I Don’t Hate Anthony Volpe. I Hate What the Yankees Did to Him

Anthony Volpe came through with a huge moment, and let’s be clear: criticism is not hate.

I don’t hate Volpe. I don’t hate any Yankees player. I want the Yankees to put the strongest possible team on the field, and I want players used in roles that actually fit their skill set.

For years, the Yankees seemed determined to turn Volpe into something he isn’t: a power hitting shortstop. But when Volpe is at his best, he’s getting on base, using his speed, playing with energy, and finding ways to help the team win.

That’s the version of Volpe the Yankees need.

Huge moment for the kid. Happy for him. But the bigger point remains: the Yankees need to stop forcing players into roles and start maximizing what they actually do well.
