Our View:
Jones needed a solid performance, as he was batting 1-for-13 over his previous three games. He collected his 69th RBI, and hopefully he has broken free of his slump.
August 5, 2009
Adam Jones went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in tonight's 4-2 loss at Detroit. He hit a single and a two-run homer off Edwin Jackson. He also swiped a base.
Our View:
The Orioles had another disappointing outing, but Jones managed to come through for fantasy owners. He raised his batting average to .300 and notched his team-leading 19th homer.
August 2, 2009
Adam Jones went 3-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored in the Orioles' embarrassing 18-10 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.
Our View:
Jones struggled mightily in June, showed signs of improvement in July and has started August with a bang. Since turning the calendar page he's 5-for-8 with a homer and three RBI. We expect more good things to come out of this talented youngster.
August 1, 2009
Adam Jones went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in tonight's 4-0 loss to Boston at Camden Yards.

July 27, 2009
Adam Jones hit his 15th home run of the season against Kansas City on Monday.
Our View:
Jones has gone just 2-of-17 at the plate the last four days, but as long as he continues to hit for power, you won't hear his owners complaining.
July 22, 2009
Adam Jones homered and went 4-for-5 in the Orioles' 6-4 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.
Our View:
The first time All Star continued his July resurgence and now has his average up to .318 on the month. He started the season on a tear, but slumped badly in June with a .229 average and just one home run. Looks like he's righted the ship.
July 18, 2009
All-Star Adam Jones had a big night for the Orioles on Friday, but it wasn't enough as Baltimore fell to the White Sox by a score of 12-8. Jones went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI.
Our View:
Jones has been a bit banged up lately, but he sure looked fine tonight. As long as he stays healthy, it looks like he will have a productive second half. He still remains a solid fantay option in all leagues.
July 13, 2009
The Baltimore Sun is reporting that Orioles' outfielder Adam Jones had fluid drained from his knees twice in the past week. Jones said that he will still play in the All-Star game on Tuesday night.
Our View:
Jones could really use the break to rest up, but it shouldn't take too much of a toll on him playing a few innings Tuesday night. Fantasy owners should be a bit concerned with the fact that he is banged up, but as long as he is in the lineup you should keep him in as well.
July 8, 2009
Adam Jones was 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in the Orioles 5-3 come from behind win over the Mariners on Wednesday.
Our View:
After destroying the ball in April (.359) and May (.333) Jones slumped horribly in June (.229). He seems to be back on track in July, but he hasn't homered since June 13th. That's not a good sign.
July 4, 2009
Adam Jones went 3-for-4 with two RBIs on Saturday night, good for his first multi-RBI game since June 13, but the Orioles still lost to the Angels, 11-4.
Our View:
Jones has cooled off considerably since a monster start to the season, but should still be in your lineup everyday as a second or third outfielder in most formats.
July 1, 2009
According to MASN.com, Adam Jones is out of that starting lineup on Wednesday due to lingering effects from crashing into the fence in Tuesday night's game.
Our View:
The collision left Jones sore and with a nasty headache, but the budding young outfielder swears he could play if needed. Consider him day-to-day, but this seems precautionary and he should be in the lineup no Thursday.
June 30, 2009
Adam Jones exited tonight's game against Boston, according to MASN Sports.
Our View:
Jones may have sustained a neck or shoulder injury after crashing into the outfield wall. We will keep you posted when his status is updated.
June 15, 2009
MLB.com reports that outfielder Adam Jones is expected to be back in the Orioles lineup on Tuesday. He left Sunday's game with a tight right hamstring. Manager Dave Trembley did say that he would be cautious with Jones if the injury persists.
Our View:
Jones is having a monster sophomore campaign. He is currently hitting .324 with a .938 OPS. He has scored 44 times, ranking 10th in the AL and driven in another 41 runs. He should be a safe play this week.
June 13, 2009
Adam Jones led the Orioles in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Braves at Camden Yards, as he went 1-for-4 with a homer and three RBI.
Our View:
Jones ended a 15-game drought without a homer. He still leads the Orioles with 41 RBI and a .324 batting average.
June 10, 2009
Adam Jones will hit third in the Orioles lineup when they face left-handers. The move was made to break up Aubrey Huff and Nick Markakis, both left-handed hitters, in the order.
Our View:
This should open up a few more RBI opportunities for Jones, although he has not had much of a problem getting RBI in the No. 2 spot. Jones is hitting .340 on the season with 37 RBI and 42 runs scored.
June 7, 2009
Adam Jones went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the A's. Both hits were singles.

