Anthony Volpe started his latest audition to make the Yankees’ roster with a bang.
AT&T SportsnetOswald Peraza drew the start at shortstop on Thursday, but manager Aaron Boone is getting each of the shortstop candidates time at other positions to make sure they get enough game reps while increasing their versatility.
Of course, spring training results can be misleading and will not be the only factor the Yankees consider when constructing their roster to bring north. “Hopefully we just know,” Boone said before the game when asked about finding the right guy in position battles. “But I don’t know if there’s a criteria or a checklist. Performance matters, but it’s not everything. You try not to get too bogged down with, ‘This guy hit .320 in spring.’ Hopefully you’re making the best decision moving forward as far as trying to project – in the short-term and in the long-term. There’s a lot of things that go into that evaluation.
“It may be that one guy just makes it very clear to all of us that it’s obvious. Performance in that certainly matters and is a thing, but you try not to get too carried away results-wise with the spring training stuff.”

When another wave of shortstops became available this winter, the Yankees once again sat out the chase.
