Jones started and ended the season on the injured list. He sprained his shoulder diving for a ball in one of the final exhibition games in Lakeland. That cost him two weeks and 11 games. His season ended on Aug. 8 when a 95-mph fastball from Royals right-hander Jorge Lopez fractured his left wrist. That cost him the final two months and 48 games. In between, he missed games with a hamstring injury and back stiffness. All told, he played in only 88 games. He got fewer than 300 at-bats. So, what do we make of his numbers? He raised his OPS by 110 points and his OPS-plus by 23. His slash-line was the best of his career (.235/.310/.430). He was a plus-15 on the bases and scored 38 percent of the time he got on base (39 runs, 103 times on base).
