Was announced late last night after the M's dramatic 12th inning win over the Angels, but stud outfielder Adam Jones will be called up Friday. Hopefully this means Jose "I can't buy an extra basehit" Vidro will take a seat, Raul Ibanez will take his steadily declining defensive skills to DH, and Jones will assume his rightful place in left field. This is a huge, huge upgrade for the M's both offensively and defensively. Jones has been torching AAA hitting all year, and would have been up weeks ago if Hargrove hadn't resigned, and McLaren needed a month to get the team's trust as manager.
Little used Jason Ellison is being jettisoned to make room for Jones, the best hitting prospect to come along in a long, long time. If you're in a fantasy baseball league and need a strong outfield bat, and he isn't already picked up, get him NOW.

Might want to throw Hunter in there too, just to make sure!!!
Not saying the kid hasn't been impressive in the minors, but benching an established major leaguer who's hitting 300 for a minor leaguer is a ballsy move.

The season isn't 'hanging' on Jones, but he's a significant upgrade in LF over Ibanez.
I'm an Angels fan so I can't give you my "best of Luck" line. Wife is from Seattle and my father in law is a HUGE fan and has nothing but good things to say about AJ
