2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Guardians sent Jones to the Rockies this offseason for 21-year-old second base prospect Juan Brito. Considering Brito is already on the 40-man roster and has not played above Single-A, this was a very light return, but Cleveland didn't have room for Jones at the big-league level and Brito's hit-over-power, up-the-middle skill set fits the organization's priorities. Obviously playing in Colorado is preferable to playing in Cleveland, so from a fantasy standpoint, this was an upgrade. Jones didn't play poorly for a 24-year-old returning to Triple-A (122 wRC+) and getting his first taste of the majors (93 wRC+), but he is a corner outfielder who has not shown an ability to hit for the necessary game power to pull off that profile. The 12.5 BB% and 25.8 K% he showed at Triple-A would be excellent marks if it came with 25-plus homer power, but Jones managed 11 home runs in 83 games last season. His 14.5 Barrel% and 49.1 Hard% in the majors suggest he could still get to enough power to occupy the strong side of a platoon. The Rockies will probably give significant playing time to Kris Bryant, Randal Grichuk and Charlie Blackmon to start the season, and when injuries or poor performance strike, Jones could be the next man up.

Drives in three in win
Jones went 1-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, three RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 14-5 win over the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Jones knocked in one run on a fielder's choice in the third inning and added a two-run double a frame later. He's had a strong end of the season, hitting .330 (31-for-94) in September with six home runs, 10 steals and 21 RBI over 26 contests this month. Jones is at a .290/.383/.535 slash line with 19 homers, 18 steals, 60 RBI, 59 runs scored and 22 doubles across 103 games for the season, which has been a breakout year for the 25-year-old.

The most noteworthy thing that happened to Jones in 2020 was getting added to the 40-man roster as Rule 5 draft protection. The 22-year-old third baseman spent the summer at the alternate training site and also played in the fall instructional league. He has long excelled at working the count and using the whole field on offense while doing just enough to get by on defense. His patience at the plate leads to plenty of strikeouts as well, and he is unequivocally more valuable in OBP and points leagues than in roto leagues that use AVG. He has plus power to all fields, so he should eventually settle into a spot in the middle third of Cleveland's lineup. Jones has recently gotten work at first base and in the outfield so that he can bring some defensive versatility to the table. He should open the year at Triple-A and could debut this summer if he keeps his strikeout rate in check.
