Trip To The DL KNEEded For Jones: Wocka! Wocka! Wocka!

Aha!

Everyone has looked for reasons why the big Dodger Free Agent signing Andruw Jones was not performing up to snuff. People pointed out his weight, his attitude, his swing, his patience at the plate, you name it.

But no one thought it was something physical.

Until now.

News broke late last night that he has a knee problem - a knee problem that may require arthroscopic surgery.

In an odd decision, the Dodgers have decided to play a game of "wait and see" to see if some therapy on the knee makes it feel better so they don't have to DL him.

Are you kidding me?

Seriously?

He's in a horrific slump, probably the worst of his career. Worst case scenario is losing him for 15 days - not a big loss with how he's been hitting. To me, this is a win-win. You put him on the shelf, get the lineup that's been performing on the field every day - if he heals up right away, he's back in 15 days. If he's still hurting, scope the damn knee and get him back on July 1stish hopefully healthy and ready to contribute to the stretch drive.

I just can't see how this is a bad decision to have to make.

Pull the trigger, Ned. You'll feel much better for it.
