00:00I think that if there is one thing that has held the Yankees back more than any other
00:06from winning a championship since 2009 is all these guys that Brian Cashman thought
00:12were going to turn into great homegrown players have not.
00:16And yesterday is a good example of two more that get set down in Anthony Volpe and Jason Dominguez.
00:23Now, Dominguez still has more upside than I think Volpe has.
00:26We may never see Anthony Volpe again after what we saw this year, but you can just go
00:32down the list of guys who were supposed to be spectacular for them.
00:37Aaron Judge has been.
00:39Many others have not.
00:41I mean, from Greg Bird to Gary Sanchez, I know that Gleyber Torres was a trade, but still
00:47he was a guy who was a young guy expected to do a lot.
00:50He completely fell off.
00:52Volpe now, Dominguez, Clint Frazier.
00:55I mean, you could just go on and on with these guys where Brian Cash was like, we're
00:59holding on to this guy.
01:00Volpe, we're holding on to this guy.
01:02How many times are like, no way, no how is Anthony Volpe going to be involved in a trade?
01:08We are not trading that guy.
01:09So then you expected him to come up and be close to Derek Jeter if we were gripping onto
01:14him with your cold, dead hands.
01:16He couldn't go anywhere.
01:18And now he did go somewhere.
01:20Back down into the minor leagues because he couldn't cut it.
