Torres will have to improve significantly against the more common right-handed pitchers if he hopes to regain a regular role in center field.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Andres Torres","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The Mets might well grant Torres their everyday center-field and leadoff role to begin the 2012 season; that doesn't necessarily mean that they should. Coming off a career 2010, he endured a disastrous 2011, one that got only worse with time as evidenced by his .214/.299/.286 triple-slash rates after the All-Star break. Leg issues might have contributed; in the past three years combined, he has endured four separate issues that resulted in multi-week absences. Assuming he's healthy, Torres could restore his double-digit power, and with a boost in batting average he'd likely improve his runs total from the leadoff spot. But that's a stretch, barring an outstanding spring. For now, consider him a mere NL-only option.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":0.2,"playerRater15DAY":-3.7,"positionRank":107}
