Also, Pete, the point of him, the pressure, the pressure is going to be taken off of Anthony Volpe.

I think a healthy Anthony Volpe starting the season in AAA,

only adds more pressure to him.

Because now he has to come up right away and prove this.

And now he's had this elephant sitting on his shoulder for three weeks or a month or whatever it is that the Yankees have decided that he's not good enough to take his job back healthy.

And now...

I think he's going to be, to me, I think he's going to be pressing whether he starts on day one or day 40, whatever it is.

I think he's going to be pressing.

I think he's going to be pressing just that much more to prove that the Yankees were wrong by keeping him healthy while healthy in AAA.

That's my opinion.

I don't see it happening.

I need to see the Yankees actually do this before I believe that a healthy Anthony Volpe will be playing AAA games.

that an Anthony Volpe not on a rehab assignment will be playing AAA games.

I need to see that actually happen before I believe it because nothing the New York Yankees have done in the history of Anthony Volpe's career have proven that they will admit failure or do anything other than put Anthony Volpe at shortstop.

We've seen it now for three, four years.

Yeah.

Excuse me, three years that he's been here.

It's his job.

Heller High Water, he's playing shortstop.

They benched him for, what, a couple days last year, and it was right back to him.
