Jacque Jones

Does anyone know why Jacque Jones was pulled today after only 1 Ab???

I've looked at all the sites and haven't found anything about an injury so hopefully he'll be alright and back in the lineup tomorrow.

Anyone heard anything....anything at all. Come on you people of MIN speak up.

I dont think there is anything wrong. I checked everywhere i knew of and couldnt find anything about an injury. Its probably b/c of playing time for outfielders.

The Twins have unveiled a plan to squeeze seven hitters into five available lineup spots.
Torii Hunter, Jacque Jones, Lew Ford and Shannon Stewart, Justin Morneau, Doug Mientkiewicz and Matthew LeCroy will have to split up the outfield, first base, and DH duties, meaning at least two of them will be on the bench each day. Jones has already stated his displeasure about not playing every day. Manager Ron Gardenhire hinted that a trade could be on the way to remedy this issue. Hopefully the Twins can get rid of some of this excess to get middle infield or rotation help.

Strasil42, next time you quote something you make want to make reference to it....I'm sure RotoWorld would appreciate it. I also don't think Mientkiewicz will be a problem stealing Jones' potential ABs anymore.

I was thinking the same thing.
