Andres Torres makes his first visit to AT&T Park since an offseason trade that sent him to the Mets along with Ramon Ramirez in exchange for Angel Pagan. In his first year in New York Torres is batting just .231. He has a respectable .348 OBP to go along with 35 runs scored and 10 steals.
Speaking of familiar faces, the Giants may get a chance to face their former starter Jonathan Sanchez, as the struggling left-hander is listed as the Rockies' probable starter for Friday's series opener in Denver. Sanchez is 1-8 with an 8.32 ERA in his first year away from San Francisco, which has included a stint in Kansas City before a trade to Colorado. Sanchez left San Francisco in an offseason trade with the Royals for Melky Cabrera.
