I like Jones, am not one focusing on his K numbers or anything, and am quite pleased to see him get hot of late.
But my slightly lesser view of him as a prospect is where he plays. He came up as a 3B. I don't think anyone here thinks he's going to play meaningful time there at the MLB level. Yet, that's still where he gets the bulk of his PT, with 30 games this year at 3B, 11 in the OF, and only 1 at 1B. As a 1B or OF, I think his prospect standing falls for a couple of reasons. For one, it's pure speculation how well he'll take to those newer positions. For another, some (though not nearly all) of the value of his bat was tied to him being slotted at 3B. We simply have better prospects who are likely to stick in the MIF/3B. So he falls a bit in that regard in my book.
As an OF, is he Chisenhall? Yippee, I guess? Naylor? Keep in mind Naylor is only a year older than he is and has been playing in the majors since he was 21.
