Many thought Chipper Jones would not return this season.
But they were wrong when he came back from a serious knee injury to start the season. Now, they are going to be surprised when he comes back for next season.
Jones has announced that he will be returning to the Atlanta Braves next season. There was speculation that Jones would retire after this season.
"I’m playing next year," said Jones, who will make $14 million in 2012 in the final guaranteed year of a three-year, $42 million contract. "I still feel like I can go out there and play a good third base and be a threat, at least, at the plate. I’m having a good defensive year and the [batting] average is on the rise."
He has struggled to stay healthy, but he has produced when he's been in the lineup. He has a .271 batting average with 11 home runs and 55 RBI's in 92 games.
