Cashman sure does send mixed messages. We hear about his phone call to Volpe to say he has a legit shot at the SS job coming out of spring training yet he would give Peraza any kind of chance last season when he was clearly more talented than IKF.

We hear about his phone call to Volpe to say he has a legit shot at the SS job coming out of spring training yet he would give Peraza any kind of chance last season when he was clearly more talented than IKF. Other than Judge, Peraza was the last of the guys hitting who were healthy. Instead, Pereza rides the bench until IKF gets the yips with the glove during the playoffs. I still cannot believe they allow IKF to double-clutch. My sister's partner was a three-time all-American at USL in softball, and she told me anything like that was drilled out of infielders before games began. Her coach was a legend. To me, that is just common sense. I had to drill point guards in basketball to step toward an outlet pass to receive it and then turn, square, and look upcourt for a pass to a score before ever putting the ball on the floor with the dribble. Anytime they half-assed it, they were removed from the court during a game or in practice. It did not take them long to commit it to memory and then to an unconscious reaction in order to stay on the floor. Coaching can make a difference, especially in the little things that win games over a course of the season with easy buckets and eliminating turnovers in transition. |

Despite hitting .429 during Spring Training and playing flawless defense, Volpe starts the season at AAA, where he goes into a 1-32 slump. Though he hits .295 the next 150 at bats, the Yankees keep him in AAA for the remainder of the season with a call up when rosters expand to 28.
Peraza starts the season at shortstop but in the third game of the season tweaks a hamstring trying to nab an errant throw to second base from Gleyber Torres. Though the throw was awful, Gleyber is not assigned an error. Instead, Peraza gets charged because he was able to contort his body and the ball just touched the webbing of his glove.
Peraza is placed on the IL, and IKF is given the shortstop position for the remainder of the season. Cashman is quoted as saying about IKF, "We like his moxie and our metrics tell us he's one of the top six defensive shortstops in the game." While on the IL, Peraza suffers an oblique injury in the batting cage, then tweaks an ankle, tripping on a tractor tire that Stanton uses to hit with a sledgehammer. When Peraza comes off the IL, he is assigned to AA to get back into game shape and is pulled up to AAA for a week, subbing at shortstop, second and third base. Peraza then becomes the roving infielder in a role that IKF was supposed to inhabit.
During the season, Cashman makes a move, trading a AA long-relief pitcher who is lights out but does not throw over 93 mph for a career cup-of-coffee/AAAA, defense-first infielder from the Reds. Cincinnati converts the reliever to a starter and brings him up to the big club a month later and stays in the rotation for the rest of the season, with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.039 WHIP. Cashman is quoted later regarding the trade, "We traded a pitcher we liked who was blocked for a major league ready defensive player who can play all infield positions." Two weeks later, the Yankees release the infielder after he asks to be traded and no other teams make an offer.
