He was fun to watch in 2018, though a bit tongue in hopeful cheek there. I knew Willie Randolph deserved to be there, though he was fun like watching a train arriving on time everyday without incident. Randolph was so unassuming on and off the field, a quiet competitor who did everything well without one trait sticking out. You already know of my enmity toward Robinson Cano, so no way he was making my list. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Torres with the move back to second base reverts back to his 2018 and 2019 performance? So many timely three-run homers and big hits. He had a flair for the dramatic then. There's certainly a chance he bounces back. Maybe not to the 38 HRs of the rocket ball era but he has enough talent that he could be a positive contributor. Is that too much to ask? No not too much at all. That season wrecked the lad, and it was so abnormal with the O’s hanging him pitches over and over. He got too homer-happy and lost his mechanics… There’s a .290 hitter in there with 20-25 HR pop. The question is if he can find that guy or not. To be honest, I still wouldn’t mind if we moved on from him, but I understand several reasons the Yanks may be reluctant to…

Best to give him one more shot.
