John Paul Morosi of The Detroit Free Press reports that the Tigers have cut outfielder Jacque Jones.   And for good reason.  Jones hit just .165 in 24 games as the team’s left-fielder.  He’ll be replaced on the roster by Matt Joyce, who hit .299 with five home runs and 21 RBIs at Triple-A Toledo.

In a curious move, however, Gary Sheffield will start in left field today and Morosi believes that Sheff “will now start in left several times per week.”  It’s probably not even worth writing, but I’m going to write it anyway.  Is this a precurser to a Barry Bonds* signing?
