Dave Torre
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Torre also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Torre, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Torre, and that's saying a lot. Torre has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Torre is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Torre has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Torre as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Torre.
