If you woke up a day ago and said, "Well, who the hell is Jahmai Jones?" know that today he is on the New York Yankees. In the move to offer more stability to the team, the Yankees signed the infielder picking him up off waivers. Believe it or not, it's a solid move.

"The 26-year-old was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers last week, and the Yankees are taking a flyer on a prospect who has had some success at the Minor League level this past season. Jones hit 12 home runs in 103 games with a .413 OBP and 122 wRC+ in Triple-A for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers at the highest level of Minor League Baseball but has struggled in the big leagues."And so, what does it mean? It means depth, but more to that, it's just a solid move. You may look at this guy and think "Well, who is this guy?". I look at him and see a kid with a shot. When you have a shot, many times you shine... new environment, new team, a team that says, "We think you can help us." Like a Greg Allen, Jahmai Jones can help.
Small nugget today, but a good one if you're a Yankee fan.
