Andrew Jones will walk to the plate at Turner Field in a Dodgers uniform for the first time tonight.

Any comments are welcome.

For lack of a better explanation, it sucks that Andruw didn't perform in his contract year.  There's no doubt that I miss seeing him in CF (even though I feel Kotsay is doing a good job filling those shoes).  Growing up, Andruw was one of my favorite Braves (he was also a constant).  While I do miss him, I agree that it was time to part ways...it was just in the best interest of the team (I died a little inside every time a pitcher threw the slider/breaking ball away with 2 strikes last season and he, automatically, swung and missed).  Still, I hope Andruw starts to turn it around this season and do well.  He will continue to be a player I track.

AJ became such a liability at the plate that even his heroics in the field could not overcome the costs. I miss what he used to be but not what he has become.

I think as Braves fans we will all miss Andruw.  I know this last year and a month haven't made him look like much, but as Braves fans we know what he meant to us. 

No matter what you knew when the game started his name would be in the lineup.  More than any other player he played with pain everyday. 

Defensively he was poetry in motion to watch.  Offensively....well there were times when he would carry the team unlike any player i've ever seen.  Of course there were also times when he frustrated me to no end with his seemingly undisciplined at bats.

Will he be missed?..............the old Andruw will.  the Andruw of today.........probably not.
