[quote=Cannon Shell]This a great deal for the Dodgers. The salary portion of the contract is 9 and 15 mlilion which is below par for a guy like Jones. Jose Guillen just got a 3 year $36 million dollar deal from KC. Jones is a far better and more reliable player than him for the same money. 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?
