Yes Virginia, There is an Andruw Jones
Andruw Jones is making headlines for something other than his weight. Wednesday night, the big free agent wash-out of 2008 slammed three homers for the Texas Rangers, leading the team to an 8-1 victory over the Angels.
“That’s what Andruw is capable of,” teammate Michael Young raved. “That’s not the first time he’s shown power; he’s been doing it his whole career. There aren’t many guys in the game who have as much natural power as Andruw.”
There aren’t many guys who have his appetite for junk food either. But Andruw has apparently curbed that, and now he’s back closer to the form the Dodgers thought he would achieve when they gave him $36 million for two years before the 2008 season.
Of course Andruw has one huge advantage now: he’s playing in Texas. Balls fly out of there faster than the Jonas Brothers fleeing a crowd of hormone-crazed early pubescents (of either sex). Even so, it’s not like Andruw is having an epic season – he’s hitting .250 with 14 homers, only 11 before Wednesday night. But, since the Rangers are only paying him $500,000 for this year, the performance-to-pay ratio is much more in their favor.
Now if they can just keep him away from Burger King, everything should be fine.
