Much of the New York Yankees’ future depends on finding a place for shortstop candidate Anthony Volpe and letting him take the reins.

There seems to be an adjustment period for each Volpe do As both a Double-A and Triple-A, the New Jersey native and lifelong Yankee fan instinct is rated first-rate.

Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, and with great responsibility and NY geared to your hat… comes criticism. Ask his fans the last New Jersey-born Yankee he played for 20 years in the Bronx. If you are talented and have star quality, please do not The root of the team living under the bright lights will call you… overrated.

Apparently, so will league executives, according to an anonymous survey conducted this week by MLB Pipeline.

It’s hard to tell what to lead here, and whether to thwart or flatter Volpe supporters, but a poll of anonymous executives found that Yankees prospects It was named as the second most overrated minor leaguer after Henry Davis. Also awarded him the title of “highest baseball IQ”. envy? Lack of options? strange!

Yankees frontrunner Anthony Volpe has the highest baseball IQ in the minor leagues, but is the second most overrated? K.

Overall, Volpe said:

“Best Hitting Prospect” ranking 11th
Tie for 3rd in “Best Defensive Prospect” (9% share, tied with STL’s Masyn Winn)
1st place in “Best Baseball IQ” with an overwhelming 26% of the votes
Second place for “Most Overrated” with 10% of votes

Shockingly, Jason Dominguez — who takes great pleasure in calling every day Observers fail to magically transform into Mike Trout “overrated” — received votes but was not placed. I did.

It’s also important to note that the “overrated” segment was eventually removed from the above article after receiving significant backlash. Who put this together, Randy Miller?

It’s unclear if this is a backlash to Volpe’s pinstripes (which it usually is) or if the evaluator is a little too happy that the shortstop can’t repeat his amazing numbers from 2021 (2022). Although he was trending up sharply as the season of the year dragged on)..

Either way, Volpe’s impassioned assessment of coolness and anticipation is definitely difficult to parse. Some of them are published in this very same article. — and come out on the other side, deciding he’s overrated.

The Yankees are betting a lot that Volpe can approximate Derek Jeter’s influence on the next generation of Bomber greats, and have given him several freebies to give him a legitimate chance to change the culture. I’ve dodged Agent Shortstop Overture.

However, they also named Aaron Judge captain during Volpe’s tenure (likely) and kept Oswaldo Peraza in the system. . Let’s pray that doesn’t happen.
