Cubs Sign Jacque Jones
The Cubs signed Jacque Jones to a reported 3 year, $16 mil deal. Jones has been aweful against lefties in his career, compiling a .616 OPS against them in 779 career AB.
What if Dusty platooned Jones, though?
So, as long as Baker never let's Jones see a LHP again, he just got player that has a little more pop than the average corner OFer. Of course, Baker isn't going to platoon him, so they got a below average offensive corner OFer for a little over $5 mil a year. He'd have to have some pretty good defense to justify that.
Jenkins' contract looks better and better.
