My Take

Torres embodies a baseball type I deeply respect: the durable journeyman. Bouncing through the White Sox, Rockies, Mets, Brewers, Nationals, and Tigers, then crossing the Pacific to pitch for the Yomiuri Giants, might read as restlessness, but I see the opposite. Being wanted by that many clubs is its own quiet endorsement. The road from Aptos High to San Jose State to the majors is pure self-made grit, and at 186 cm he kept climbing back onto the mound. I'm drawn to players who endure rather than dazzle. Men like Torres are the unglamorous backbone that lets the game keep running.
