No Glory Blog: Let's Go 2014 Texas Rangers!

In the end, the story of Garrett Jones, improbably Pirate hero came to crash in 2013. At one point in the year it seemed like every single time there was a close game, Jones came up in a key situation and struck out or weakly grounded to short. I think the expectations of him were too much, coming up as an older rookie in his peak physical years. At least he got to finish the year on the team but I'm sure it burned him up a bit to see Byrd and Morneau out there instead of him. Felix Pie has been disappointing his entire career and with the Pirates it started the same way. A couple good games had people thinking he might be the answer. He never is, though.
