I guess the reports they got from Memphis satisfied them to give him a look at third.
I like having the mix of another RH bat and hope he can translate his minor league success into being a big league weapon.
I also hope Torres doesn't become the new oh we forgot he was on the roster player that never gets into the mix. I like the way he takes ABs and think with enough reps he will be a solid OBP machine.
The only question mark on the roster now is Pages. We went decades with two catchers on the active roster but for some reason we think we can't survive without three the last couple years.
It's because Herrera DH's so much; he can't really be a backup on those days. In a scenario if Crooks gets hurt during the game, Pages steps in, because we would otherwise lose the DH if Herrera had to switch over.

While I understand that it seems like a chicken [expletive] way to manage a roster. You lose the DH for one game; use your good bench bats to hit for the pitcher and then make a roster move after the game.

Yeah, I don't like it either.
