Yorvit moves from Coors field to PetCo and probably the wrong end of a platoon (although both he and Hundley are right-handed).He was really good last year in stretches, Hitting .286, .341 and .313 from July on. And he actually was as good on the road as he was in Coors .290/.345/.387 in Denver, .292/.360/.371 elsewhere.

But this is not where you want to go.

Even if he wins a full time job he looks like a .245 hitter with little power in Petco where he has batted for his career .156 with a .431 OPS(!)

.235-20-2-25-0. 250ABs

Positives / Upside	Torrealba is up against Nick Hundley for playing time, which improves his chances. He only plays half his games in PetCo. .250-35-8-40-0. 375ABs
Negatives / Downside	The only reason we put in 2 dollars is that Torrealba might start. He ought to be a major league back-up and a pretty good one at that. His numbers are so bad in PetCo and so modest outside of it that failure IS an option. .235-20-2-25-0. 250ABs
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	411
