I would be shocked if Andruw is playing CF at Jimmy's level when he is Jimmy's age. I can see him turning into a clone of Carlos Lee physically.

And there's always Andruw's famous lack of hustle...

You mean you don't care for his one handed catches near his chest, flip throws or occasional slow jog to the ball?

(Although Jimmy will showcase the occasional lollipop throw every once in a while, too.)

Not that - but I'm old enough to remember Bobby Cox yanking him from at least one game for lack of hustle out there.

I believe he's referring to Cox yanking Jones in the middle of a defensive inning due to lack of hustle chasing down a lazy fly ball, and letting it drop in front of him for a hit.

It was a while ago, but Jones still doesn't hustle out there all too much. Not surprising, given the approximately 75 pounds he's gained since 1996.

--P--

Oh yeah. I remember that now.
