Is Spencer Jones a Worthy Stash Option Following Demotion?
New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones was quickly sent back to Triple-A following his brief MLB debut. Jones appeared in 10 games for the Bronx bombers and went 4-for-24 with a 12:3 K:BB and no extra-base hits. Jones was called on as a bench replacement and was unable to carve out a significant role in the Yankees' outfield. However, in hopes of giving him every day at-bats, the Yankees sent their outfield prospect back to the top club in the system. Through 34 games at Triple-A, Jones has posted a .262/.377/.615 slash line with a dominant .992 OPS. During this stint, the slugger has launched 12 home runs, swiped seven bags, but has struck out a rather high 46 times. While his high whiff tendencies do hurt his profile, his raw power is among the best in the minor leagues. Fantasy managers in deeper five-outfielder leagues should continue to monitor his status with Triple-A, as he could be in the mix for a longer stint during his next promotion. For now, given his lack of a clear path, he holds low-end stash upside in Week 9.
