"Fifteen years after he put on an eye-popping October show in the first game he ever played in Yankee Stadium, outfielder Andruw Jones agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Yankees on Thursday, sources confirmed to ESPN.com.
He also can earn an additional $1.2 million in incentives. Jones will earn $150,000 each for 250 and 275 plate appearances, $200,000 apiece for 300 and 325, and $250,000 each for 350 and 375, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press (ESPN)."
It has been a long time since Andruw Jones has been a great offensive weapon, but he still is a very good defensive player, and can play all three outfield positions. He is a great fit as a utility player, and as long as people don't expect much offensively he should be fine. Also, you could see his power numbers go up a bit, since he is playing at HR happy Yankee Stadium.
I wonder if Cashman sat on the sidelines for this one too?
