Should the Braves bring Andruw back? That is the question. They need a legit CF. Jones is available and he is right here in Atlanta.
The cost would be minimal. That's good. The Dodgers will pay him millions, so you don't have to. And dude wants to come back . Sounds like an easy decision for Fran Wren and Bobby Cox to make, but it really isn't.
    Before you sign Andruw Jones to a minor league deal, Bobby Cox has to sit down and have a heart to heart. Address a few things. See where his head is at. Find out what his attitude is like right now. If that's not right, then you need to pass. Seriously.
    The first thing that I'd like to know is this: Andruw, are you committed to getting it back? What is the commitment level? Is he fat and happy or is he ready to get back to work? Commitment #1 is to trim down. Get in shape. Eliminate that question from the equation. Look him in the eye and ask him to put down the cerveza's, quit partying and get serious about his conditioning. If he's not, don't bring him back.
    To me, this is a question about commitment. Is Andruw willing to do what ittakes to get back. And with every pro athlete, that starts with showing up in shape.
    Commitment #2 has to come between the ears and at the plate. Chipper says, "he's still got that pull-first mentality." That approach is pushing him out of the game. That mentality had him hitting .158 last season. Can he change? Can he go from trying to hit every pitch out of the park, to taking the pitch back up the middle? If not, don't bring him back.
    You'd think a guy who's in a situation where he's trying to salvage a career would be willing to do both of these things. To me, it's not really up to the Braves. It's all up to Andruw. It's up to him to come back and earn the job.
