Former Atlanta Braves centerfielder Andruw Jones missed out, getting 66.2% of the votes, and his former teammate, Chipper Jones made sure to voice his displeasure on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanna ask all HOF voters one question\u2026 if Andruw Jones plays for the New York Yankees for 15 yrs with 10 GGs, 400Hrs, 1300 rbis\u2026is he a HOFer?\u201d Chipper Jones asked on X, formerly known as Twitter. \u201cLemme answer for you\u2026.first ballot! Time to have a conversation about HOFers chiming in. 75 living members can make sure it&#8217;s right!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andruw Jones is viewed as perhaps the best centerfielder of his time, and Ryan M. Spaeder pointed out that he had four seasons with at least 25 home runs and 25 defensive runs saved, while there are only two other seasons of that kind. Jones made sure to note that, saying, \u2018Pretty stout!&#8217; on X.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related Atlanta Braves NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Interestingly, Jones did have a stint with the Yankees in 2011 and 2012, which were the last two seasons of his career. In Chipper Jones&#8217; eyes, that was not long enough to secure enough goodwill with voters. Andruw Jones is most known for his 12 seasons with the Braves. He finished with 434 home runs, 1,289 RBI, and 62.7 WAR, according to Baseball Reference. That is the resume of a player who has a case to make the Hall of Fame. However, there is an argument against him as well, and there likely are some who did not vote for him due to being charged with domestic violence in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Jones is tracking to make the Hall of Fame as soon as next year, and has been for a while. He received 66.2% of the votes in his eighth year on the ballot, and there are no obvious Hall of Fame candidates joining the ballot for next year. Jones, along with Carlos Beltran (who received 70.3% of the votes), are trending toward getting the required 75% next year, and it would be a mild surprise if both do not get elected. Even then, Jones would have one more year on the ballot after next year.<\/p>\n<p>Chipper Jones might have to wait bit longer, but his former Braves teammate is trending in the right direction.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones firmly made clear that he believes Andruw Jones should be in the Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":28589,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Braves&#039;
