Re: Ronald Torreyes
Ronald Torreyes is always white-hot. A scout was once astonished after he swung and missed, only to realize the bat had in fact burnt to ash in his bare hands.

Re: Ronald Torreyes
I'm pretty sure major league organizations are not in the business of bringing over prospects illegally, therefor he has nothing to worry about.

Re: Ronald Torreyes
I think that was more a comment on Arizona's new racial profiling law.

Re: Ronald Torreyes
I know where it was directed at, but rather than turn it into a pointless political debate, I thought I'd point out the stuipity of the statement if taken at face value.

Re: Ronald Torreyes
Torreyes' size suggests he's not a middle-of-the-lineup hitter. I think the most optimistic outcome to hope for is Brian Roberts.

Re: Ronald Torreyes
The way he has walked alot more then he strikes out the numbers so far remind me of Joe Morgan. With his build and extra base numbers.

Ben Badler on Ronald Torreyes:
OnBaseMachine @BenBadler You have any reports on #Reds prospect Ronald Torreyes? He's interesting. Not a big tools guy, but good hitter, surprising pop for his size http://twitter.com/BenBadler

Re: Ronald Torreyes
Not much on tools from the number of extra base hits and SBs it looks like speed is a good tool. And seems to have a good eye at the plate

Re: Ronald Torreyes
Chances are Ben had never heard of him, went to MiLB.com, looked at his number and size and formed a quick eh opinion.
He defiantly knows how to handle a bat and has lots of success as a amateur ballplayer. Defiantly someone I am excited to see develop.
