Interesting takes on Nolan Jones & Jazz.
Jones (ADP ~50) is overpriced for sure, but his profile didn’t look scary (passive, low swing%, takes walks, swStr% & o-swing% look fine…but bad zoneContact%).
Jazz (ADP ~65)…identical BAD 74.X zoneContact%. 15.2 swStr% trending the wrong way for Jazz, and he walks less than Jones did last year.
Jones actually hit lefties really well last year, too, so he should hopefully play everyday. Jazz in CF should play every day.
