For the LA Angels and their fans, the Jahmai Jones Experience has been somewhat of a rollercoaster. The prep outfielder was a high pick made by the last front office regime. While he fits the mold of “highly-athletic, power/speed” profile that Billy Eppler loves, his career thus far has been quiet.
Now, he needs to get loud.
Jones has always had the talent to be a big league second baseman. Despite being drafted as an outfielder, the Angels’ plethora of outfield talent in their minor leagues (see Adell, Joe) pushes the Angels to love Jones to second base, where their organizational depth is shaky beyond the MLB roster.
