(Arizona St. WR Michael) Jones enjoyed Yankees experience
After his most productive season with the Arizona State football team, receiver Michael Jones put away his pads, opting instead for pinstripes. Jones, who had 46 catches for 769 yards and a team-high 10 touchdowns in 2007, spent his summer as a New York Yankees farmhand, playing rookie ball in Tampa.
Through 15 games in the Gulf Coast League, he batted a meager .184 but had five doubles, drew five walks and stole a base.
“Kept on hitting the ball right to people,” Jones said. “But I had a great time. I looked forward every day to playing baseball all day. That’s all you do. You don’t have to worry about school, outside distractions.”
Anyone know his BABIP?
Jones’ line at ASU last season was 172/347/293 - ick - but Dennis Erickson was in the stands during the playoffs!

.290
In 49 at bats his line is .184/.273/.286 with five walks and 18 strikeouts. I'd say he needs to look for a reason other than "bad luck" to explain his performance.
Well, he only cost the Yankees a pick in the 29th round.
MIKE JONES
Who?
Hes a also a real good 6-foot-5 WR. 46 catches, 770 yards and team-best 10 TDs last year.
Hes worth following. Hes a fine, graceful athlete whose baseball skills aren't as bad as his stats this year would lead you to believe.
Lots of guys like Jones in this years draft, I can count at least 4 star WR/CF that were taken and Jones' (or maybe Andrew Means') tools might be the best of all of them but the slap hitting Kyle Hudson probably has the best baseball skills.
