Former Atlanta Brave Andruw Jones would like to come back home. "I've got one more year in my contract," said Jones, now playing with the L.A. Dodgers. "Hopefully, I can come back to Atlanta. I would love to finish my career here." Jones' first year with the Dodgers ended early. He was moved to the 60-day disabled list on Sept. 13, after hitting .158 with three homers and 76 strikeouts in 209 at-bats. "I've been rehabbing, working out again," he said. "I feel good." Jones and wife Nicole have continued to make metro Atlanta their home.

Morning faith.

Jones probably talked to some shaman from the 3rd world island he lived on and was convinced he needed to get his magic back by returning to the sacred Turner Field ground.

I think the Atlanta is the only place he's capable of producing.

Great angle on that photo. "Are you lookin' at my gut?? Well I'm workin' on it!"

"Hopefully, I can come back to Atlanta. I would love to finish my career here." I thought his career was already over.

You already finished your career in Atlanta Andruw.

Braves have to want him back for this to happen and that's not likely.

This should work out perfectly........ because I'm sure the Braves are in the market for a fat, lazy, overpriced centerfielder that can hit .170

Sorry Ten I didn't see you had already covered this story. My mistake.

Dodgers should offer to pay 100% of his salary and send him to the Braves for a low minor leaguer. If Atlanta refuses, then even Andruw should realize that his career is over.

Well the minor leaguer would be more valuable at this point. And prob could hit slightly better than the 170 Jones put up in the majors. This guy was def on the juice because no one has that bad of a regression. He isn't even that old either so you know it had to be something else and my guess is steroids.

Oh, good God NO!!! Dude needs to mix in an ab roller and add about .200 points to his batting average for us to even consider it.

October 31, 2008  02:34 PM ET

Looks like he's carrying around a texas sheet cake under that jersey
