I guess the knocks on him is that he’s a headcase, the stuff is down, and he looks much slimmer according to Braves fans. It seems maybe he has some demons, but that’s all fan speak.

Yesterday's game showed those concerns of the back end of the roster/ depth. Guys like Burrows and Funkhouser ... really struggled in AAA last year, yet make the opening day roster in 2020.
AND Fulmer appears to be far from his pre-injury self. Struggled in that 3rd inning yesterday.
I would love to see Maybin and Reyes atop the lineup I would probably do something like this
RF Maybin
CF Reyes
DH Miggy
1b Cron
LF Stewart
SS Goodrum
2b Schoop
3b Candelario
C Romine
Jones would get a ton of ABs against lefties and whenever I wanted to rest Stewart or Maybin (moving Reyes over to that spot).2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J. Coleman QB 7b) Kewshan Martin WR

Rony Garcia randomly was the 5th starter for the Tigers last night... not sure how he beat out Manning and Mize, but ok. I guess he won the job behind the scenes.

Not every day. Jones has a nice little hot streak but he has had those before. He doesn't control the strike zone at all which undermines his offensive impact. Defense is good enough but you have to be able to hit. There are other guys (Goodrum, Cron, Schoop) that have more offensive upside than Jones does.WHO CARES why it says paper jam when there is no paper jam?

Sad thing is the Tigers will rightfully move Jones up in the lineup, then his hot streak will run out because they moved him out of 9. No other logic then that.

They had to put him on the roster. Mize and Manning have minior league options left...Also they may get a call up as soon as the time passes where the team gets an extra year beofre Mize and Manning can become free agents.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeill

I would use him as a sometimes starter, defensive replacement/pinch runner.
Victor Reyes, OTOH, has shown offensive improvement. He is not the defender that Jones is but can make most plays in CF (he is better in a corner though). In his age 25 season he has more upside than Jones. A switch hitter than shows an ability to get on base and work the count some. He could walk more though. I like him in the two hole most days hitting behind Maybin.2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J.
