Chipper Jones to discuss retirement Tuesday

Baseball Betting Lines

06/15/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chipper Jones is meeting with Braves brass Tuesday and is reportedly considering retirement upon the conclusion of the 2010 season.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Jones is meeting with Braves manager Bobby Cox along with general manager Frank Wren and will address the media afterward. The paper indicated Jones will likely announce his retirement after 17 seasons with the club.

Jones signed a three-year $42 million contract extension before the 2009 campaign that runs through 2012 an includes an option for 2013. Jones turned 38 in April and saw his production slide in 2009 while injuries continued to mount.

He's currently dealing with a sore ring finger that sidelined him for a majority of Atlanta's recently completed 11-game road trip and has dealt with a multitude of injuries in recent years.

Jones is a six-time All-Star, was the 1999 NL MVP and won a batting title nearly a decade later with a .364 average in 2008. Regarded as one of the greatest switch-hitters in baseball history, Jones hit 20 or more home runs in 14 straight seasons (1995-2008), drove in over 100 runs eight straight years (1996-2003) and hit over .300 10 times.

A potential future Hall of Famer, Jones has a .306 lifetime average with 429 home runs, 1,467 RBI, a .406 on-base percentage and has walked more times than he has struck out (1,383-1,258).

In an era that has witnessed some of the game's biggest stars donning new uniforms as free agent contracts skyrocket, Jones will finish his career with the same club that drafted him first overall in 1990.
