Stuck in extended spring training for most of the year, former UC Davis catcher Tyler LaTorre has found a team. LaTorre is back with the Salem-Keizer (Ore.) Volcanoes, the Giants' short-season club in the Northwest League. LaTorre was part of the Volcanoes' 55-21 league championship team last year and spent some time in San Jose as well but wasn't assigned to a team coming out of spring training. All that waiting paid off, at least in the season opener, as LaTorre homered against Boise.
At some point, LaTorre figures to cross paths with ex-Aggie teammate Aaron Hanke, who plays for the Yakima (Wash.) Bears, another team in the Northwest League. Speaking of debuts, Hanke homered in his first professional game for the Diamondbacks' farm club.
