2019 Projections
2019 Fantasy Outlook
One of the few veterans left after the Orioles' in-season fire sale, Jones was unable to overcome the dearth of talent around him. Despite not missing any significant time, Jones finished with his fewest runs and RBI since 2008, his first year in Baltimore. That said, the poor team context alone didn't hurt Jones' bottom line. While he rode his swing-happy, high-contact ways to another solid batting average, it wasn't accompanied by the usual 25-plus homers. Jones' batted-ball distribution remained normal, but his year-to-year decline in barrel rate -- which has sunk from 9.2% in 2015 to 4.9% in 2018 -- may have finally cost him some over-the-fence power. Unless Jones tinkers with his launch angle, it may be tough for him to reach his career 14.6% HR/FB again. His performance at the dish is still deserving of a near-everyday gig, but his decline as a defender could force a move from center to a corner spot in his next home. Read Past Outlooks

Day off Sunday
Jones is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones will remain on the bench for the series finale against the Yankees and is slashing .250/.259/.321 over 56 at-bats in September. John Andreoli grabs the start in right field for the Orioles and will bat ninth.

Jones continues to produce at a high level, yet he's seemingly always undervalued when drafts and auctions roll around. He hit 26 home runs last year, marking his seventh straight season with 25-plus homers, and he exceeded 150 runs-plus-RBI for the eighth time in nine seasons. Jones has never walked much, and in 2017 his walk rate slid back to just 4.3 percent, but his contact skills are holding steady. Declining defense in recent years has dinged Jones' real-life value, but he should continue to play everyday regardless, and his extensive offensive track record outweighs concerns about the declining flyball rate and inflated HR/FB leading to a big, immediate dip in the power department. There are far sexier outfield options, but there is tremendous value in consistency, especially when it comes at a discount. Expect Jones to finish close to where he's been in every year this decade.
