Andruw Jones wants out of LA
Who needs a change of scenery more than Andruw Jones, who is 31 and has one year left at $19 million? Those closest to him indicate there's no way Jones wants to return to Los Angeles, where the fans were tough. He had knee surgeries early in the year and late in the year and he wasn't around the team at all during the playoffs. One NL scout said, "Is he done? I wouldn't say that. But he's probably not the guy who hit 50 home runs. He can still play the outfield and he needs to get in shape."

The guy took the money and did nothing to earn it, and he thinks he's got the right to complain? Pathetic. And while the Dodgers would no doubt love to dump his misanthropic butt, who's gonna take him on at that price? No, not even the Yankees.

Gee Andruw, do ya think spending half the season on the DL and the other half hitting .158 while pulling down close to $20 mil had anything to do with the LA fans' sour attitude towards you?

What a coincidence! I bet the L.A wants him gone too! Oh yeah, and the millions of dollars they wasted on him...

Andruw has lost a step in center, but he could still be a very good corner outfielder. That is if he gets himself into shape.

Andruw Jones is all about his batting stance. When he hit 50 HRs a couple of years ago, he kept his feet wide at the plate. Watching him this year, his feet sre nearly as far apart and is causing him to swing at more bad pitches....

Andruw can kiss my ****, and after he's done slobbering on my cheeks he quit crying 'bout the fans in LA. What he really needs to do is get his fat, useless **** to the stinkin' batting cage and go on diet, and then he won't have to worry 'bout the Blue Crew's pitchers having a better batting average than his own (far below the Mendoza line). Mix in a freakin' salad once in a while so next spring we won't have to worry 'bout you whining about the fans calling you names like "Cream-Puff" and "Cash-Cow". Or better yet, just throw a blue n white bib on him and make him sell peanuts to the fans he luuuvvvs so much.

You better worry about getting your **** in shape instead of the fans giving you well deserved criticism. Another year like last year and you won't be playing on any major league team.

While there are plenty of worthy contenders for the crown, I's say based on his "production" last year vs what they're paying him, Jones is the worst FA signing in history. Who in their right mind would trade for this guy without making the Dodgers pay at least 90% of his contract. If i'm the Dodgers, I'd keep him and hope he comes on at the end of the season when he starts playing for a new contract, lol.

What? Boras got the idiot Dodgers to sign him for $36M for two years.... the Braves didn't offer Andruw A THING.... they knew he was washed up..... and now he's eaten himself out of LA and is pretty much worthless.... The Dodgers are hoping he somehow pulls it together, but if he doesn't, he'll be waived after Spring training..... he has zero trade value....
