FACTS/FLUKES: Blanco, Aoki, Leake, Dempster, Pacheco

Blanco sparking SF ... In 2010, little-heard-of Andres Torres (OF, NYM) took over the CF job at AT&T Park and provided some surprising offensive punch for San Francisco's playoff run. Two years later, Grégor Blanco (OF, SF) is trying to come from nowhere and fill the same role. And so far he's doing a good Torres impersonation.
