Well, it is spring and hope sprins eternal. Jones is what he is - a guy who cannot hit a LHer to save his life. To return to anything like his 2002 level he has to be strictly platooned.

I honestly believe that Jones will play against the righties and Grissom will play against the lefties.

i really do hope that's what happens...grissom can help a lot of things-including teaching pierre to read pitchers and the pickoffs

If this is the Jacque Jones we see all year, I won't be disappointed! In his first at-bat of the intrasquad game today, he hit a homer off Rich Hill, a lefty!

and in his second he singled off of John Koronka...a lefty

note: Lee also hit an RBI 2B as the A team beat the B team 9-2

[The Big C]

Hopefully that won't be the Rich Hill and Koronka we see all year, inable to get out lefties who have a bad track record against lefties.

I hope Jacque will fit in well here.
