Following today’s game in Tampa, the Yankees made a few more roster moves. Sadly, the Volpe call-up and announcement that he’ll be the starting shortstop comes at the expense of Oswald Peraza. Raza is the Yanks’ No.2 ranked prospect in the system but will begin the year in AAA Scranton. He was called up last season and hit the cover off the ball, Volpe just outperformed him this spring and did enough to win the job.
