Anthony vulpes not lived up to
the Expectations by any stretch your to in The Bigs and while most of his numbers
are slightly better than his rookie year power numbers way
down and overall just been way too inconsistent Emanuel does v
b need to be sent down to AAA for a little bit of a reset. I
think this is a ridiculous Topic in general the idea that
they would send him down a triple. I like this is one of
the best players on their team and you're in a neck-and-neck
division race, like I understand he hasn't hit to
his fullest potential in the Yankees. Hope that gets
better and more consistent over the
next few years, but this is like this Accounting one side of the ball
like if the Jets have a great offense right here. We're going
to Discount their defense all together Anthony vulpes the best
defensive shortstop in baseball removing all he's not no, he's
nice. He is he's not better than lenders. I'm the best in
town. Let alone the best of baseball. He is the best
defensive shortstop in baseball. We're moving in from
the field does way more harm than good. I understand that that isn't great but removing
him from diferent. That's the most important position on
the field and he's the best defensive shortstop in the
league. By the way while we may disagree on where he ranks
defensively I do agree. This is a ridiculous conversation. Where did this come from? Because I'll take it a day all
for getting him reset a little bit in that regard. Sure. Where
did catch me after we pull a who's seriously, I'm serious. Where
did they come from? That's exactly what I was thinking when
we're talking about this. Are you see the headlines?
You're like wewe I'm looking at the style lines and I'm like,
okay, his stolen bases are going to match his home runs are
down. His strikeout percentage is way down from last season. He's still a part
of this team. Why would you send him down? That would be the
worst thing you could do to this kid. He's a part of who they are. He's a
part of Their identity right now and I'm
thinking to myself. I must have missed something. He must
have done something or something must have happened for
us to even be talking about this that's preposterous to
think about sending that kid down. Well, this is what happens when
you have an idea as a writer you call a GM you get a flashy
headline and now everyone's talking about it. But you know,
it's August that it's kind of a slow time right? We're not
really into the pennant races and we already have the trade deadline. I agree with all
of you. I mean sending Anthony Volpe down is
ridiculous. Not only is the message that sends to in the
clubhouse in the middle of a pain. It has a manual point out. But
also what you're going to do this this kids confidence. Every
time you have a bad stretch, you know, look over
your shoulders the Yankees going to send you to AAA not to
mention who's coming up. That's better than Anthony vocally in
AAA. Well, that's why that's why I thought the idea of
sending him down is ridiculous. But let's not
pretend that Anthony Volpe. I mean, he has been terribly
disappointing for now two straight years,
which makes me think maybe he wasn't ready to contribute at
the big league level the way that they expected him to
contribute. He's not supposed to be A 2009 hitter like he was a year ago. What is it? What is V you talked about his
glove? Okay, fine. Well, I could find on the shortstop's
a complete defense. What is Anthony Volpe offensively
because Emanuel to start the year. I started saying that
this guy is ready to take off and it was on the verge of
superstardom ranking Volpe. So judge the best
one to three in all of Major League Baseball even ahead
of what the Dodgers had and V be obviously has fallen
off you look at his numbers the last three months. What is
he as an offensive player right now and sure he could Better and grow Leaps and
Bounds, but he's somewhere between what he was last year
and what we saw this year at his best, which means if he goes
on a hot streak here like Boone was saying on John-Boy,
what does he have? A 7:20, 7:30 old PS with the elite defense,
which as he said is a pretty darn good baseball player right siding. It's somewhere
between there and he's still an incredibly young player. So
he makes the adjustment in the offseason. He levels out his
swing the league of just back to him. This happens over and
over again is Volpe can adjust back now
time will tell right but setting him down in a A pennant
race makes no sense to me, especially when you have no
Solutions offensively. What if I told you the Yankees could
have had a 23 year old in his second year in the league who
happens to be an elite infielder Gunner
Henderson from Baltimore. They drafted Volpe before Gunner
Henderson. He was a guy that was on the Yankees radar. So
it's not impossible to come up in the big leagues and succeed
Gunnar Henderson is absolutely proof of that. So I know he can make excuses. He's
a young player. He's got to adjust things like that. He's not the only one doing it
other players have done it and all he has to do is look Across
the field or look up in the standings depending on the
day and look at what Gunner Henderson has done in Baltimore
the development. The minor leagues is so important and
you're seeing that right now, right? He skipped you did not
spend as much time in the minor leagues. And so what's he going to do? He's
going to come up and do his very best, but he missed some of
that development. So right now he's trying to almost work
backwards to get back to the point where he showed you
with the bat. The defense is
there I think he's going to be fine,
but he's having to learn at the big league level against
big-league pitching. There is a huge jump going for
the minor leagues to the big leagues when it comes to
pitching and you're just seeing that that right now for
