In Part 3 of our continuing series breaking down how the Yankees should navigate the offseason position by position, we stop at second base with two pertinent questions: 

1. What did the Yankees learn from the Jazz Chisholm Jr. experience? 

2. Will being a regular second baseman allow Anthony Volpe to flourish (here comes the key part) in New York? 

Chisholm’s 2 ¹/₂ seasons as a Yankee felt akin to Stephon Marbury’s five seasons as a Knick — he was too talented not to fill up a boxscore and intersperse the spectacular. But it too often felt counterproductive to winning. It was showy, but not always sage. It reflected better on highlight reels than the scoreboard. If you looked at nothing but the numbers, you saw a better player than if you watched the games and saw him aimlessly wandering around with a defensive play in motion or getting picked off while fiddling with a sliding glove.
