Boras: CF Jones Won't Settle For One-Year Deal
20th November, 2007 - 5:22 pm
ESPN - Despite Andruw Jones' struggles, agent Scott Boras said Tuesday that he does not expect Jones to sign a one-year contract in an effort to rehabilitate his numbers and file for free agency again next winter.

Jones hit .222 last season. He's on the free agent market for the first time since 2001, and he's doing it in a winter filled with prominent center field alternatives.

Boras says he's undeterred.

"You're talking about a guy with 10 Gold Gloves in a row and 25 home runs 10 years in a row," Boras said. "The fact is, this guy in his worst year had 26 home runs, 94 RBIs and a Gold Glove. When you go back and look at the best center fielders out there today, Andruw's year of [power] production is very close to theirs. And this was his worst year." [READ]
