Last month, Jones led the National League with 11 home runs and 29 RBIs, and for his efforts, has been named the National League Player of the Month for August. This is the second Player of the Month Award this season for Jones, who won for June."He should be the leading candidate [for MVP]," said pitcher John Smoltz. "No disrespect to the other guys. I think any time you tee up a season, Pujols is an MVP. But in this situation, if the season were to end today, the Atlanta Braves wouldn't be in first place without Andruw Jones.”
"My main concern is to go out there and win and prove to everybody that [even though] we have a young team, we're looking forward to [another division title] and getting back to the World Series," said Jones.
