Adam Jones didn't look right in April, though the Orioles' consistent star didn't appear to be physically fit. In May however, Jonesy is back to his usual self. Life is better that way.
It's often taken for granted, as is the notion, but Adam Jones continues to be one of more unappreciated commodities in baseball. It is known.
Jonesy's lifetime .278/.318/.462 slash as a do-it-all center fielder remains overlooked. He whiffs too much they say. His UZR is strangely negative, they input into a formula. That's bad and all, until you see .270ish/.320ish/.460ish with 25ish home runs, 90ish RBIs and another Gold Glove on the mantle.
