Andruw Jones wants to play until 2015
By
Chicago White Sox outfielder and designated, Andruw Jones, wants to bring his career to an even 20 years of service by playing five more years. He wants to start that journey by playing with the Sox at least for the 2011 season.
“Hopefully, I can be here because we have good chemistry going,” Jones told MLB.com (via Scott Merkin). “You know, I would love to play more [this season], but I knew when I signed my contract here, I know what my role was going to be.
I accepted it. I would like to be here again and be a part of the Chicago White Sox. Hopefully, we can finish strong and make the playoffs and get on a streak.”
Now that the White Sox have Manny Ramirez, it may be difficult for Jones to find playing time.
“Everybody says he’s getting old or he’s losing it,” said the 33-year-old Jones. “There are things you have to work on and try to get yourself more consistent. Hopefully when you get the opportunity to play, you can get back on that roll. But I’m looking for another five years, and if I play consistently, I should be where I want to be.”
In 88 games for the White Sox, he has hit .215/.322/.478 with 18 home runs and 42 RBIs. He will be a free-agent after the 2010 season.
