    Via Bryan Hoch -

    The Yankees’ search for non-roster invitees led them to Andruw Jones, but the veteran outfielder reportedly turned down a chance to attend camp without a big league contract.

    SI.com reported Thursday that the Yankees had offered Jones a non-roster invitation to Spring Training, ostensibly to compete for the center-field job, but the proposal was rejected.

    Good.

      Is it me, or does it seem strange to think than Andruw has sunk this low? I mean, I still vividly remember him as an 18 year old hitting two mammoth HRs in Game 1 of the 1996 World Series.

      See Roberto Alomar. You never know when an all-star player is suddenly going to lose it, even if he’s not old.

      ~~Frightening, isn’t it?~~

      Esp. when you look at A-Rod’s contract.
