| Miami, FL (Best E Casino) - The Florida Marlins designated outfielder Jacque Jones for assignment following Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

The veteran was acquired by Detroit last November in a deal that sent infielder Omar Infante to the Chicago Cubs. Jones had spent two seasons with the Cubs aft |

But he's been the answer to that and much more for surprising Florida, and after a two-homer, 3-for-4 game in Florida's 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night, he's batting .296 with 14 home runs and 39 RBIs. So far in June, he's hitting .432 with 13 RBIs in 11 games, settling in perfectly at the third spot in the Marlins' power-packed batting order. And at this point, he's either mat |
