Horrible move. If 18 million per year is a discount for Andruw freaking Jones, and it's not - the Dodgers' offer far exceeded anything Jones received from other teams -, I'd hate to see list price.
Jesus, 18 million per for a .222 hitter (.263 lifetime) whose power decline coincides with the implementation of MLB's drug testing policy. Unacceptable. But then, this is what you get for hiring someone who learned at the knee of baseball's most overrated general manager, Brian Sabean. Bring in overpriced, over-the-hill talent and watch your team suck in August and September. Now there's a blueprint for success.
