SALIVATING OVER GLEYBER TORRES

Everyone is excited about Gleyber Torres.  He's making a leap to Triple A and there is plenty of talk about him coming to the Bronx real fast.

Well, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com is more excited than anyone, and literally took the time to set a lineup with Torres in it.  I am taking the Torres portion... where he'd bat in the lineup and what Kuty thinks of him.  The full piece is HERE though. Check it out:

"It may not be long until the New York Yankees welcome top prospect Gleyber Torres to Yankee Stadium. Here's what the lineup might look like. Hint: It's not great news for Chase Headley...

8. Gleyber Torres 3B

Why: The No. 8 spot seems the best place to start Torres, who could shoot up in short order. Girardi did it with Judge and Tyler Austin last year, too, trying to keep the pressure off the hyped youngsters as long as he could. Torres projects to have middle-of-the-order potential. But that the Yankees don’t even really NEED it at the moment seems like a plus."

Now Headley's grown on me this year, because he's doing the job offensively, but defensively... not so much.  I would welcome Torres... and I gotta tell you, I kind of love the Yankee lineup Kuty put together.

Nice of Brendan.

Happy Friday everyone.
