Adam Jones Baltimore Orioles Helmets
Click to View/Hide Player Info
Adam Jones is an outfielder for the Baltimore Orioles.
He was originally drafted by the Seattle Mariners with the 37th pick of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft
as a shortstop/right handed pitcher.
Most experts believed that Seattle wanted to use him as a pitcher, but Jones said he'd prefer to play everyday
and was made the shortstop of the Mariners' rookie league affiliate.
A few years later when the Mariners acquired Yuniesky Betancourt, they asked Jones if he would move to the outfield,
and he agreed to give it a try and has continued to improve ever since.
On February 8, 2008, Jones was traded to the Baltimore Orioles.
Jones is now the Orioles' starting center fielder.
