Nolan Jones

You have a feel for him? What are your expectations going forward? He was once their top prospect, now around #5. Lots of raw power but comes with a high K%. Does have a decent BB rate. He's plahying because he was hot down in AAA and Gonzalez is on the IL. Not sure what they'll do when Gonzalez comes off the IL. Thoughts?

Jones wasn't so much hot as his first half merited a callup and there was a need (in terms of opening and spark) at the major league level. His HardHit% spiked, if he can keep it up, he should be able to overcome his K% so long as it stays below 30%. If he continues to hit, there are pathways to playing time.
