Jacque Jones designated for assignment
Published 5/5/2008 by Lee Panas at Tiger Tales: A Detroit Tigers Blog
... for the upcoming series versus the Red Sox and the first change has already happened. Jacque Jones has been designated for assignment and Matt Joyce has been recalled from Toledo. Jones had been batting .165 with four extra base hits in 79 at bats this year. They have ten days to either trade or release Jones with a trade being highly unlikely. Joyce is a 23 year old left-handed hitter who was off to a good start for the Mud Hens this year - .299/.367/.536 in 97 at bats. He batted .257/.333/.454 for AA Erie last year but finished strong after a very slow start. He was also ...

The scapegoating begins: Jacque Jones DFA'ed

The first of Jim Leyland's "drastic" moves has been announced. The Tigers have essentially called their acquisition of Jacque Jones an EPIC FAIL, as Jones was designated for assignment this afternoon. ...

Jacque Jones DFA’d
Published 5/5/2008 by Kurt at Mack Avenue Tigers
Yup, that’s a pretty drastic start. Danny Knobler is reporting that the Tigers designated for assignment Jacque Jones and recalled OF Matt Joyce from AAA Toledo. Jones, as anyone who watched the Tigers knows, wasn’t cutting it. He was a left handed batter. That’s about all you can say about him. His arm was inconsistent in left field. He did show a lot of effort, running himself into the fans in a painful looking attempt at a foul ball. That deserves praise. But he just wasn’t helping the team all that much. This allows the ...

Au Revoir, Jacque Jones

... That's two punching bags down now, Tigers fans.  First, Jason Grilli was sent to Colorado last week.  Today, Jacque Jones was told his services would no longer be required by the Detroit Tigers.  Jim Leyland promised changes (though initially made it sound as if no one would be losing his job), and this is certainly one I think Tiger Town will support wholeheartedly.  Jones was designated for assignment this afternoon (approximately an hour ago, to be exact), and outfielder Matt Joyce was called up from ...

... So the Cubs are probably more likely to pick Jacque Jones back up (Detroit designated him for assignment) than they are to sign Barry to a contract. I don't want to argue the moralistic issues here - mostly because I could care less about them - but I will say this. Junior Griffey is defensively useless in right field. I know, I know, he made a great catch at the wall tonight. Wee. His range as an outfielder is still on the rapid decline. ...

WILLIE AND OLLIE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON, LACK OF FOCUS

... to blame the fans? It’s not just Willie it’s the Skill Sets and Omar as well someone in authority should come on SNY tonight and rebuke any of this the Mets play better on the road than at home because of the hard demanding fans bullshit and put it to rest. I remember the not long ago days when you could count the number of fans at Mets game in the low five figures so the advice I give to the Mets manager, GM, Owner and players is shut the fuck up and play ball. Anyone for a Jacque Jones/Moises Alou platoon in LF? ...
