There's a new high-end bat to covet at shortstop. It's Gleyber Torres, who like so many high-pedigree prospects with only so-so production in the minors is fully realizing his power in the majors, having homered seven times in his past 14 games.
It has him surging up the Trade Chart, to the point if you want him now, it'll cost you something like an Eugenio Suarez and a Garrett Richards. Or at least it should.
Of course, that's assuming you play in a league that meets all the criteria for these trade values. It's the Rotisserie format's turn this week, which means more weight is given to outfielders and to hitters as a whole.
Some other guidelines to keep in mind:
1. These values are tailored for the most standard of Rotisserie leagues, meaning traditional 5x5 scoring and 12 teams. The low-dollar players would be worth more in a deeper league, and the mid-dollar players would be worth less in a shallower league.
2. These values are intended only for 1-for-1 and 2-for-1 trades. Get into 3-for-1 or, heaven forbid, 4-for-1, and the impending roster crunch makes it near impossible to justify giving up the superior player (unless, of course, it's an obvious overpay).
3. These values are more of a rough guideline. In theory, if two players add up to more than some other player, you'll take the two over the one, but not every possible scenario has been vetted. And particularly with the lower-value players, perceptions are changing constantly. When in doubt, you'll want to stick with the better player.
Have at it.
