good money, but Boras made him reject it. AJ could not concentrate all year and he had his worst season. Then he signs with the Dodgers on the West Coast despite still living in Atlanta and is just horrible all year. I'm not saying he would be hitting 50 HRs if he was in Atlanta. However, I think if he had negotiated his own contract instead of listening to the idiot Boras, he would have been happy in Atlanta and hitting his usual .265-.275 and 35 HRs.

Just imagine have Andruw Jones , Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera all on the same Team and you were the Manager !!! Could be worse ..... but Melky kicks gum better than anyone I ever seen.... Jones is so fat he can't see his foot and Cano ...well Cano is thinking about something else ....

He might be like the worst baseball ever right now.

hey guys give andruw some slat. He might make his 18 mil a year if he sells hot dogs and peanuts for the blue crew...lol
