Early professional career

Andruw Jones signed with the Atlanta Braves organization as a free agent in 1993 at the age of 16. By 1996, he was being hailed as "the next Griffey." The Braves brought Jones up to Atlanta on August 15, 1996 when he was just 19 years old. He spent his early time in the majors playing in right field because established center fielders Marquis Grissom and Kenny Lofton were already entrenched in the position.

In Game 1 of the 1996 World Series on October 20, 1996, Jones was able to demonstrate his talents on the national stage. He connected for two home runs to left field on his first two at-bats as the Braves routed the New York Yankees 12-1. Jones became the youngest player ever to homer in the World Series (breaking the late Mickey Mantle's record - on Mantle's birthday.)

Major league career

Jones became the Braves' everyday right fielder in 1997, but he posted a disappointing .231 average. In 1998, Andruw moved to center field and had a much more encouraging season. His average improved to .271, he hit 31 homers, and stole 27 bases. He also won his first of ten straight Gold Glove Awards.

Whether he was in the batter's box or gliding under a fly ball to make a casual basket catch, Jones played the game in a very relaxed manner. This temporarily earned him the ire of manager Bobby Cox in June 1998 in an oft-forgotten incident in which Cox pulled Jones out of a game because he felt Andruw had lazily allowed a single to drop in center field. Bobby Cox (born May 21, 1941 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA) a graduate of Selma High School in Selma, California and Reedley College, class of 1959, Reedley, California, is the current and longtime manager of the Atlanta Braves, and a former third baseman in Major League Baseball. ...

Still only 22 years old, Jones had similar numbers in 1999, and though he was a dependable (he played all 162 games that season) and good player, many began to wonder if or when he would live up to the potential that they believed he possessed. He had a mini-breakout season in 2000 with career highs in average (.303), homers (36), and RBI (104). He also earned his first All-Star appearance.

However, in 2001 his average fell and his strikeouts went up. By now, Jones had gained nearly 30 pounds since reaching the majors, greatly diminishing his speed on the basepaths (he would not steal more than 11 bases after 2001). He maintained similar numbers in 2002, but was still playing superb defense. In 2003, with power-hitting Gary Sheffield in the lineup, Jones set a new career high in RBI (116). Unfortunately, he took a step backward in 2004 when he hit less than 30 homers and struck out a whopping 147 times. The following are the baseball events of the year 2001 throughout the world. ...

Breakout in 2005

Although Andruw had developed into an outstanding center fielder and a solid offensive player, the general feeling shared by many fans and critics was that Jones had not lived up to the superstar expectations that had been pinned on him ten years before.

Prior to the 2005 season, Jones increased his workout regimen and, following advice given by Hall of Famer Willie Mays, widened his batting stance. The result was Andruw's most productive offensive season ever. Jones hit a major league-leading 51 home runs, surpassing Hank Aaron's and Eddie Mathews' single-season club record. He also led the National League with a career-high 128 RBI. Jones's torrid hitting in the summer, especially while teammate Chipper Jones was out with injury, helped carry the Braves to their 14th consecutive division championship.

Before the 2006 season, Jones played in the World Baseball Classic for the Netherlands. Jones continued to dominate opposing pitchers in 2006, finishing the season with 41 home runs and 129 RBI. Jones also became more selective at the plate (82 walks, as compared to 64 the prior season), which helped him score 107 runs during 2006, an increase of 12 over the prior year and his most in a single season since 2000.

Jones with the Braves in 2007

Coming into the last year of his current contract with the Braves, many fans and sports analysts alike felt that 2007 would be the last year in which Jones would be a Brave, mostly because of his potential value on the market that the Braves would not be able to afford. Jones, however, had an unexpectedly poor start to the season, striking out 51 times in 41 games and carrying a batting average in the low .200's for the majority of April and May.

On December 5, 2007, Jones agreed to a 2-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, worth $36.2 million. [1] Jones went through a rough slump at the beginning of the season, at one point hitting .100 (as of April 18th, 2008 Andruw is hitting .167). His lack of performance forced him into the back of the lineup, and has resulted in booing from fans after failing to hit. On April 19 Jones hit his first home run as a Dodger, appropriately enough at Turner Field against the Braves. Due to his lack of production, Jones was dropped to eighth in the Dodger line-up.
