Before Monday’s game, Yankees legend David Cone spoke about Jones (via YES Network).
Cone: “We need to find out about Spencer Jones. He’s such a talent. The celling is so high that if he starts to get a little more comfortable and starts hitting home runs than maybe you could put up with the strikeouts… Everything else he does so well; he’s a great defender, he runs well, he’s fun to watch… He deserves a chance to find out what he can do on this level.”
Jones is now batting .250 with eight hits, three RBI’s and one stolen base in 13 games.
That said, he has struck out 16 times.
