#5 — Adam Jones
Jones is likely to be a monthly name on this list. He is remarkably consistent. Jones finished the month of June hitting .292 on the season, and finished July at .291.
Over the month of July he hit seven home runs with 13 RBIs. An example as to how Jones can impact a game is his Friday night three-run shot that was the critical blow in getting the Orioles back into the game and ultimately into the lead and on to victory.
So again, it was not an incredible month, but it was a Jones sort of month. And that is better than most right now.
Jones seems to be struggling a bit to not be late on the fastballs and early on the breaking stuff. This has been true particularly since his injury. But we know that Adam is going to get past this and likely produce at an even higher level.
