Christian

I don't think with his defensive ability and his athleticism and his power, you don't need him to hit 260, 270.

Can I get 230, 240 and not be Joey Gallo?

Because I'm hearing that name in comparison to Spencer Jones, and that's scary as a Yankee fan.

Because Joey Gallo had a couple 900 OPS seasons before he got here, and then what happened to him once he got here?

Now, what does that mean he wasn't built for New York and not sabotage his whole career?

Well, we've seen guys like Sonny Gray not be great here and then reestablish themselves outside of here.

Well, that didn't happen with Joey Gallo.

So maybe Joey Gallo had a window in Texas and then the league caught up to him and that was it.

Can the Yankees even get a couple 900 OPS seasons or close to from Spencer Jones before it all bottoms out on him?

I don't know.

But then in his next two at-bats, what does he do?

Strikes out.

So you've seen it today from Spencer Jones, the power in the strikeouts.

You know, the thing with Spencer Jones that keeps everybody coming back is the power, the power, the power, the power, and the fact that he is a really good center fielder, the athleticism, the power in the athleticism, the ability to play center field.

And so maybe you think that you can slot right in the center field next year when Trent Christian finally takes a walk away from the New York Yankees.

Hopefully, because again, who the hell knows with this team?

So he can slide right in there, play great defense in center field, and hit 40 home runs.

But is he going to strike out at a 30%, 40% clip?

We don't know.

And today, I mean, yeah, Texas, Detroit wasn't throwing Verlander, Scooble, and Valdez at him, but he still showed the power in the strikeouts.
