You already have a goo power/speed mix, Jones seems to fit better int he overall scheme of things than Span, plus Spam might have to fight Carlos Gomez/Mike Cuddyer for at bats, and Jones is guaranteed a starting spot

Gotta go with Jones. He has some time under his belt and should only improve. I think his speed and power will both improve. The Orioles line up will put up runs. Its the pitching that stinks.

Jones for sure. He's a better player, more upside, and he's going to hit 2nd in the lineup.

help with mine please

I would go with Jones, better all around player plus he is going to bat 2nd in the O's lineup even making him a more appealing choice (more stolen bases.)

I agree with the others above. Jones probably gives you the most upside and he'll probably end up playing more than Span. Check mine out:
