Another year, another plea for Adam Jones to play deeper in the outfield

The idea that Adam Jones needs to play deeper in center field dates back almost as long as he is in Baltimore. The Orioles kicked off spring training with this theme being revisited for the umpteenth time. All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.

The Orioles had one of the worst outfield defenses in MLB last season, if not the worst, most people who don’t work for the Orioles agree. Even Orioles players and staff acknowledge there needs to be some improvement.

If you missed it, the genesis of this latest round of “Adam Jones should play deeper” is that at last month’s FanFest, Adam Jones said that the Orioles need to improve their outfield by adding more speed and athleticism on the corners.
