Yankees’ Aaron Boone raves about young shortstop prospect, who could be the future

The New York Yankees have a big decision to make at shortstop this off-season after the lockout eventually ends, but the existence of one if not two stud infield prospects have thrown a wrench into their potential plans.

If there weren’t a few youngsters climbing the ranks at an impressive rate, the Yankees might be more willing to spend $300+ million on a 10-year deal for Carlos Correa. However, it doesn’t seem as if they are as intrigued by the option with Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe flying through their farm system.

Peraza has a bit more experience than Volpe and could get the first crack at the shortstop job, but skipper Aaron Boone provided rave reviews over the 20-year-old phenom out of New Jersey.
