00:00He cannot be the everyday shortstop for the New York Yankees.
00:03I don't care what he does in 10 days.
00:04And this is a moment of testing for Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman
00:08because many of us have said that the Yankees feel different this year
00:12in terms of the way they're operating,
00:13that they're operating on a much more serious level.
00:16The fact that they allowed Volpe to remain in the minor leagues
00:19once he was eligible to come off the injured list
00:21or ready to come off the injured list
00:23was one of the signs that we've seen that the Yankees are operating differently.
00:27If that's going to continue, then I don't care what Anthony Volpe does in 10 days.
00:31The moment Jose Caballero is healthy, he's the shortstop.
00:35I think it would set a horrible precedent,
00:38and I think it would cause Yankee fans to go back to not trusting Boone and Cashman,
00:42which some of them don't even do right now.
00:44I'm sure there's many people listening right now who are like,
00:46I don't believe Aaron Boone.
00:47This is what they've been waiting for,
00:48Anthony Volpe to reclaim his spot as the prince of the New York Yankees
00:52and be the shortstop.
00:53I think it sets a terrible precedent for Volpe to be the shortstop.
00:56Now, what you said is very different.
00:58If Anthony Volpe performs in the next 10 days,
01:01does he have the right and the wherewithal to remain on this roster,
01:05let's say, instead of Max Schumann,
01:07and Volpe remains here as a backup utility infielder,
01:10which is what he should be anyway?
01:11Absolutely.
01:13There's nothing wrong with that.
01:14That's the thought process.
