\u201cYou got a 36-year-old catcher preparing to DH today, and then his world gets a little rocked an hour and a half before the game that he\u2019s not going to be DHing,\u201d first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino said. \u201cCredit to Salvy today for being ready, first and foremost.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jensen admitted that there was \u201ca lot\u201d to learn from his blunder, saying that he will be setting \u201ca million alarms\u201d to get up early for day games.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot to learn from it. Making sure if I don\u2019t set one alarm, maybe set three, four, as many as possible,\u201d Jensen said. \u201cMoving forward, that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do. Set a million alarms. Make sure I\u2019m up. It stinks, though.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jensen is Kansas City\u2019s top prospect, according to MLB.com, and briefly saw the big-league diamond last year, when he put up an impressive slash line of .300\/.391\/.550, with six doubles and three home runs in 20 games.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
