He gives them an upgrad in center defensively which will help the pitching staff plus some needed power to the middle of the lineup. The reason that this really is a great deal for LA is the length of the contract. A 2 year deal is almost unpresedented nowdays and is the real key to this deal. Jones certainly will be motivated to get a long term deal after this one and it is almost like he will have 2 contract years. QUOTE]
He surely was motivated this past year by doing a great Rob Deer impersonation.

I guess the previous 10 years where he was the best CF in the NL were a fluke?
