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.

Here’s what people were saying about Jones recently:
@MVJUDGE99: “Spencer jones is literally useless against high velo. When Dominguez comes back jones needs to get sent down immediately”
@Yanksland: “Spencer Jones might actually not see the minor leagues again. Literally, what huge asset this man can be if he can play to what he is capable of”
@JoseChalas12: “Spencer Jones, he has to start showing something . He is striking out at a 50% rate. Not acceptable.”
@NYJfan841: “The Yankees are the worse organization in baseball for developing prospects, the latest being Spencer Jones. He goes 3 for 3 in his first game up and then they bench him for a few games and bring him back vs a top pitcher. Just setting him up for failure. Pathetic.”
