 Doug Jones - Addict Baseball and Football Forum
CLEVELAND -- Somebody once referred to reliever Doug Jones as "the Sultan of Slow," and the nickname might be a good description of the closer who, for 16 seasons, tied Major League hitters in knots with changeups that were slow, slower and slowest.
"Jones threw the screwball in 1985 and '86, but he didn't throw it more than once in a while the rest of his career," wrote Bill James and Rob Neyer in their book, "The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers." "His stock in trade was keeping hitters off stride with slow, slower, and even slower changeups."
During his career, Jones recorded 20 saves or more eight times, and his 43 saves in 1990 set what at the time was the franchise record.
