I rather Meadows here.
Couple things to take into consideration:
- Torres might not be a shortstop long term, his glove is just awful. Even worst than Bichette.
- If he’s not a SS, he’s a very poor fit for the current version of NYY. They’re already committed to DJ long term at 2B, which kinda makes you wonder where Torres plays defensively. They have better options at 3B.
- His hit tool shades average to below average, his saving grace is his walk rate. Not my favorite profile on a premium dynasty asset.
- Agree with Laika, Meadows is more likely to contribute premium offensive numbers, though Torres has a higher ceiling it’s less likely he’ll reach that perennial 35-40 HR mark he showed in 2019. If you’re getting non-SS 25 HR ver Torres moving forward I rather keep Meadows.
