Melky is fine in CF. Jones would be a pretty significant downgrade for the team to sign. His value over Melky is extremely marginal (if at all) in pure terms of on the field ability. If you take into account that you could sign someone that could play 1B better than a drooler at 1B. ZOMG.

Obv Melky isn't a long term solution unless he significantly picks up his play (again he's below avg for the yanks, but considered how many HOFers or marginal ones you spread around the diamond... I mean... really), but he's essentially free and young.

This whole subject puts me on tilt.
