I want to preface this article by making a statement on managing expectations. It was well advertised that Isiah Kiner-Falefa, or any other shortstop acquired this past winter, would be a stopgap shortstop till one of the Yankees’ star prospects, Oswald Peraza or Anthony Volpe, are major league ready. Our own John Griffin wrote just last week that when we put IKF’s expectations into context, he has been exactly what we thought he would be. The idea of a stopgap idea was pushed out hard in the media during the offseason and it’s important to remember that.
