Does anybody have video of him batting now that we can compare to the old. I'm curious as to what changes he has made.

Loved the tools, initially thought he had a chance to be great, but after watching some video of the guy, I started having some definite doubts. As far out on his front foot as he was and as bad as his timing was, I honestly thought he might always just be one of those tantalizing talents who never quite put it together. Luckily, he looks to be taking those Curtis Granderson comparisons to the next level. Yeah, I was in that same boat.

But after someone posted a video of him and his swing from QC's last year...I had basically written him off. That was not a Pro swing, but wow did he put it all together of the Winter. What he is doing, as impressive as any Cards prospect has done this year...including Todd, Anderson and so on. I admit, I was a big fan of his and thought his time would eventually come.

He looked like an athlete with no general idea how to hit a baseball. I saw him when he was at Johnson City and I am really impressed with his progression as a baseball player.

The turnaround that Jones has displayed is unbelievable. I can't wait to see if he can keep it going at Springfield and beyond. One thing to really like about Daryl Jones’ season:
