Here’s what people have been saying about Volpe recently:
@BronxBomberBall: “It may be time to start having a conversation about Anthony Volpe again. He’s doing nothing exceptional, but he’s doing exactly what we begged of him the last 2 years. Just not be an offensive boat anchor. OPS of almost .800 last 15 gm. His defense has looked better of late too.”
@yankeesondeck_: “Volpe being an absolute pest today at the plate and on the base paths and I love every second of it. Do this more often please.”
@ncostanzo24: “Anthony Volpe two hit inning and there are still no outs. This is fun”
@FourSavages: “Jose Caballero’s versatility in playing all around the diamond gives the Yankees far more flexibility. It also gives Anthony Volpe a chance to earn his shortstop job back”
@HoodieFrazier: “Volpe playing without any pressure to be Derek Jeter 2.0 is exactly the player we have been needing him to be”
