I would like to see Peraza get a legit shot.
If he is traded before spring training, then Volpe.

I think IKF also provides insurance in case Donaldson is fried (which I believe to be true)… The only way I can see Donaldson regaining his batting stroke is by using illegal substances. Can't DJ play third? Doesn't Cabrera play everywhere? |

Volpe at 3B (also back-up to SS & 2B)
IKF back-up SS & 3B--bench (or traded)
DJ 2B --Backup 3B 1B
Cabrera -- who played 6 different positions in 2022 IN LF; or RF if Judge leaves plus back up to 1B 2B SS 3B & it might even be able tp Pitch (who Knows).
The above would be perfect for rebuilding quickly so that means = The YANKESS will NOT DO.
What I have seen so far this off-season with OUR team has been disappointing to say the least.

Anthony Volpe, 21, SS, NYY (AAA) (AA/AAA) 511 PA, 21 HR, 50 SB, .249/.342/.460 The Yankees aren’t expected to be active participants in the shortstop market this winter largely because Volpe and Oswald Peraza await in the wings. Peraza already has a successful 57 plate appearance stint in the Majors, albeit with worrisome exit velocities. Getting back to Volpe, he only has 99 plate appearances of experience in Triple-A and might merit further seasoning. He hit just .236/.313/.404 in the minor’s highest level, good for only a 91 wRC+. His swing is geared for extreme fly ball rates. As a result, his batting average might play below his raw tools. If he continues hitting over 50 percent fly balls, he profiles as a future 40-homer threat as he ages into more strength. Initially, he might frustrate with too many softly hit flies and pop-outs. There’s also potential for him to tighten up his launch angle to sacrifice a few home runs for better outcomes on average. Volpe has multiple pathways to superstardom. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/12/big-hype-prospects-rodriguez-volpe-mervis-bae-macko.html |

Volpe A’s route to MLB is probavly at 3rd base… nothing wrong with that… |

Nothing wrong with Volpe at 3B = But Donaldson has to go bye-bye... The Yankees will first give Donaldson the chance to (continue to) flail and fail. Volpe can only use the seasoning to gain confidence and hone his skills… I’d love to see him play some 3B In AAA… |

Volpe wants the SS job right out of spring training. Trade Peraza! I believe Volpe's father was correct. Take a month and give your body a chance to reset. Now, Cashman screws that up, and watch Volpe pull an oblique muscle training too hard. There is a definite problem when highly regarded AAA players have to be TOLD by the general manager that they have a chance to make the major league ball club out of Spring Training. Shouldn't it be a given that targeted big league prospects have a chance to make the majors, instead of Cashman providing an imprimatur of "Now, we are ready for you to make the team"? Does anyone recall players of thirty to fifty years ago injuring an oblique? The offseason was to heal, not to get in shape. For goodness sakes, you just finished a pre-season, 162 game regular season, and two playoff series. Do players get out of shape during the actual season, always resting and jogging to first base? |

I didn’t know we had obliques 30-50 years ago. I thought they evolved maybe 20 years ago…😏 |
