As was predicted, FA OF Jacque Jones has signed a deal with the Marlins, and will report to Extended Spring Training soon. Ken Rosenthal says Jones, who was recently released by the Detroit Tigers, will serve as a left-handed bat off of the bench. However, according to Mike Phillips of the Miami Herald, Jones could replace the platoon of Cody Ross and Alfredo Amezaga and start at center field. Jones was hitting .165 with Detroit, but is a career .278 hitter.
