Gleyber Torres Expected To Hit Between Fourth And Sixth
9 months agoNew York Yankees manager Aaron Boone sees second baseman Gleyber Torres hitting between fourth and sixth in the lineup this year, and also in the leadoff spot when needed. Boone thinks Torres is highly motivated heading into the final year of his current deal and thinks he can improve as a defender as well. Hitting in the heart of New York's improved batting order would make the 27-year-old infielder even more attractive as a top-five fantasy second baseman. DJ LeMahieu, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge are expected to fill the top three spots in the lineup for the Bombers. Torres' numbers don't exactly jump off the page, but don't forget that he's now reached 24 home runs in four of his five full seasons in the majors while also recording double-digit stolen bases in each of the last three campaigns.
