Rudy Jones  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. If you're going in to face Jones, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Jones, and that's saying a lot. Dating back to his days in the minors, Jones has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Jones is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Jones has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Jones as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Jones to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Jones.
