Formerly the Smasher
Part Torre part Reyes.
They’ve spliced and cloned a perfect shortstop!
Good news.
First Bleed
Ronald has some serious plate discipline, 131K in 1953ABs in his minor league career! Look out Mark Reynolds.
Steve Adams
It’s not even discipline so much as just a knack for making contact. He walks even less than he strikes out, but puts the ball in play a lot. Getting hit by tons of pitches helps his OBP out, though probably not in the most ideal way, haha.
Warren
Promising prospect.
stroh
Good prospect, probably will play in the majors. But, Astros have Correa, Fontana and Sclafani at AAA, Villar in the majors, and a very good prospect in Chan Moon at AA – all viewed by the organization as having higher ceilings than Torreyes. That’s why they cut him loose.

They’re just making room Correa/Fontana/Sclafani at Fresno. He got passed by all of them.
Anthony Rainier
We protected this guy but not DeSheilds and cut him loose for pretty much nothing.
stroh
So what. Not like DeShields is burning up the AL.
