Dodgers sign Andruw Jones

It's official - Andruw Jones has signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

According to the Associated Press, "The Gold Glove center fielder and the Dodgers reached a preliminary agreement Wednesday night on a $36.2 million, two-year contract that gives him the fifth-highest average salary in the major leagues... A five-time All-Star, Jones will receive a $12.2 million signing bonus, of which $5.1 million is payable next year, $2.1 million in 2009 and $5 million in 2010. He well get salaries of $9 million next year and $15 million in 2009, and also will receive a no-trade clause." Good move by L.A.?

Cool Re: Dodgers sign Andruw Jones

I'm not in love with this. I think Jones is on the downside. I think Aaron Rowand would have been a better fit.

Re: Dodgers sign Andruw Jones

Good signing. Jones may not be a high BA/OBP/SLG guy, but he provides power and a run producer. Not to mention his superior glove. Plus, he's hit well in the post-season and you can never underestimate that factor.

If he declines as Pundit thinks, it's only a two-year deal so no harm.
