We Just learned that Giants super lead-off hitter and center-fielder Andres Torres went to a San Diego hospital this morning to get an appendectomy. He will be out 10 to 14 days. I think he was gonna be out of the line-up today vs the Padres anyway to try to get his slump worked out, but this will be a big blow to the Giants.
We will probably see a platoon of Aaron Rowand and Cody Ross in center until he is back. What bad timing for this to happen to the Giants. Torres was in a major slump at the plate, but his Gold Glove play in center-field will really be missed in these very important games down the stretch. He has saved a lot of runs this year running down balls like a mad man! He will be missed.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :o( i seriously heart #56. this could be bad :o/ but let's keep our fingers crossed!
