Here’s what people have been saying about Volpe recently:
@BronxBmbrz: “Anthony Volpe is a solid baseball player, he’s had a bad few seasons but he’s fast and has the potential to hit well and is doing it right now”
@RobTheYankee: “If Volpe has respectable numbers at the end of the season, I’d be down keeping him but probably at 2B.”
Joe Randazzo: “Anthony Volpe didn’t have much room for failure but has played well since returning. He has a 112 wRC+ in 31 games. As the Yankees get closer to the deadline and guys start coming back from the IL, he’ll need to keep playing well.”
