Unfortunately, that has not happened for refs since his 2015 debut. He doesn't possess the tools like say Aaron hicks, who has seemingly a never ending rope of opportunity.

Torreyes is also faster (evidenced by his four triples last year to Refsnyder's none), and players much better defense.<br /><br />With regular playing time Refsnyder may very well be a better player, but we're not talking about a season-long job here. We're talking about a month. I think Torreyes was the better choice based on history and facts, whereas Refsnyder is a total gut feeling. And unfortunately I don't think Girardi shares the same gut feeling about Ref as you do.Bryan Van Dusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868262676393608086noreply@blogger.com
