A little belated, but a lot deserved. Let's welcome our old friend back and bask in the memories.
Back in 2011, when the Giants traded for some guy named Angel Pagan, things were kinda sad around here. There were no guarantees that Buster Posey would ever catch again. The front office wasn't filling us with confidence after acquiring Orlando Cabrera on purpose. And while Pagan was a little younger than Andres Torres, it was probably a wash, which meant that a fan favorite was going away for dubious reasons.
In this context, I wrote a love letter to Torres, an unlikely star during the only championship run the Giants were going to enjoy for the next 30 years.
