Detroit – JaCoby Jones is getting antsy. Nothing against Lakeland, but he’s had enough. He wants to get back to Detroit, back to playing center field for the Tigers.
But, as manager Ron Gardenhire forthrightly pointed out before the game here Saturday, he’ll be summoned when he shows that he’s ready to play at the big-league level.
“He says, ‘When am I getting out of this place?’” Gardenhire said. “Well, you are in A-ball and you just struck out three out of four times. When am I getting out of here? Go figure. When you can get a couple of hits and not strike out three times in A-ball – that would be my answer.
