Torres made his debut against Cuba in a WCQ coming on for Heath Pearce at the left mid spot.
Nice try.
Except I watched that game yesterday. They replaced Pearce with him, and played a bastardized 3-5-2 with Donovan and Beasley outside of him. (Beasley was sort of the left back, but not really, because Cuba only had 10 men at that point.)
He's replaced a striker with a couple minutes left in a couple of games, when the US switches to a 4-5-1 and tries to kill a game off, but being an outside mid, to possess and relieve pressure, in a 4-5-1, with a lead against a CONCACAF opponent, is not the same as starting as an outside mid in a 4-4-2.
He plays centrally for his club, and any game for the US where he's made more than a token appearance, he's played centrally.
But tell me more. I'm intrigued.

It's a prediction, trying to make the pieces fit. Torres has played wide for the US.
You watched the USA - Cuba WCQ yesterday?
The only way Torres makes this roster is as a left mid. Simple as that. He's not going to see the the CM position over Feilhaber, Bradley, Edu, or Clark.
