The Orioles didn’t qualify for the playoffs this year, but Adam Jones will get to experience more of the postseason.

Not the way that he did in 2012. Not as a center fielder.

Jones will serve as a guest studio analyst for MLB Network during the month of October, joining Raul Ibanez, Mark Teixeira, Mark DeRosa and longtime broadcaster Ken “Hawk” Harrelson.

Harrelson will be the first guest analyst on “MLB Tonight” with a two-night stint beginning Friday. Did anyone tell him that the White Sox weren’t playing?

Jones will make his debut during the League Division Series on Oct. 6-7. Teixeira will appear on Oct. 8-9, followed by DeRosa on Oct. 10-11.

Ibanez will work the League Championship Series on Oct. 15-16.

Jones just tweeted, “Guess I’ll have to get a haircut soon.”

Don’t forget the shaving cream pies.

This should be interesting.

Also, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is a finalist in two categories in the Players Choice Awards.

Davis, Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera and Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw are vying for Player of the Year. Davis, Cabrera and Angels outfielder Mike Trout are vying for the American League’s Outstanding Player.
