Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

Andruw in John Donovan's Article

This is from an article on si.com regarding the free agent class.  Andruw is quoted several times, but I found this part to be the most interesting for two different reasons:

""I wish I could bring back the season from last year. But I can't. It just didn't work out," he said. "I think I have a really good idea of what went wrong. About a week after the season, I think I figured it out. I wish I could have fixed it during the season, but I didn't. So we'll see what happens."

Jones, who says a faulty stance led to his poor numbers, including 138 strikeouts and a .169 batting average with two outs and runners in scoring position, said all he wants out of free agency is to sign with a team that has a chance to win."

Star-divide

Part one - is it wrong that I'm angry that he couldn't figure it out at SOME POINT during the season?  I mean, 162 games is a long time to take to realize that your stance is messed up.  

Part two (re: free agency) - we shall see.

I think
he is just saying this to help his bank account.  Its not like this was the first season he has had a lot of strikeouts

garbage
Part two is complete and utter bullshit, pardon me the word. Same with Zito last year.

"Chance to win" the lottery, perhaps.

seemingly, not a very bright man...
i mean, does he (and boras) actually think some gm will say, "oh, that's why he sucked but he claims to have figured it out so let's give him twenty million".  now that i write that i wouldn't put it past some of them.

I thought he was smart then...
With the Boras/A-Rod/Yankee fiasco, it looks like Andruw would be wise to forget him and use his Dad to negotiate his next contract...

He was swinging like an Ass-head.
I figured that one out a month into the season.
