Fiveohnine 1,507 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 He's playing. Aaron Boone said there was a typo on the board somewhere in the stadium. Hitting 9th playing 2B. Link to post Share on other sites

svtballa 101 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Anyone else feel like this guy isnt getting enough love? all I see and read about is Acuna/Vlad JR/Soto. Yet this guy has been amazing since being brought up. Link to post Share on other sites

Yet this guy has been amazing since being brought up. I'm with ya. The kid's a natural-born hitter (good fielder too, actually). And as for 'love', his numbers will eventually become impossible to ignore in any 'top rookie' discussion. Link to post Share on other sites

Yet this guy has been amazing since being brought up. I agree. As an Acuna and Vlad Jr owner, I admit I'm guilty of it myself. I thought Gleyber would just be bench support for me this year with hopes for keeper value down the road, but he just keeps producing. Pleasantly surprised! Link to post Share on other sites

People put it in their heads that Andujar would be more valuable and can't accept the truth. Torres is a very special player. Link to post Share on other sites
Router 37 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 ...and he just drilled his 2nd of the nite. 428 ft. to center. Link to post Share on other sites

absknicks 3,007 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 He won the AFL MVP as a 19-year-old. Takes a special talent to do that. I was really surprised at how far he dropped on some prospect lists coming into the season, even with the injury in mind. Link to post Share on other sites
bigbluecrew56 2,648 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Torres eventually has to be bumped up in the order. Would be awesome to see him hit second followed by Judge, Stanton, and Sanchez. Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainObvious 25 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Yankees are playing Whack-A-Mole right now. One gets hot, another cools off. If Didi gets going while Torres is still hitting well, this will be a fun team to watch. Link to post Share on other sites

dicka24 446 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 This kid is way better than I was lead to believe. It's odd cuz he was a consensus top 5 MLB prospect, yet it seemed like the projections from most pundits seemed to be a .275 hitter with 15 home run power, and 15 SB potential. Solid numbers, but not exactly what you'd think from a top 5 prospect. If what we're seeing is legit, and not just a hot stretch, then this kid is a Lindor like talent at the MLB level. The hit tool is impressive. More so than advertised. Link to post Share on other sites
AHF 140 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Another bomb. They have to move him up the lineup at some point here. Wasting his production by taking away plate appearances at the bottom of the lineup. Link to post Share on other sites

jahweedum 326 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Gleybomb Torres - I figured dual eligibility in that lineup made for a good bench bat, this is a nice bonus so far Link to post Share on other sites
