“I think it’s great when you come up and have the weekend he did where he gets his first hits and home runs and gets the nerves out of the way. I’m sure there’ll be a whole other level of excitement coming out here today but I feel he’s equipped to handle all of that.” MLB Pipeline had Dominguez rated No. 76 among prospects during midseason, one rung beneath fellow pinstripe prospect Spencer Jones, an outfielder at the Double-A level at Somerset.But the drumbeat has been as steady as Dominguez’s progress. And the Yankees needed to change the conversation. Badly. These days, at least, folks have stopped speculating about Boone’s job status. The driving emotion of anger from the fan base has been redirected, at least temporarily.
