Re: Ronald Torreyes
Cristo Jesus de savior is now OPSing 1.047 in his first 8 games (5 Multi-hit) in the US. Has reached base in all 8 games. Props to OBM, found some pics of him and other Arizona league kids on http://fourseamimages.photoshelter.com/
Torreyes looks like a freaking bat boy. I am doing the honors and dubbing him Ronald "Raton" (Mouse) Torreyes. Here are some pics of Raton... http://fourseamimages.photoshelter.c...0009dZ7dG_1Wo8 Lol... Look at his helmet... http://fourseamimages.photoshelter.c...0009dZ7dG_1Wo8 http://fourseamimages.photoshelter.c...0009dZ7dG_1Wo8 http://fourseamimages.photoshelter.c...0009dZ7dG_1Wo8 http://fourseamimages.photoshelter.c...0009dZ7dG_1Wo8 http://fourseamimages.photoshelter.c...0009dZ7dG_1Wo8

Re: Ronald Torreyes
I am suprised that "Raton" isn't pulled by the fifth inning of every game in order to give him enough time to get home before being grounded.

Re: Ronald Torreyes
Photo of his follow through is nice. Great front side, torque and balance, and love the high level finish sans top hand. Back foot vs. strong front side shows he explodes very well into his swing.
If you forward through that whole sequence after Torreyes you come upon some photos of Kyle Waldrop. That's a great site.

Re: Ronald Torreyes
Well I've lost a lot of hope in Torreyes, but Waldrop reminded me of a young Colby Rasmus. Give and take I guess.

 Those first two pictures don't do him any favors.

Re: Ronald Torreyes
I wonder how much more power Torreyes could add once he fills out his frame/gets stronger?.....I really like his upside.
