Sure, but I don't know why you would compare Jones to Mullins when he is so much more similar to Hays.

From a height and weight standpoint, none of the three are real similar. Jones and Mullins have totally different builds, which (I suspect) will manifest itself as Mullins having more speed and less power.

I will take Mookie Betts lite.

Mullins offensive games reminds me of Ray Durham.  Brian Roberts too as far as having a quick stroke and being able to really turn on an inside fastball.  

Defense I'll go Kenny Lofton.  Also LH, excellent range and body control, subpar arm.  Mullins doesn't have the pure speed of Lofton but I can't think of a better comp right now.  

You don't see a lot of 5'8 center fielders.  Players with Mullins build tend to play 2B.

I would be happy with this career, minus the 7 year mega million dollar extension.  Probably less triples due to playing in Camden Yards.

I see Adam’s WAR as a great outcome, but Mullins would get there slightly differently for sure. 

I don’t expect Mullins to be a 30 WAR guy.  But how about Coco Crisp as a comp, with fewer stolen bases?   .265/.327/.402 lifetime, 28.5 rWAR in a lengthy career.   I’d gladly take that.

I'd just like to thank Luke for the Pillar comp.

Definitely.

I would be happy if he can be a Kevin Pillar type player. I'd be even happier if his defense was as good at some point as Pillar.

Jones' game is closer to Hays.

We will be very fortunate if anyone in our organization approaches the career that Adam Jones has had. Whether you like his type of game or not. Even if you denigrate him because of wacky d stats. Jones was the man.

I think you tend to overrate Jones, but the fact is it probably will be a very long time before anyone matches his offensive totals accrued in 11 years with the Orioles.

Games - 8th

At Bats - 4th

Hits - 4th

Runs - 5th

Doubles - 7th

Homers - 5th

RBI - 5th

Strikeouts - 3rd

 

Here's where Jones ranks among active players, regardless of how many teams they played for:

Games - 21st

At bats - 17th

Runs - 26th

Hits - 19th

Doubles - 35th

Homers - 23rd

RBI - 27th

Strikeouts - 20th

 

Certainly an admirable career and he probably has a few years left to play.

I think Mullins has a chance.

We will talk when he is 30. Which is six years and 40 days from now.

Looking forward to it Weams.

I don’t think Mullins will put up those kinds of numbers.

You know how it is here.  A new guy starts off hot and people  comp them to stars, they struggle and they are AAAA players at best.
