But it appears the veteran third baseman may now be even more serious about pursuing that option. Jones is expected to discuss his plans for the future with Braves general manager Frank Wren and manager Bobby Cox on Tuesday afternoon. While it was unknown whether Jones will definitively say that this will be his final season, he certainly seemed to provide some indication of that on Sunday, when he said that he believed the Braves are in good hands with Brooks Conrad or Omar Infante playing third base. "I don't think anybody in here has any less confidence with those guys in the lineup than they do with me," Jones said. "I think they've proven themselves worthy of stepping in and compensating for my absence." Jones, 38, has batted .228 with three homers and 22 RBIs in the 51 games he has played for the Braves this year. But the fact that his production has dropped since he won his first career batting title in 2008 isn't believed to be the only motivating factor behind his decision to at least contemplate retirement. The Braves signed Jones to a three-year, $42 million contract extension last year. But despite the fact that he would still be guaranteed $28 million during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, he has said that finances would not influence his decision. Jones was taken with the first overall selection in the 1990 First-Year Player Draft. He debuted with the Braves in 1993 and has spent his entire Major League career playing for Cox, who plans to end his storied managerial career at the end of this season. 大意: 老大今天將跟Wren以及Cox討論關於季末他的生涯規劃周日他說Infante或Conrad能稱職的頂下3B的位置這可能暗示著從1993年以來一直待在Cox麾下效力的他很可能會跟隨Cox一起退休後記: 老大的離開象徵著連續14年分區冠軍那輝煌年代的結束但是他也幫我們明年挪出了$14M的空間來補強我們近幾年貧弱不振的打線 Adam Dunn、Glaus、Derrek Lee、A-Gon、Berkman、Carlos Pena 希望明年能在我們打線中看到1~2個 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.170.59.18
