re: I want Jones for one more year

I remembered reading this article earlier, 1B has really been devalued in MLB, I think Jones is facing a long slog and would have to become a much more consistent hitter to have a shot.

"Scouts tell me that the least drafted position in baseball is first base. There just aren't any,'' said Princeton baseball coach Scott Bradley. "The players who end up there were moved from other positions, unless they are projected as a 40- or 50-home run guy. It has become a stopgap position, a last-ditch effort.''

MLB 1B decline
