'Game Of Jones' Buy Or Sell: Pastrnak Will Remain With Bruins Rest Of Season
BOSTON (CBS) - It was a "Buy or Sell" Monday night on The Adam Jones Show's Game of Jones!
Rich Keefe hit Jones with the following topics around the world of sports:
- Buy or Sell: Sunday's Patriots-Packers game was a Super Bowl preview
"I buy it, mainly because this was my pick when the year got going. Is Green Bay a slam dunk to get out of the NFC? Of course not... and I'd say the same thing about the Patriots in the AFC. But they've consistently been the two best teams, and they're battle-tested. We're talking about teams who have some championship pedigree, or championship caliber quarterbacks, and I trust that in the postseason.
"I think they're both in good spots and both playing well, so I'll buy that what we saw [Sunday] in Lambeau is a Super Bowl preview."
- Buy or Sell: Jon Lester will sign with a team this week
"I sell that," said Jones. "Buster Olney had an interesting theory that Lester is the guy on the pitching market that will set things off. Once he signs expect a flurry of trades, James Shields will sign, expect everything to fall into place... I buy into that, but I just don't think this is the week; [Lester] has met with San Francisco, met with Atlanta, met with the Red Sox and various other teams as well. I don't expect this to come to a head this week, and I still don't expect him to sign back with the Red Sox."
- Buy or Sell: Jonas Gray will get multiple carries again this season
"I will buy that he will get multiple carries. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets multiple carries in all of those AFC East games those last three games of the year. They may have just about everything sewed up, and that feels like Jonas Gray time for me."
- Buy or Sell: David Pastrnak will remain with the Bruins the rest of the season
"I buy that he is up for good... The Bruins have trouble scoring, which has been apparent. They have been really struggling as of late and need help on the power play. [Pastrnak] had seven shots (Friday against the Jets) so he's getting opportunities with Bergeron and Marchand. I don't think hes going back to Sweden or the AHL, and assuming the Bruins don't make a blockbuster trade -- which isn't in Peter Chiarelli's DNA -- I think they're going to have to lean on his for scoring."
- Buy or Sell: Cyber Monday is the best name for Monday
"I don't know how you top it, but I sell it. How about 'Munch your face off on the couch Monday, and order crap online.' Cyber Monday almost sounds dirty."
