How many shortstops did the Yankees pass on because Volpe was gonna be the man.? He is not the man.

Ken Rosenthal?

...... MLB insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic recently put Volpe in the conversation to start at shortstop for the American League in the All-Star Game next month.

But as good as Volpe has been in 2024, the AL has a pair of superstar shortstops in Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals and Gunnar Henderson of the East division rival Baltimore Orioles.

Despite not quite being at that level yet of Witt Jr. and Henderson, Rosenthal believes Volpe still deserves recognition as being one of the top shortstops in the AL.

indeed, Witt and Henderson are star players, star hitters, stara and main cogs on their teams.

Volpe has not been a great hitter, is…

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
