Jones -- who hit from the leadoff spot in 73 percent of his at-bats last season -- will move down in the batting order this year, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones batted second last night for Team USA and he hit from the two-hole in all six of his spring games with the Orioles. The newly-acquired Seth Smith is expected to take over the top spot in the lineup while all indications suggest Jones will slot in at No. 2 on the card when Opening Day rolls around. In 605 career at-bats as the second hitter, Jones owns a .291/.337/.479 slash line. Moving out of the leadoff spot should give the veteran center fielder a bump in RBI chances while enjoying the protection of Manny Machado looming in the on-deck circle during Jones' at-bats.
