Entirely due to his arm, not his range. Jones is not a bad player, he just isn't sucking up all the other outfielders chances with his range.
I respectfully disagree. I can only comment in depth on the O's because I watch them regularly, but Jones is constantly catching balls in front of his COFers. Buck's preferred OF alignment (which drives me nuts), is to play his COFers well off the lines ("everything down the line is gonna be a double anyway") so there's much more overlap than there needs to be between Jones and the other OFers. Jones definitely misses opportunities by playing too shallow though.
