Baros joined Villa on a four-year contract in August 2005 after dropping to fourth choice behind strikers Djibril Cisse, FernandoMorientes and Peter Crouch at Liverpool.
Reds' fans may point to the likes of FernandoMorientes among the misses, but Antic - who was Atletico coach while Torres was forging his way through the youth team - is sure Torres will be a hit.
