Orioles outfielder Adam Jones, who played in all 162 games in 2012, joked to reporters on Friday that he's going after Cal Ripken Jr.'s record of 2,632 consecutive games played.
It's certainly encouraging in this day and age to see a player's desire to be in the lineup everyday. Jones even worked harder this offseason to strengthen his lower body to better hold up over the grind of the MLB season. When asked about it, O's skipper Buck Showalter didn't completely rule out this possibility, but made it sound very unlikely that Jones would appear in every game in 2013.
