This wrist injury, which you have known about, better not be serious given that you just signed him to a big deal.
That is concerning since he had to pass a physical to finalize the deal.
I also don't buy that he's not durable - 500+ PA in '08 and '09, 600+ in '10 and '11
Also had 500+ in '06 and '07, 450+ in AAA and 60+ in MLB both seasons (as a Mariner)

119 and 132 games the other 2 years. That's half his Os career where he missed about 20% of the games or more.

He has only been in over 150 games once but did have 149 another year.

Yeah, those are facts, but I don't think they back up your claim about him not being durable.
With him averaging 150 games the last two years, and playing every game of this year; it is pretty hard to claim he is not durable. Pointing out that he missed time at ages 23, and 24 only matters so much, and certainly less than his health since '10.

Yea but you are still talking 10-15 games a year where you aren't able to have him, in his peak/prime years.He has only been in over 150 games once but did have 149 another year.

We only have 4 seasons to go.
He certainly isnt the durable player Nick has been.

A limited sample size like that might have zero to do with his wrist. Or, he could be trying to fight through the pain, and stay in the lineup. Showalter should decide for Jones, if Jones needs a day off.

As you know Chris I had my doubts, but hard to give him a day off now, he has Monday after all.After getting hit in the wrist Sunday, Jones was 1 for 12 in Boston. Even with his 2 hits (and game winning hr today) he is 2 for 10 in this series.

He is not a durable player..another reason the contract is risk.
Mickey Mantle was not a durable player.

I hope my last message didn't offend anyone. I was not trying to be smart or disrespect others' opinions. My only point was a player's durability is a crap-shoot. Some guys are unlucky or try too hard, others suffer major injuries and still produce impressive results. Nobody can predict what might happen so I wouldn't consider it very much for contract purposes.
Nope not at all Bob. Always good to hear from you.
No doubt about Jones' HR last night.
Season numbers: .310 baa, 11 doubles, 18 hr's, 39 rbi's, 13 bb's, 46 k's, 9 steals, .353 obp, .589 slg (.942 OPS), .401 wOBA, 13.3 UZR/150

Since May 30th, Jones is OPS'ing .671 with 4 homers. That said, as Stoner and I discussed in the game thread last night, good players have rough 6 week stretches all the time, and 671 isn't God awful or anything. I'm not willing to say this slump is because of the hand, but it certainly is an interesting correlation nevertheless.

3 homers, 3 doubles, 1 triple in the last 10 games.
Based on his current numbers, where would you like to see his season numbers end up?
