Do the Tigers bring Jonesy back? Does Jones accept any role in the bullpen to stay with Detroit?

Before the season I would have said Grady – as much as I love Grandy – based on age and OBP. But offensively right now it’s a push and Grandy is the better defender.

Sam recaps Blogger night, with lots of pictures. She summed up the high points and made fun of me for eating a fajita. Like last year there were lots of laughs and a good time was had by most.

All the pics from blogger night. Sam is quite amazing.

Maybe his last few games have influenced me, but for the right price, I think the Tigers could bring Jones back. There will be plenty of other good free-agent closers available, but they’ll probably want big money and lots of years on their contracts. If the Tigers think Joel Zumaya still isn’t ready to close next season, bringing back Jones for one year might not be a bad idea.
It was a burrito, you freak. Can’t even remember your own inappropriate ballpark food decisions…
This allows me the opportunity to say I like how Granderson runs around the bases so fast and non-chalant, slaps a hand or two and is in the dugout. Definitely a guy who acts like he’s been there before and will be there again.
The guy next to me at the ballgame the next night ALSO had one of the burritos. It looked and smelled yummy.
Age is irrelevant with “who’s better?” …
I’m fully capable of remembering what I ordered. It was a chicken fajita and it was delicious. I also highly recommend the Mucho Nacho.
It was shaped like a burrito! If it was a fajita then it was the wrongest fajita to ever keep company with incredibly out-of-date salsa.
You guys are doing an excellent job of selling the Bloggers Night experience for next year . . .
where do you get the fajita burrito??
Um. Offensively it’s a push? No, I think not. Does Grady have 22 triples?
That bloggers night seemed awesome.
And I am pro-bringing back Jones. I much prefer him at the end of the game and letting ‘Nando and Joel do their thing in the 7-8th innings where we need a shut down reliever more often.
Long live bloggers night!
The fajita, and the mucho nacho can be found in the food court.
Other highlights from the night included Fernando Rodney’s entrance music being “You’re the one that I want” from Grease and me continually giving Sam photo tips. If you haven’t heard me run a joke into the ground for 3 hours, you haven’t experienced bloggers night.
mucho nachos boys!! Best value in the ball park!! I typically can not eat the whole thing!!
Mucho Nachos are good. But then walk over to the ice cream place near the carousel and order a Boston Cooler from Reginald. He’s old enough (like me) and Detroit enough that you don’t have to call it a Vernor’s Float.
Reading all of these posts is making me hungry! I miss stadium food over the winter.
Bill count me in for bloggers night next year. It was a blast. Sam the photos are terrific.
The shame is that I was there, but didn’t realize it was blogger’s night. I would have stopped by and shook some hands. I was in 116 row 8. That’s about 1/2 between 1st base and the RF foul pole.
…and since we participate in a great baseball democracy, I’ll cast my vote to retain Jones as closer. I’ve always maintained the closer should only be judged on perentage of save opportunities converted. Strikeouts and ERA are tangent stats.
How can anyone not pick Granderson for ANYTHING?
You say “burrito,” he says “fajita.”
I was a bit disappointed no one went for the mucho nachos that night. No one was macho enough, I guess.
I’m sure the cardiologists of metro Detroit would cast their collective vote for “Heart Attack” Jones to be re-signed.
Coach Jim,I think a better indication of a pitcher’s ability are his K/BB ratio(as well as his total strikeouts),WHIP,and the opponent’s batting average against.Jones is an accident waiting to happen every time he takes the mound.I hope I’m never in a trench with him,cuz the bullet meant for him is sure to find me instead,such is his luck.But he’s a helluva nice guy.
