The Spencer Jones tolerance question Yankees…
TAMPA — What if you had a participant fall into the Venn diagram of Giancarlo Stanton’s energy, Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s pace and Ryan McMahon’s defensive potential?
Spencer Jones is challenged to attain that heady amalgamation because Major League Baseball is ridiculously onerous and he already is approaching his twenty fifth birthday in May with zero MLB at-bats and no clear concept when he’ll get No. 1.
But it’s a reminder of what is tempting about Jones — perpetual prospect and commerce candidate, because those three gamers not only present hints at his ability set, but also intensify that if you may have above-average major league instruments in sure areas, there might be a tolerance for uncomfortable strikeout charges.
Which will get us to a question I requested executives around the game — at what strikeout charge is Jones a tolerable participant if he brings the other expertise … and at what is he not? Can you live with him at Chisholm’s 27.9 p.c? McMahon’s 33.5? Stanton’s 34.2?