June 3, 2009
Adam Jones went 2-for-4 with a single and a double in Tuesday's 8-2 loss at Seattle.
Our View:
The Orioles only had six hits as a team, and Jones was a lone bright spot offensively. Jones is enjoying a breakout campaign with Baltimore, as he leads the club with a .347 batting average, 11 homers and 41 runs scored.
May 24, 2009
Adam Jones went 1-for-4 with a home run, two runs, and two RBI in the Orioles' 8-5 loss on Sunday. Jones is now hitting .359 on the year.
Our View:
Jones has really had a breakout season so far in 2009, and he is showing no signs of slowing down. This guy is the real deal, so keep playing him if you have him or trade him now while his value is sky high.
May 22, 2009
Adam Jones went 3-for-5 with three RBI and a double as the Orioles beat the Nationals 4-2 in 12 innings on Friday.

May 15, 2009
Adam Jones missed Thursday's game at Kansas City after suffering a strained hamstring Wednesday, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Our View:
The injury is not believed to be serious enough to send him to the DL, and Jones may be able to return at some point this weekend. He is considered day-to-day.
May 13, 2009
According to MLB.com, Adam Jones left Wednesday's game with a strained hamstring.
Our View:
Jones experienced hamstring issues in April and this has quickly become a recurring problem. He's considered day-to-day, but don't be surprised if he winds up on the DL due to the O's very short bench.
May 12, 2009
Adam Jones belted two homers in consecutive innings in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Rays. He smacked a solo shot in the first and a three-run shot in the second.
Our View:
Jones is on fire. He now has eight homers, 25 RBI and is hitting .363 on the year. He and Nick Markakis have become a two-man wrecking crew in Baltimore this season. We'd like to say the future looks bright for the O's, but there is still the small matter of pitching to address.
May 9, 2009
Adam Jones was 3-for-5, with a homer, two runs scored and two RBI in the Orioles' 12-5 beat down of the Yankees on Saturday.
Our View:
Jones is hitting .353 with six home runs and 21 RBI this season and is becoming the breakout star the Orioles were banking on. He likely won't be hidden in the lower draft rounds from here on out, so enjoy him on the cheap while you can.
May 2, 2009
Outfielder Adam Jones went 3-for-6 with a homer, a steal, two runs, and an RBI in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jays. He has multiple hits in four straight games.
Our View:

April 29, 2009
Outfielder Adam Jones went 2-for-4 with a run in Wednesday's loss to the Angels. He is up to .359 and has scored 24 times over 20 games.

April 28, 2009
Adam Jones clubbed his fourth home run of the season on Tuesday in the Orioles' 7-5 loss to the Angels. He was 2-for-4 on the day.
Our View:

April 26, 2009
Adam Jones had a huge day on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a double and the go-ahead home run in the sixth as the Orioles beat the Rangers 8-5. Jones scored twice and drove in three on the day.

