If you throw Jones in there, Jay is essentially done and you've cut out a spot where Beltran can play (as Jones is an everyday player). And if Beltran isn't playing much CF, Craig's not going to get nearly as much time in RF either. So by bringing in Jones, you've really limited the use utility of Jay and Craig, who are very nice players in their own right.
Frankly, Jones is going to cost someone like Miller or Martinez and I'm not willing to give them up. I'm still not convinced that Jones isn't overrated as hell.
Honestly, I'd rather have JJ Hardy. Better still, you guys feel like trading Zach Britton?
Maybe the O's are just entering the Oswalt fray or something.

They better not trade Zach Britton
