Braves Sign Mitch Jones

The Braves signed outfielder/first baseman Mitch Jones, reports David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.  The 32-year-old is a minor league lifer with five Triple A seasons under his belt.  He has big-time power, with 35 home runs and a .651 SLG this year for the Albuquerque Isotopes.  Sometimes all these so-called Quad-A guys need is an opportunity; Jack Cust provided good value for the A's over the last three seasons.
