It seems that Jacque Jones likes what the Fish have going on…

Jacque Jones, who was designated for assignment last week by the Detroit Tigers, has expressed interest in joining the Florida Marlins if he is not dealt to another team within the 10-day period the Tigers were given to trade or release the veteran outfielder, reports the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

The Tigers would likely be on the hook for what’s left of his $5.5 million salary if they were to trade him to the Marlins.

I say, why not? First off, it doesn’t cost the Fish squat. It allows you to send Brett Carroll or Andino down to get playing time on a consistant basis and it gives you a proven veteran in the outfield who has been to the playoffs on 4 seperate occasions. I did some research and over the past 6 seasons and Jones has averaged (+ = just above):

.280 Avg
29 2B’s
+ 20 HR’s
+.760 OPS

The only thing that slipped with Jones last year were his HR and RBI totals. His strikeouts went from 117, 120, and 117 between 04-06 but dropped to 70 last year. His doubles rose from 21 in ‘06 to 33 in ‘07. The guy can still hit and demands respect at the plate. I think hes a valuable left handed bat that the Marlins could use in the lineup. He can hit leadoff (hell if Cody is, I’m sure Jones would fit fine) or be an effective 7-8 hitter at the bottom. I’m not sure about you guys but I feel incredibly comfortable with a Jacque Jones hitting 7 or 8 in our lineup.

The whole Tiger lineup has been struggling, and despite his low average, he's still on pace to strike out just under 100 times with a 500 AB season, well below his SO average per 500 AB's over the past 6 years.

As the past has proved, it’s amazing what a change of scenery can do for a player. The fish don’t even have to look too far down there bench to see Hendrikson, Helms, Cantu, and Gonzo reaping the benefits.

as you may notice it was my first attempt at making a text box. The first two paragraphs are from ESPN, the rest is my research

if hanley’s not thrown out that’s a run

No lead is safe in the Great American Ballpark!

do you let a guy throw 8 freaking balls in a row in the 10th inning?

Oh well, let’s hope we don’t get the bad end of a 4 game sweep….
