An MLB prospect expert believes New York Yankees Triple-A star Spencer Jones has a ton of potential. But he also believes the youngster could easily flop big time in the Bronx.

This week, Jasson Dominguez endeared himself to Yankees fans when he went all out to make a catch during a game against the Texas Rangers. In the process of making, probably, the best catch of his career, he sustained a low-grade left AC joint sprain in his knee and is expected to be sidelined for weeks.

To fill his spot on the roster, the Yankees are pulling the trigger on something New York fans have wanted to see for a couple of years: Top star Aaron Judge in the same outfield with stud prospect Spencer Jones. The pair of 6-foot-7 sluggers will now bookend the Yanks’ outfield for the foreseeable future.

Yankees fans have heard about Jones and his big power for the last few years. He has been a top prospect in their system and has been as close to untouchable as a minor leaguer gets for the franchise. The expectations are high as he joins a 26-12 team in a pennant chase.
