He's good for 25 HR, 80 RBI whole hitting .280. He will strike out over 100 times.

Sure as heck is better than Marte in Center Field. Plus should be able to yield a prospect or two in a deadline trade.

Better than Marte in CF for sure but I think took overestimate his value at trade deadline if it comes to that.

I don't hate the signing.

I wouldn’t be so sure at this point. Jones has been terrible defensively for 2-3 years.

They've got Dyson as a defensive replacement, and Brito will probably stick as well.

Brito has been pretty awful the last couple of seasons. I don't know that he should even be on the 40 man roster at this point...

Dyson gets hurt climbing out of bed... Totally unreliable. And Brito is a career Triple-A, September call-up guy.
Signing Jones is a solid move.

I wonder if they’d consider signing CarGo as a 4th OF. Should come cheap and put up decent numbers last year in a reserve role. Souza concerns me, yes he leads the D-Backs in HRs but with 2 and it’s not like he’s raking this spring.
