More to come on Anthony Volpe, but Aaron Boone said he thinks the SS is ready, and that Volpe has communicated that. But with José Caballero playing well and Volpe still shy of a spring workload, "I don't think it hurts to have some more runway for [Volpe]," Boone said - Phillips

Boone also said Caballero "complicates" things a bit.

"José has earned opportunities and been a key part of our club and a part of our success here to start out the season, so that's part of it.

"One of the good things that's happened for us as a team through spring training and now in the early parts of the season, is we have a lot of really good players and depth and good players competing for important roles and spots on the club. José is part of that. Anthony, we expect, to be part of that as well.”

Boone on Volpe:

"He feels ready to go, and he's let us know that he feels ready to go whenever we grab him. I've spoken with him. Cash has spoken with him. We've had those conversations. But he absolutely feels like he's ready to go and contribute here." (More ...)

"But we'll ultimately make that decision when we think it's best for not only him, but for the club."
