because he has five tools. Because he brandished them under the glare of having to win a job this spring. Because every day in every way he looked as if he belonged.“Veterans feel the energy,” Willie Randolph said. “They like the enthusiasm. And teams sometimes need that.”
And Randolph, who has been in Yankee camp this spring as a special coach, sees the 21-year-old Volpe offering the same intangible to yet another veteran group.“I hate to compare to Jeter because right now there is no comparison,” Randolph said. “But I remember when I was one of the guys to go to bat for Jeter , one of the things I said was, ‘Hey, he is going to bring us some speed. He is going to bring energy. He brings youth and a different swag.’ Teams need that.
But where it matters most is in the games. The Yankees have lost in the playoffs, notably to Houston. And it is hard to ignore how much better the Astros are at playing baseball. The Yanks have kept putting the band back together around one note – righty power. And when that was defused, they had nothing else.
