Pitchers will challenge him because of Manny and if he stinks it up again then you bench him for the rest of the year and get this over with because I assure you Torre will still start him from time to time because of his contract.

And I highly doubt anyone would take Jones, even if the Dodgers were to agree to pay off his contract. I think the best way to handle Andruw is to bench him for the rest of the season while they try and make the playoffs (otherwise he's hurting them too much if he's in the lineup). Then let him start fresh next year and hope he produces right off the bat. Give him about a month. If he stinks, then just eat the contract and bench him again.
