That clearly suggests that movement is highly valued and he was probably a much better card to begin with in PT19. Kind of like 78 Len Barker silver card that should have been a low Diamond/high Gold in PT19.

Thanks for the suggestion, but Jones was a disaster for 2 of my teams. I may try him again one day, but he never had a FIP lower than 5.40 or an ERA+ higher than 84ish for me. Might have been my ballpark or something, but he wasn't effective at all, and I tried him as starter and a reliever. He was my worst pitcher on my entire staff on my team in silver this past week. I currently am selling him on the AH
