I don't want to go crazy with numbers.
But I love all of the things that I'm seeing from Lombard.
He looks super confident at the plate.
But, you know, when you look at a player, he's playing a double-A game or a minor league game, you're like, this kid doesn't belong here.
Sure.
I kind of โ I felt that looking at him.
I'm like, I think it's time to move him up a level.
I wasn't saying call him up to big leagues because I think that the Yankees still need to โ there's something โ and I spoke to Jimmy about it.
There's something to โ
There's more veterans in AAA that you can learn from how to be a big leaguer from.
And I feel like teams have kind of been skipping AAA more.
Not skipping it, but like shortstop at AAA to bring up to the big leagues.
Then I feel like you miss that development that you get, that mental development at AAA.
And I think he's going to get that.
Now, Spencer Jones, his stuff is his strikeout rate, right?
He's got the power.
His defense, he's like a gazelle out there in the center field.
So he's got really good defense too.
And for how tall he is, great attitude too.
But his chase rate, swing and miss rate, it just is not, hasn't been that good and hasn't been improving.
