SIS: Who in the world was Ronald Torreyes

by boobs on Dec 23, 2011 11:53 AM EST

Granted, this is a very ignorant position I'm taking. But I've become a very casual fan over the last year or so because I haven't been able to obsess over all the little nuts and bolts like I used to. So I have no clue who in the world Ronald Torreyes is, or was, and I can't imagine losing him could really be that big of a deal. So I made a thread for others like me who can't really relate to the other discussions going on, by people who know much more about the system than I do.

Feel free to:

1) Mock Ronald Torreyes or Dave Sappelt

2) Post pictures of those baboons with the funny looking butts

or 3) Tell us about your most disastrous Christmas get-together.

Please tell me they didn't get rid of Torreyes!!!

I’ve seen him play in the minors.
He’s a short little 5’9" 140lb kid from Venenzuela who just turned 19.

I think he’s one of the best hitters in their system.

For as small as he is, he has great bat speed and a tremendous stroke that zings the baseball whenever he hits it.

He hit 0.356 in Dayton last year, after hitting just as well the year before.
And in his minor league career has as many BB’s as K’s.

He doesn’t strike out
Makes great contact, driving the ball well
Very good defense

He’s got to be just about the closest thing to “untouchable” of anybody in their system for as well as he has played and as young as he is.

Not Christmas related..

But for Thanksgiving my mother, grandmother and about a dozen other people went to cut the Thanksgiving turkey this year. To their surprise, after cooking it for 5 hours and getting everyone around the table, When they cut into it.. IT WAS GREEN. The ENTIRE breast area was GREEN. No lie.

My family has had two memorable Christmas moments

my favorite was the year my grandma recited (screamed) some holiday poem to the whole poem, unbeknownst to my aunt, who had donned full gear and played amazing grace on her bagpipes from the top of the stairs. If you’ve never heard bagpipes indoors, they’re loud. They’re real loud. So my then-sister-in-law, who was postnatal, then laughed until she cried. That went on for quite a while.

Baboon butts look funny because they show when the female is ovulating, causing mating to occur.

The first few years after my son was born, I attempted to force my divorced parents to visit at the same time

“Get along for the sake of the holiday/your grandson!”

It was a worse idea than Crystal Pepsi.

1. Crystal Pepsi had an awesome Super Bowl commercial, and used a great song from an underrated band

3. Crystal Pepsi was surprisingly tasty
4. Crystal Pepsi helped Pepsi distance itself in soft drink market share from Coca Cola
