Sounds like Jones wants some help and the O's be buyers

[TouchemAll]

From Melewski:

"I feel great with our guys here. Obviously, hopefully we are buyers at the trade deadline, every team can use one or two guys. But I like the team we have here. One or two guys that are out there on the open market definitely could help this team, but I'm not the GM and they don't ask me."

Yeah, this pretty much says it all.

I think Jones should just get out there in front and say which teammates he wants replaced.

I think Jones should just get out there in front and say which teammates he wants replaced.

I'd guess one starts with an "S" and one with a "P".......if I were guessing.

[eddie83]

I assume he is talking about offensive players.

[O's84]

I assume he is talking about offensive players.

Like Matusz?

I'd guess R and L. And he'd want Delmon back for P.

Like Matusz?

Bud, Brian, and Nolan.

[eddie83]

Like Matusz?

Did he pitch this weekend?

I do wonder if the offseason where popular players left has allowed these thoughts to creep into the clubhouse this year.

I think all the players feel the same way. They want to win it all.

Assuming the S is Snider. I watched an interview with Jones saying how much he liked Snider.

Now that doesn't mean he wouldn't like an upgrade from Snider but I don't think Snider is at the top of the list.

I agree with Jones, but it would be nice if he'd hit his HR's when guys are on base.

[Can_of_corn]

Geez everyone I wasn't being serious.

I think it is possible that Jones wants reinforcements and hasn't even thought about how it would mean someone else would get the boot.

Before today, I think Jones had an OPS south of .800. We don't need one or two players. We need the players we have to play better. Talk to Davis, yourself, and Tillman for starters.

Tillman has been outstanding his last 3 starts. Hopefully he can have another big 2nd half.
