Fantasy Focus: Impact Rookies- Gleyber Torres

Gleyber Torres was the centerpiece of the package the Yankees received from the Cubs in the Aroldis Chapman trade.  He's a B-R, T-R, SS prospect who stands 6'1", 175 lbs.  He started last season in AA and put up a line of .273/.367/.496, 5 HR, 5 SB, 12.2 BB%, 15.1 K%, 139 PA.  He moved up to AAA and where he hit the ground running with a .309/.406/.457, 2 HR, 2 SB, 13.5 BB%, 27.1 K% in 96 AB.  There was talk of a promotion to the MLB team when he suffered an unusual injury tearing his left(non-throwing) UCL on a slide into home plate and underwent midseason TJ surgery.  I don't know what the timetable is for a position player undergoing TJ on their non-throwing elbow.  Torres reportedly is currently swinging a bat.  His situation should be monitored closely through the spring.  He is currently blocked at SS by Didi Gregorius, but he could potentially step in at 3B for the Bronx Bombers sometime in 2018.
