The problem with Jones in Minnesota was that he was the only hitter on the team. He put himself under too much pressure, and he doesn't hit well under pressure (which explains the cold start to the season....he was under self-induced pressure to perform).
If you've watched him hit in the past few days, he's really starting to relax, warm up and find a groove. I think he'll be good for at least 20 homers this year, and should hit over .300. Just watch.
