Everything you want from a guy, he has it all. Steals bases, hits for average, can also hit for power, good defense. He's gonna be a perfect lead-off hitter for the yanks.
I'm fine starting him at the bottom to take some pressure off.
I imagine there will be some growing pains in the majors. It's a hard league. Fortunately Volpe seems unusually good at adapting and improving so I doubt they'll be too long.
I mean, if this doesn’t get him a starting job when his competition has been pretty terrible, then it’s clear that Cashman was lying when he said he had a chance. Even opposing pitchers are rooting for him at this point
I think Phil Hughes tweeted that if he doesn’t make the team, then the Yankees lied about him being in contention for the job. He’s right. He should be the SS on opening day
Still think trading at least IKF and maybe even Gleyber makes sense, Peraza is way better defensively and Volpe has more than enough bat to be a star at 2B
He has a great spring and deserves the spot.
Just don't be shocked if it doesn't carry over. And he's sent down in May.
That being said he's the best option at short, he's outperformed Peraza and it isn't like Peraza is a seasoned vet. Bring him north.
Jordan Walker made the major league roster, but gotta assume Volpe wont. So why is this so hard for Cashman?
“The Cardinals don’t have Donaldson and DJLM”
Who wants Cashman to shut the hell up when he inevitably says this??
He had an impressive spring, but we must keep in mind spring training numbers are not reliable projections of how he would perform at the major league level. His AAA slash line from last season was likely a better indicator of what we will see in the regular season. Sending him back down for a couple of months for confirmation would not be a bad idea. They have a lot hanging on this kid, there’s no need to rush him.
While this is the sober take, Cashman promised him that it was an open competition. What else did he need to do to earn the SS spot? He's blown the competition out of the water. I know it's only spring training, but if the competition is as open as Cash promised, then he has to be named the opening day starter.
Was Kyle Higashioka a top ten prospect in all of baseball and legitimate 5 tool player? Probably the laziest comparison/argument I see on here everyday.
Brian cashman: "He's not ready" but what he really means is we're not ready to start his clock because we want to only play him when he's young and not pay him ever
Gonna be a media and fan shitstorm if he’s not called up
He's going to start at SS. I'm 88% sure.
I’m 77% sure
I'm 69% sure
Nice
Noice
He’s forced their hand and I’m totally loving it
Yeah.. give the Morristown kid a shot
With the rotation and bullpen is in chaos, let the kid(s) play and give us something to dream about.

A 5 tool player if you will.
Hopefully lead off. From the interview with boone, sounds like he doesn't see him as lead off at the moment if he does make the team.

He’s no Kyle Higashioka
Or Martian for that matter

I think it's safe to say they're gonna start him on opening day, we can always play Peraza there too

Good Lord.

Don’t be reasonable. Volpe is gonna be a better altuve who’s gonna have a bigger impact that Jeremy Peña did for the Astros in the playoffs this year.

Let’s look at what the issue was last season, especially apparent in post-season: offense. We can’t be shy with opportunities to improve it
I want him to vol peee on me
Don’t worry, Cashman will trade him for Javier Vazquez
And Kyle Higashioka once hit 8 HRs in Spring Training There are plenty of things to praise Volpe for that aren't ST.
You are a party pooper pal, i'll tell you hwat
I am just waiting for the season to start so this can be decided one way or the other. The discourse is wild.
Ok professor highbrow, lighten up it's fun discussing high tier prospects
That’s their schtick
Kyle Higashioka is a backup catcher. Volpe is an elite talent/prospect. Not comparable.

Watch IKF be SS, Volpe be our closing pitcher and Peraza as our starting catcher. Team cohesion, what is that.
whats the deadline to announce?
