00:00There's a real conversation around Anthony Volpe right now, and I think it's a significant...
00:03Because he's getting on base!
00:04He's getting on base, he's having good at-bats.
00:07Now, I still think Caballero's going to be the starting shortstop when he comes back,
00:10but Anthony Volpe's earning a spot on this team, and with third base being an absolute
00:14albatross around the team's neck with what McMahon's doing, I could easily see a combination
00:19of McMahon and Caballero playing shortstop in third.
00:22Like, that's plausible to me with what McMahon's given you.
00:26Caballero can play multiple positions.
00:28You put Anthony Volpe at shortstop a couple days a week, you put Caballero at third base
00:32a couple days a week, you could put Caballero in a corner outfield spot a couple days a week.
00:38That's how they view Caballero.
00:39That was the plan going in.
00:41He's that guy who plays multiple positions.
00:43With the way Anthony Volpe has played here, hitting over .300, getting on base...
00:46Well, he's got seven walks in five games.
00:48No, he's crazy.
00:49I mean, to me, that's what you want to see.
00:51For a guy that's struck out a lot, way too much, Anthony Volpe having some patience at
00:56the plate, he gets...
00:58Even the game you know hits, he had three walks.
00:59Yeah.
01:00Right?
01:00He had seven walks in the Mets series.
01:02Seven.
01:03Seven walks in the five games he's played.
01:04Yeah.
01:05Like, that's a guy that's getting on base.
01:07That's a guy that's getting on base.
