From the AAAA files, Torrens goes down to Tacoma and promptly hits a homerun.

Do you think he might have learned how to play defense too?

With that kind of offense... does it even matter?

For AAA with a bunch of journeyman pitchers, nah.

I just don't get how you can be as inept as Trammell was at the ML level and then go and do that.

Forever perplexed at the mental gymnastics some of these folks put themselves through.

There's a pitcher, a bat, and a ball. It can't be THAT different.

He wasn't ready.

How do you know when he is ready?

Can they send JK back to Tacoma for a month without blowing his Super Two status?

Needs to hit .500 for a full AAA season.

The results speak for themself that he wasn't. He might never figure it out. But he was just beginning to figure it out at the AA level late in 2019, and missed a year of development like everyone else because of Covid. Give him another few weeks at AAA to see how he does, then if he's still raking, get him back to Seattle and give him another chance.

If he doesn't start hitting, then he doesn't deserve the "super 2" status.
