Chipper Jones may be swinging a productive bat, but the future Hall of Famer still has any plans of putting hthose retirement plans on hold.
The 40-year-old Jones told David O'Brien of the Atlanta JC says a .320 batting average has given him no second thoughts about his plans to call it quits. "I'm ready to move on," said Jones, who apparently wants no part of being MLB's version of Brett Favre.
O'Brien notes that even if Jones wanted to reconsider retirement plans, it it would be a potentially awkward situation, given that the Braves are now selling ticket plans for the remainder of the season built around Chipper's farewell tour.
There also is the issue of whether the Braves would truly want Chipper back given his recent history of injury. At this stage, Atlanta seems content to move forward with Martin Prado as their third baseman in 2013.
