Can Andruw Turn it Around?
Posted by: Skeet on June 25, 2007 at 4:54PM EST
As of today, Andruw Jones is batting .199 and his on-base percentage and slugging percentage are abysmal. He may be one of the greatest center fielders to ever play the game, but at the plate, his struggles are agonizing to watch. The crazy thing is, this is Andruw's much-publicized "contract" year, so if he could figure out how to fix his batting woes, you know he would. His agent, the notorious Scott Boras, must be developing multiple ulcers linked to Andruw's lack of performance. Nah, come to think of it, Boras has way too much money and way too many other clients to have concerns about the Braves' center fielder. The  question is, can Andruw turn this season around, or is he in the initial stages of a long, slow, career decline? Any opinions?

OK, so it's almost season end and Andruw is still lagging in the batter's box.

Since there are so many things to praise Jones about, it is difficult to criticize.

One sad truth though is that he never saw a pitch he didn't swing at.
