The Detroit Tigers decided to designate left fielder Jacque Jones for assignment, effectively ending his time with the team, even with the $3 million still owed to him this season. To replace Jones on the roster, minor league outfielder Matt Joyce was called up from AAA-Toledo. According to manager, Jim Leyland, Joyce will spend time in both left and right.

The Tigers, losing and paying a lot of money to do so, have cut St. Louis native and rapper Nelly former Twin Jacques Jones loose. I don't want to say anything, but after Chris Duncan's performance with the Cardinals, they could use a better glove in the outfield. Besides, it would be good for Nelly to return home Jones to play in the National League Central again.Thoughts on Jones and the lineup shuffle

Isn’t it something that we waited and waited to get the anticipated lineup together. First Granderson was injured, and then Sheffield and Polanco. And then everyone was set to come back and Carlos Guillen missed a couple games. Finally, on April 25th the 1000 run lineup took the field. And 8 days later on May 8th it’s been altered because it just wasn’t working. In that 8 ...Tigers Designate Jacque Jones for Assignment, Matthew Joyce Called Up From Toledo

The Jacque Jones era ended with a whimper today as the Tigers designated him for assignment after a tough first month to the season. He was hitting a tepid .165/.244/.253 and with the lack of power, the Tigers must have felt it was time to cut bait.

The Tigers only gave Jacque Jones twenty-four games to prove he could hit, but he got off to a slow start. Jones is a career .278 hitter and has the potential to hit 20 homeruns, but will likely fall somewhere between 10-15 this season. Jones is in the final year of his three year, sixteen million dollar deal, so the Tigers probably don't want him in their minors.

The Tigers have designated Jacque Jones for assignment. He's been terrible this year. The Tiggers have called up Matt Joyce to replace him, although I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a long-term solution or not. Marcus Thames is Jones' platoon partner, and Thames has been pretty bad this season, as well. It makes me wonder if the Tigers might not be interested in ...Detroit Cuts Jacque Jones

John Paul Morosi of The Detroit Free Press reports that the Tigers have cut outfielder Jacque Jones. And for good reason. Jones hit just .165 in 24 games as the team’s left-fielder. He’ll be replaced on the roster by Matt Joyce, who hit .299 with five home runs and 21 RBIs at Triple-A Toledo. In a curious move, however, Gary Sheffield will start in left field today and Morosi ...Au Revoir, Jacque Jones

Jim Leyland hinted at some "drastic" changes 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.