Jones has been playing very well in 2009 when healthy, and he showed today why many people think he is due for a breakout year. Jones has the potential to be a big factor in mixed leagues, so play him now while he is hot.
April 21, 2009
The Baltimore Sun reports that Adam Jones was scratched from Tuesday's lineup after his hamstring flared up in warm ups.
Our View:
Jones has missed the last couple games due to the injury. He was playing very well prior to the injury and hopefully it is not the type of hamstring problem that follows him throughout the season.
April 21, 2009
Adam Jones expects to be in the Orioles' lineup on Tuesday, according to the Baltimore Sun. Jones was removed from Baltimore's game on Sunday with tightness in his hamstring.
Our View:
Looks like Adam "Don't call me PacMan" Jones is feeling fine and ready to return to the lineup. Feel free to get him back in your fantasy lineup as well, as he has been on fire to start the season. He is hitting .372 with 12 RBI and 15 runs so far in 2009 and is a good start in any league.
April 20, 2009
According to the Baltimore Sun, Adam Jones will not play in the Orioles' game Monday against the Red Sox after leaving the game Sunday with tightness in his right hamstring. He said that the injury isn't serious but that he doesn't need to be a hero this early in the season.
Our View:
Keep Jones out of the lineup today and check back to see if he will return for the Orioles' next game. He indicated that it is possible he may miss more than one game, but he will likely be back sometime before the end of the week.
April 19, 2009

April 19, 2009

April 17, 2009
Outfielder Adam Jones continued his hot start to 2009 by going 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs, and one RBI against the Red Sox on Friday night.
Our View:
Jones has delivered multi-hit performances in six of the O's 10 games, and it's very rare to see this free-swinger walk twice in a contest. In fact, it happened only two times in 2008. He is maturing before our very eyes. We're so proud.
April 14, 2009
Adam Jones hit his first home run of the season in Tuesday's 7-5 ten-inning win over the Rangers. It came off Eddie Guardado in the tenth inning and gave the Orioles their sixth win of the year. Jones was 2-for-4 on the day and drove in three total runs.
Our View:
The highly touted young center fielder is off to a great start in what could be his much anticipated breakout campaign. He had a strong June and July last year before being slowed by injuries and looks to be building on that now that he's healthy again.
April 6, 2009
Adam Jones was 3-for-3 with a triple, three runs scored, two RBI, and two walks as the Orioles beat the Yankees 10-5 on Monday. He hit No. 2 in the order in between Brian Roberts and Nick Markakis.
Our View:
Jones had a strong finish last year in his first season with the Orioles, and he figures to continue that improvement in 2009. The two walks may be the most important stat of his from today's game. He managed only 23 walks against 108 strikeouts last season. Those numbers helped lead to his .311 OBP.
March 30, 2009
Adam Jones hit a solo home run as the Orioles fell to the Mets 2-1 on Monday. It was his only hit in three at-bats.
Our View:
Jones now has three home runs this spring and continues to show the promise of an outstanding player. He may not blow up in 2009, but you can expect improvement on his decent 2008 numbers.
March 28, 2009
Adam Jones went 1-for-4 with a two run home run against St. Louis on Saturday.
Our View:
Jones, who's hit .367 this spring, has now gone yard in back-to-back games to go along with his seven stolen bases thug far. He'll be hitting between Brian Roberts and Nick Markakis and has legit 20/20 potential this season.
March 24, 2009
Outfielder Adam Jones will open the season as the No. 2 hitter in the Orioles lineup. "Obviously, he knows the areas he needs to improve on," manager Dave Trembley tells the Baltimore Sun. "He's worked on it and I think at the beginning of the year, you'll probably see him, most of the time, hitting in the two spot." He'll be followed by Nick Markakis, Aubrey Huff, and Melvin Mora.
Our View:
This is excellent news for Jones, who will be between Markakis and Brian Roberts. We were already pegging Adam for a better 2009, and he should see a lot of good pitches in the No. 2 hole. On the flip side, Mora owners are frowning. He did a lot of damage as the No. 3 hitter last year.
March 22, 2009
Adam Jones hit leadoff and finished 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored as the Orioles loss to the Cardinals 5-4 on Sunday.
Our View:
Jones is hitting .342 with a couple of home runs, a triple and four doubles this spring. His lack of power last year was a concern, as he has shown the ability to hit home runs in the minors. He figures to be the O's starting center fielder this season and holds some decent sleeper value.
February 28, 2009
Adam Jones has missed the last two exhibition games while dealing with tightness in his right forearm, according to MASN Sports.
Our View:
He is not concerned, and expects to be back in a few days. If healthy, Jones is expected to be the Orioles' starting center fielder.
