DETROIT-- One of Yankees GM Brian Cashman most-trusted lieutenants was dispatched to Charlotte this past weekend to get more good looks at their top prospect, one of the best in baseball.
VP of baseball operation Tim Naehring has been writing up glowing reports on Gleyber Torres, who is hitting .385 in 10 International League games through Sunday with a homer and 10 RBIs playing some shortstop, a little second base, and as of last Tuesday, nothing but third.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone was asked again Sunday what the organization is seeing from Torres, a 21-year-old infielder who might be just a few days away from debuting in the majors.
