Jones would need to make a miraculous comeback by this stage. Jones was really usually a .265 hitter, but was a marvelous center fielder with power for Atlanta, and is still only 31 or 32. The career homer totals were very good for someone of his age. The problem is, he was bad in '07 and positively awful last year. While some team may sign him to a low risk or minor league deal, and I think some club will, he would need to do a complete about face immediately.

Update: I'd give a 2.5 on Jones, but I'll round down based on his recent play. The numbers Jones has at just age 31 are amazing...371 homeruns, 1066 runs, and 1131 RBI. Combine that with his amazing 10 Gold Gloves, and it seems impossible that he wouldn't be a Hall of Famer. However, I don't think there are too many guys in Cooperstown who have had consecutive years batting .222 and .158. Jones obviously has a hell of a track record and some years ahead of him to bounce back. However, I can't imagine a guy with his recent performance being Hall worthy.
11/3/2005 - **** Andruw Jones is an amazing centerfielder and has also developed into a good offensive threat. He is still young and should have a long career. I predict more gold gloves and solid career number when he is done. I cannot think of any other contemporary centerfielders to Jones, who will make it into the Hall of Fame instead of him.

Unless there is a miraculous bounce back, his career may be over. He will probably never reach the level he was at a few years ago.

Still has a decent shot given he is still in his early 30's. He just has to shake off his TERRIBLE 08 year!

Moving from borderline to strong hall of famer. A great fielder and showing his heavy stick on a consistent basis.

I'll give him 75%.
