Volpe has been a very hot topic among Yankees fans this season.
In a recent episode of BT Unleashed, Brandon Tierney was joined by Gary Sheffield Jr.
Sheffield Jr. believes that despite Volpe’s flaws, he could end up having a long career in the MLB.
Sheffield Jr.: “I think he’s going to be one of those guys, I saw that you get 10 years of service time, right? He’s one of those guys where you’re like, man, how did he stick around for a decade? And you still have to be a good baseball player to do that. I think Volpe will be around a decade… Not with this team… Anthony Volpe will be a second baseman.”
While Sheffield Jr. doesn’t believe that Volpe will stick with New York, it’s an intriguing prediction that he thinks Volpe will have a long career.
After winning a Gold Glove as a rookie (and reaching the World Series in his second year), Volpe has been unable to live up to his big expectations.
