A year ago, the Yankees were in a much different place than they are now. The Red Sox were considered the heavy favorites to win the AL East after adding Chris Sale, and the Baby Bombers were very much an unknown commodity, full of potential but facing several question marks. Still, Joe Girardi wasn't about to concede in late December, telling reporters at the 2016 Pinstripe Bowl: "I think we're going to be a club that is fighting for our division."As it turned out, Girardi was right.

Even more surprising was Cashman revealing that he considered calling up Torres from Single-A last season. Several members of the Yankees coaching staff were in favor of the move, and Cashman himself had to resist himself from the massive jump through the minor leagues.

Position players recover from TJS at a much faster pace than pitchers, so Torres will be A-OK and ready to go come Opening Day if he plays his cards right.
