What ails Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe? | Baseball Night in NY | SNY

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
