Braves Scouts Attended Rangers Game Thursday
According to the Dallas Morning News Seamheads blog, two Braves scouts attended Thursday's Rangers-Angels game.
Evan Grant theorizes that the Rangers may have claimed Andruw Jones to block the Angels. He also described the scouts' attendance as "unusual."

Said Buster Olney today on Jones:
"If they don't trade him today without getting his approval then they never will be able to. If Jones is in the lineup against the Reds this afternoon, we'll know he's staying, at least until the offseason."
Andruw deemed it "rude" that the Braves are keeping him in the dark about this waiver business. But John Schuerholz did say "He should know that we would talk if a trade was imminent."
I would've suggested that the Braves and Rangers were discussing Chris Reitsma or John Thomson, but both look to be out for the season. Still, waiver trades are almost never as interesting as Andruw Jones.

I can't see Andruw Jones clearing through the NL. Why wouldn't Houston, San Francisco, or LA try claiming him?

I don't think he cleared the whole NL and made it to Texas. But it certainly would be cool! I still think he'll be on the Braves at 1:30. No way they trade him right now. THey'd totally lose face. I like being wrong though!

I dont see how Houston lets him pass at all if they almost traded Oswalt for the guy

Yeah... Roto, do you think it's possible there could be a Hampton salary dump in any deal for Jones? Like whoever gets Jones has to take on Hampton and a sizeable amount of his contract.
If JS, were intent on dealing Jones and rebuilding quickly, he'd be better off just dumping $25+ million in annual payroll.

Jones is in the starting lineup today.
