Garrett Jones generating trade interest

Miami Marlins 1B/OF Garrett Jones is drawing trade interest, and was generating interest even before the Marlins' Michael Morse signing. According to reporter Joe Frisaro, Miami could keep Jones and use him as a reserve left-hand hitter at first base or in right field, but he will probably be dealt and some teams are interested.

Fantasy Impact:
His career .811 OPS against right-handers is pretty impressive, and he had a great campaign in 2012 as a Pirate with 27 HRs and a .832 OPS. Jones' power is the main draw for his services and it would do the Fish well to cash in on the 33-year-old during the final year of his contract. If he's traded, 1B Justin Bour would be the reserve lefty to Michael Morse.
