Atlanta's Andruw Jones is a substantial bargain in today's baseball world. Compared to other outfielders, here's how the numbers stack up: In '07 Jones will make about 13.5 million. Alfonso Soriano signed with the Cubs for 17 million. Vernon Wells got 18 million from the Blue Jays. Even Carlos Lee got over 16 million from the Astros. None of these guys hit as many home runs as Andruw, and they sure don't play the outfield as well.

This year will be an interesting one for Andruw. Can he continue an improving trend and be a better slugger in addition to being a spectacular defensive player.

If I am the opposing pitcher Andruw may be the one guy I dont want to see up at the plate. Going to miss him next year.

Yeah, with the limited payroll and new Liberty Media owners, I don't know how in the world we will be able to keep him.
