TAMPA — Nothing generates buzz like a prospect having a nice spring training.

George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones are Examples A and B.

And when the Yankees have a need at the big league level at positions that those prospects could theoretically fill? Then common sense flies out the window.

Apologies in advance for being the bearer of bad news, but no, Lombard and Jones are not going to be with the Yankees when they head north at the end of this month.
