Two New York Yankees hitters chose a bad season to produce sub-par offensive campaigns.
Despite the New York Yankees having amassed one of baseball's best records to this point, there are a few players who have not performed up to expectations this season.
"Torres, to his credit, has performed better during the second half," Anderson wrote. "Still, he had a chance to solidify himself as a top-10 free agent heading into the winter: a 28-year-old second baseman with three consecutive 20-homer, three-WAR seasons. Instead, he'll be doing well to finish with a league-average OPS. Perhaps this proves to be overly pessimistic, but at this point he seems like a prime candidate to take a pillow contract.
Torres is hitting .252 with a .693 OPS, 12 home runs, and 55 RBIs in 138 games played this season. While these numbers aren't ideal for a player with Torres' talent, they're not as bad as his teammate's.
