Where in the World is...

Jacque Dewayne Jones?

Filing for unemployment benefits, apparently.

Tigers designate OF Jacque Jones for assignment

DETROIT (AP) — Jacque Jones was cut Monday by the Detroit Tigers, who had promised a lineup shakeup going into a homestand against the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.

Jones hit just .165 with a homer and five RBIs in 24 games for the Tigers, who acquired him during a busy offseason from the Chicago Cubs.

Two things about this stand out.

1) Can you really call cutting J-squared a shake-up?
2) You've got to have some huge cajones to cut a player with those kind of numbers. He's on pace for 5 HR, 25 RBI and 50 runs for God's sake! Hopefully, some team who is desperate to hit into more double plays will quickly snatch him up. Keep your fingers crossed.

Go Cubs.
