Bust.

Just wish it wasn't for the Yankees.

Yeah, he's gonna be a real difference maker over there.

 

Personally, I'm glad he's not in the NL, or worse, our division.

I hate Cardinals fans more than Yankee fans, it's true, but the hatred is pretty strong for the latter.

 

Mets fans not so much.

Torres has dominated at every level at the minors. I can't help but believe that he'll be good player in MLB for years to come.

Speaking of former Cubs prospects,  Christian Villanueva has had a fast start to the season: 7 HR, .355/.444/.774, 1.4 bWAR.

Misses upcoming series with Cubs. Could we see Braun playing first base at Wrigley?
