Here’s what people were saying about Volpe on Wednesday:
@VirginiaYankee1: “Good to see. Volpe doesn’t need to be what we hoped he would be to provide value.”
@Fab0o0o: “Maybe Voloe boosts his stock a little so we can trick a team into trading for him so we can finally be outta the Volpe business”
@AdamWeinrib: “I understand Volpe less and less by the day”
@volpe_forever: “I’m ready to move on from Volpe as much as anyone but for those who asked why Volpe is in and not jones, this is why. Volpe is fine against LHPs; jones is an auto out vs them on a team with a plethora of OFs Let’s use our brains for a change.”
@C_R_Enn: “Volpe looks so promising sometimes. Wish this guy could become consistent hitting these type of line drives”
