(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!
