1. He has 2 HRs in 171 ABs.
2. He has 11 RBIs.
I know, I know he was hurt for a while, and all that, but we're talking about a guy who hit 50+ home runs, and drove in at least 90 RBIs a year. I'm just happy he's on the Dodgers and they're stuck with his 30-sum-odd million dollar contract.

One Quarter in...for baseball!
Yahoo did their One Quarter In....thing this year for Major League Baseball, and I agree with most of it.
Especially this:
10. Chipper Jones will never retire. Not at this pace, anyway. He’s batting .415, and ranks fourth in the N.L. homers (10) and RBIs (31). Before the season, Jones—who is 36—said he wanted to play in 150 games this year. So far, he has been in 36 of 38.
Chipper Jones is having a superb year, a few more dingers before the AS break would be nice.
My first Quarter In shock is the Tampa Bay Rays. Holy shit, I know they have a good team, however, I never expected them to be so damn good. The hitting is outstanding, even the pitching is good. We all know that Scott Kazmir has talent, but Scott Shields? I told my boss at the beginning of the season that he was a backup pick, so he picked him up and thus far he's pitched at an alarmingly good rate.
The Florida Marlins also have been surprising, difference is, we know they've got a good team there. Hanley Ramirez is overlooked for the overrated Jose Reyes and Jimmy Rollins. Ramirez has power, speed, and can hit fucking anything.
Scott Olsen and Mark Hendrickson have been surprising for the Marlins, as well as basically their entire bullpen.
Something else surprising is Ryan Howards abysmal batting average and inability to hit. Andruw Jones' hardship serve him right, he's a douche. He's batting somewhere in the realm of .170...with ONE HR. I mean...
Good Fucking Riddance.

Andruw Jones signs with the Dodgers
Andruw Jones former Atlanta Brave signed with the Dodgers today, a 2-year deal worth somewhere around $37-million dollars.
Tuesday, October 2, 2007
Report: Andruw Jones out of Atlanta.
ESPN is reporting that John Schuerholz has told Andruw Jones and his Super-Agent Scott Boras that The Braves have no interest in resigning the Gold Glove Center Fielder.
Jones hit an abysmal .222 this season with 26 HRs and 94 rbis, his worst numbers in a very long time. In his first 86 games batting cleanup for the Bravos, Jones collected a low 64 rbis batting in the spot.
Therefore the Braves went and traded for Texas Ranger First Baseman Mark Teixeira, who came in on August 1st, and in his 54 games with ATL he had 56 rbis batting in the cleanup spot.
The Braves are at no loss for talent, however, they're probably looking for a one year replacement.
Also, The Mets have decided to stick with Willie Randolph despite the collapse of the team at the end of the season. No duh. Was there any doubt really. The guy is still a good manager, although at the end of the season he looked worse than Jose Reyes September Batting Average.
