Another full year of development would be good for him. Although I’d prefer Jones to stay in Tacoma until September call-ups. Another full year of development would be good for him.

If Guillen is hurt by then, put Borchard at 1B and move Sexson to DH. That would be exciting. Or put Jones in Left and move Ibanez to DH if Guillen is healthy. Since Hargrove doesn't understand or use numbers, and since he does understand about small sample sizes, it takes him several months to realize what is painfully obvious to everyone else (e.g., Crazy Carl) Maybe in a few months, we can get Jones to play RF, move Guillen to DH, and dump Vidro.

They have him under club control for a few more years; why don't you put him in a place where he might hit 300/400/600 out of no where? I don't normally buy into the importance placed upon confidence with professional athletes, but wouldn't it make some sense to have Tui excel, even superficially, at a level above rookie ball?

Brad Thomas walked in the winner, though I thought a couple pitches coulda been strikes. I woulda much rather watched them lose on a hit instead. Oh well...Jones and Reed kicked booty.
