I don't get kicks out of watching fly balls, but I do get excited to see he is putting better swings on the ball with his new stance. He did not have a hit but he still got on base twice and put the bat on the ball which is an improvement. I'm not giving up on Jones less than a quarter of the way through the season. Throughout his career he has proven to be a very good hitter and I think he will break out of this slump just like Russell Martin broke out of his. You could feel Marting was going to break out of his slump earlier because he was starting to get good contact on the ball, but they would just be lined at someone. Jones is going to break out of this slump at some point and I think it could be very soon. It is insane to give up on a team or a player just because they had a bad month. A week ago fans thought the Dodgers' season was over, now we are two games over .500. Jones is still a great defensive outfielder and is going to break out of his slump and I am glad to see him take a different approach to the plate.
