ANDRES TORRES RUMORS
PECOTA and the Mets: No Home Runs For You!
Caught this on MetsBlog, it’s a chart of the Mets PECOTA projections for the 2012 season. Brace yourself because it’s not too pretty…
This was originally posted on Baseball Prospectus and my buddy, who is big on this stuff, tells me he anxiously awaits these PECOTA projections every year at this time. I tried to see if they had any other Mets players, but for some...

Ankiel shows growing trend of passing on Mets...
If Andres Torres is nothing more then a 5th outfielder then the Mets would be a perfect place for a player coming off a down year to come and rehab his reputation, but Ankiel is just another in a growing list of players passing on the Mets.Jeff Francis, Zach Duke and Rick Ankiel are just the last three players who would have fit the Mets needs that have signed somewhere else for...

If that's all Torres is then Damon makes sense...
Jon Heyman reported yesterday that he was told a competing exec. believed Andres Torres is nothing more then a 5th outfielder.The Mets actions may be confirming that belief, first going after Cody Ross and now monitoring the left handed outfield market. Ankiel and Fokudome could platoon with Torres but Damon might be the perfect fit. Damon would be able to hit at the top of the...

New York Mets Likely to Assign Lead Off Duties to Andres Torres
As we gear up for Spring Training and the promise of real baseball, the New York Mets are surprisingly set throughout their 25-man roster. There are plenty of questions surrounding the organization, but on the field the New York Mets have most of their rotation set and they have a very good idea of who will be filling out the lineup on Opening Day. One of the final decisions...

Should Terry Collins bat Andres Torres leadoff?
In no small part due to injuries, Terry Collins was a lineup tinkerer last year. With the exception of Jose Reyes, every player moved around in the batting order, including Daniel Murphy who batted in every spot in the lineup except leadoff. Even Carlos Beltran did not have a stable spot, as he had 101 starts batting third and 36 batting fourth.
With Reyes gone, the question...

Getting acquainted with the newest Mets’ CF Andres Torres
While the biggest impact acquisitions in the off-season for the Mets has to be the additions of Frank Francisco, Jon Rauch and Ramon Ramirez to the bullpen, the addition of Andres Torres certainly is of equal importance to the franchise.
As you’re probably well aware of, Torres, along with Ramirez, was acquired on December 6 when the Mets shipped Angel Pagan to the San Francisco...

Torres needs a RHB caddy...
This is not a bash Andres Torres post, there seem to be plenty of those going around since the trade. Ramon Ramirez makes the trade a win in my opinion but after watching Pagan defensively last season, an upgrade in center field works for me. Sure Pagan is a better career hitter but how much of his offense is off-set by his horrible play in the field last year.So based on the little...

Arbitration Eligible: Andres Torres
There’s no doubt that Andres Torres‘ 2011 was disappointing. It’s something I’ve reviewed in detail, and I seem to have become somewhat of a Torres apologist. In essence, he fits the mold for the prototypical underrated player: stellar defense, an above-average walk rate, elite baserunning skills, and up-the-middle positional value. Torres enters his second...
