Dave, I know you've discussed Jones' ceiling before, but have your feelings changes on the matter given his absolute tear on AAA pitching at 21 years of age at this point? Has his ceiling evolved, and, if so, where is it moving towards at this point? P.S. Dave,

I know you’ve discussed Jones’ ceiling before, but have your feelings changes on the matter given his absolute tear on AAA pitching at 21 years of age at this point? Has his ceiling evolved, and, if so, where is it moving towards at this point?

If there is a possibility, when would we see something like this? During an elongated losing streak? What's the vibe you're getting from your contacts on the Adam Jones vs. Jose Vidro situation at this point in the front office? I know this may sound like a very odd idea, but if Beltre has to go on the DL (a possibility at this point), is there any way we see Vidro at 2B, Lopez at 3B, and Jones called up? Just curious.

I don’t mind Dudley’s managing lately, but organizational changes like these will probably happen when hell freezes over,…or we go significantly below .500.

The Ms aren't going to upgrade their rotation so they might as well upgrade their defense at what is a premium defensive position in their home park. I'm not so scared of all those ROOGY types... ;-) BTW, how does a team that plays 82 games in Safeco end up with a righty-heavy lineup? To me it’s pretty simple.

MOVE IBANEZ TO FIRST AND MOVE JONES UP. IDEALLY WE TRADE SEXSON FOR SOME YOUNG PITCHING. WE COULD TRADE HIM TO: YANKEES-GIAMBI OUT FOR YEAR TIGERS-SEAN CASEY?

Beltre to DL Adam to Left Ibanez to DH Vidro to 2B or 3B Lopez to 3B if Vidro goes to 2B Willie back to the bench where he belongs! Yeah we take a bit of a hit at defense (wherever Vidro is), but it isn't like Willie was providing gold glove defense at third! Plus we would get better D with Adam in Left.

Beltre to DL

Good to know. If they start losing again, and fall back to/below .500...I can only hope that Bavasi and Co. would 'take one for the team' before sacrificing Jones to save their jobs. “Every behind-the-curtains convo that I’ve gotten wind of says that Bavasi’s made Jones untouchable.”
