The 29-year-old Jones has no major league experience and had a .303 batting average with 19 homers and 60 RBIs in 52 games for the Los Angeles Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate at Las Vegas this year.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
