Tony Torcato

Non-prospect who looks better than he is thanks to guys like Todd Linden and Lance Niekro. The Giants have imported Michael Tucker to do the job that would have been Torcato's, so his fantasy value is nil.

Torcato was the Giants' number one draft pick out of high school in 1998, and he turned in probably his best minor league season in 2002, going .290-13-64 in 130 games at Triple-A Fresno. However, in those 130 games, he walked only 29 times and went only 4-for-10 in steals. With so many openings in the Giants' outfield this offseason due to free agent departures, he's got a great chance to make the team as a fourth or fifth outfielder, but he needs to have a really good spring, and Felipe Alou needs to notice it if he does. Drawing more walks would help, because he posted a .429 slugging average at Fresno last year. Check his spring; if it appears he'll make the 25-man roster, he might be worth a dollar play in deep NL leagues.
