His five stolen bases put him tied for sixth on New York\u2019s roster.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees are 7-3 in games Caballero plays, including each of their three wins over the weekend against the St. Louis Cardinals.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Is Jose Caballero \u2018A Pest?\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Caballero plays the game hard, and at 5-10 and 190 pounds, he is committed to having an impact on games bigger than his stature.\u00a0He wears Warren\u2019s assessment as a badge of pride, since he loves getting under opponents\u2019 skin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt makes me feel really good because that\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do,\u201d Caballero told NJ.com. \u201cI\u2019m trying to make them hate me. I don\u2019t want them to like me. I\u2019m just trying to mess with them.<\/p>\n<p>Caballero realizes his value in stealing bases, playing solid defense and putting pressure on the opponents. This was manifested when he sped down the line on a little dribbler in the ninth inning Sunday, forcing Cardinals second baseman Thomas Saggese to throw errantly for an E4.<\/p>\n<p>That play led to a four-run frame in what was New York\u2019s 8-4 win that capped a sweep.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want them to have the full attention on what they\u2019re doing and rather a little more attention on me to try to hate me,\u201d Caballero said.<\/p>\n<p>Yankees manager Aaron Boone has seen both sides of the Caballero hate train. Yankees fans certainly will remember when Gerrit Cole waggled his finger at Caballero after striking him out \u2014 when the then-Seattle Mariners infielder brought up Cole potentially violating the pitch clock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve yelled at him when he was an opponent,\u201d Boone said Sunday. \u201cHe knows that. I couldn\u2019t stand him playing against him and now he\u2019s turning into one of my favorite players.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What Did The Yankees Say About Having Jose Caballero As A Teammate?<\/h2>\n<p>At this point, the Yankees are almost in lockstep in their assessment of Caballero.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a baseball player, man, and to me that\u2019s the biggest compliment you can give someone,\u201d third baseman Ryan McMahon said. \u201cThat guy is a ballplayer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told him I hated playing against him because you can see his speed,\u201d Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt said. \u201cHe\u2019s made a difference. He\u2019ll come off the bench and steal bags and he can play shortstop and play outfield. He\u2019s a really valuable asset for us and can do it in so many different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boone echoed Goldschmidt\u2019s appreciation for Caballero\u2019s ability to play all over the diamond.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6BXDASTCCFCQNNNJH5LGPESZZU\">\u201cI don\u2019t know about old school, new school, now school,\u201d Boone said. \u201cHe\u2019s a good player. I like good players.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cTo be able to defend the way he does at a number of positions \u2026 He provides something offensively. There\u2019s some patience up there at the plate. He can play the short game and he\u2019s obviously really electric on the bases.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pat Pickens is an experienced sports writer and media personality who has written for outlets like NHL.com, the Associated Press, the New York Times and USA Today.
