Once a week or so, instead of taking batting practice on the field, we will take it inside, in the stadium batting cage. And for a lot of guys, that is an invitation to bare all. Without fail, a teammate will decide to take off his clothes and rub some sort of condiment — mustard, peanut butter, whatever— all over himself before he steps in to take a few swings. The sight of a big fella covered in peanut butter taking swings a a baseball tends to keep things light. Even BP pitchers get in on the act. Some days I’ll show up in the cage, and the guy throwing to me has on his birthday suit. Let me tell you, nothing tests your focus more than trying to hit a baseball thrown by a man with his junk hanging out

Awesome catch to rob a home run
"My goal is to stay calm, see the ball and get on base," Torres said. "I always wanted to swing at the first pitch. But now, the biggest thing for me is on-base percentage."
At the rate Torres has been playing, this year and last, can't said I'd mind if he takes over the startling job for left field.

On why he would choose Cain over Lincecum if given a choice:
"Cain can really pitch, man. Lincecum, he's a freak. He weighs 160 or so pounds. He's a max-effort guy with a bad delivery. Don't get me wrong -- he punched out 261 guys last year and he might pitch forever. But it's just that Cain pitches with such ease. He won 14 games last year with a 2.89 ERA. Lincecum won 15 with a 2.48. See what I'm saying?"
