“My AL MVP for 2013. Read more at http://www.FantasySportsEmpires.com ”

 

“Jones hit .280 or higher in each of his last two seasons while showing big gains in his home run totals. Jones is in his prime and should put up numbers similar to 2012, if not better.”

 

“At age 27, 30+ HR now expected as few of his 32 last year were cheap”

 

“Adam Jones finally found his power stroke and went for 32 HRs in 2012 as well as stealing a career high 16 Bases. While those numbers are good, Adam did only manage a very unimpressive 82 RBIs. This season with Brian Roberts healthy giving the Orioles their first relevant lead-off hitter since Brady Anderson, RBIs should come to Jones who can go 30/100/20 easily in 2013.”

“A.J. was a monster last season with Chicago, so he gets another 1-year deal where he has to prove his worth. Playing for a Rangers team that will need A.J. to replace Napoli and Josh Hamilton, he should get plenty of opporunities for a big year. Age could be a factor as last season seemed to be a fluke, but those 27 HRs were as consistent as any. It is not likely he will build on those numbers from a year ago, but he can easily duplicate.”

“Do you want McCutchen-like production at a discounted price? If so, Jones is your man. ”
