Fantasy Analysis
A few years back, Jones ascended through the Braves' system, appearing to be an emerging power threat. Over the last three seasons, his power has evaporated. He could edge out reserves Chris Dickerson and Brandon Boggs for playing time if he can regain his form, but his upside is no more than as a reserve outfielder. Consider him only for deeper NL-only formats. (Updated 01/06/2011).
