A Jones (Not A. Jones) We Could Get Behind

Courtesy of Dodger Thoughts comes this information about the possibility of Mitch Jones being called up on Tuesday...

...the Dodgers called up catcher A.J. Ellis and ... no one else yet. But based on his hot performance of late and the fact that an outfield vacancy has been created, I'm wondering if 31-year-old outfielder Mitch Jones, who has 221 career minor league home runs but has never spent a day in the major is going to get the chance to fill the opening.

Jon goes on to discuss his power numbers (21 homers in 55 games, a .351 on-base percentage, a .693 slugging percentage) and concludes that he could prove to be a welcome addition.

Jones will need to work on his BB:K ratio (49 strikeouts to only 18 walks); however, his bat appears to be an immediate upgrade over the likes of Juan Castro and Mark Loretta coming off the bench in a late inning situation. I was excited about Mitch Jones back when he was tearing the cover off the ball at the onset of Spring Training, and will no doubt be watching with enthusiasm now...if indeed he gets the call tomorrow.
