Hi, I'm Josh Torres. I'm a soulful Puerto Rican who has been around the block a few times. Originally wigned by the Brewers, I played with that system from 2012 to 2015 before being tossed over the side and getting fished out by the Mets. The Brew Crew tried to make me a starter, but the Mets have wanted nothing to do with that shit, and I've been a reliever ever since.
But, you know, what a reliever! In 49 1/3 innings with Bingo last season, I spit up a 1.19 ERA, striking out 58 and walking only 14. You know what my record was? I was 9 and freaking 0. You might say that getting credited with a win or a loss is a deceptive stat. I might agree with you if I wasn't walking around with nine of those wins and zero losses all offseason. Ask Harol Gonzalez what he thinks of wins and losses.
But 2018 had to end and the Mets, impressed by what I'd done, invited me to camp for the second straight year, and then ... sent me back to Bingo.
FWHAT!! I carpetbombed that league last year and you think I need to return?!
But it was stupid to throw a fit, and then, after only 10 2/3 innings I hit the IL. While all the Hanholds and Rhames get called up and down, I remain in purgatory in upstate. But I'll be back again. This time I will try to show that I'm not trying to pretend.
And try I will. Make guarantees I cannot. So you tell me: what's gonna happen?
