Message #9 by Rob Reed @ July 10, 2010, 10:07pm lol story of my life... I'm trying to deal to get him... the problem is the cost is Cliff Lee, but I would also get a much needer closer in the deal

Message #8 by Bearlo0317 @ July 8, 2010, 07:21am Torri Hunter OF COURSE NOT

Message #7 by Rob Reed @ July 6, 2010, 07:28am you did great Did you get that 2 HR game? Great pickup...

Message #6 by Bearlo0317 @ July 2, 2010, 11:24am Torii Hunter Even though I value Lester more then him I had to trade Lester for Hunter in my keeper league. I have good pitching but needed offense and no one was dealing offense at all this year. Losing Heywerd and falling to far out of the league I needed to get some help somewhere.

Message #5 by Rob Reed @ December 29, 2009, 06:46pm alert! just saw him go in the TENTH round of a 10 team mock draft -- CRAZY!!!! If I got Torii in the THIRD round, I would feel pretty pleased. This is an interesting thing to watch in the preseason....

Message #4 by Rob Reed @ December 8, 2009, 04:21pm Injury curtailed a stellar season... once again, if the folks in your league believe Torii is overrated, get him for cheap. A bargain might still be had because his stellar stats in 2009 are hidden as a result of his missing over a month due to a groin injury. He had a pretty bad September... let that negatively influence others in your league to your advantage.

Message #3 by Rob Reed @ March 11, 2009, 10:32pm spot on I think you're spot on, jc... I don't get how folks aren't that interested in him. I recently was talking a baseballgeeks listener in a chatroom who hails from Minnesota who actually wasn't much of a fan, either, and in fact went out of his way to say that he (a Twin fan) thinks Torii is overrrated, too. Your stat projection is what anybody should expect, and I absolutely agree that as a 5th OF, you can't do much better.

Message #2 by jcrowley @ March 11, 2009, 09:51pm Underrated now... I think back in 07 when you posted this, Torii was "overrated;" a quiet year in Anaheim might work to your advantage for 09. I've been picking him up in Mock Drafts for $11 or less. An absolute "almost" 5 Category bargain as a 5th OF? I think so... I'm hoping for 80R-20HR-80RBI-.270AVG-20SB Yeah, I'd pay $11 for that line. : ) jc

Message #1 by Dr. Rub @ 3/17/07, 12:00pm Overated? Personally, I think he is. Granted is defense is awesome. This guy just doesn't hit for average good enough for me & he seems to strikeout a lot. His power numbers are okay, but not great.
