Yankees shortstop Jose Caballero has expressed a desire to stay at shortstop, despite manager Aaron Boone stating that Anthony Volpe will soon return from offseason left labrum surgery. Caballer has played 30 of the Yankees' first 31 games, 20 of them victories. Despite this, Caballo's fielding and defensive numbers are considered better than Volpe's and career numbers. Despite his desire to play anywhere, if shortstop is the only open position, he could potentially play a game a week. Cabalero's defensive rating is a plus-1, while Volpe’s last season was a minus-6, and his fielding percentage is.968.
