A player may be eligible for a fourth option year if he has been optioned in three seasons but does not yet have five full seasons of professional experience. A full season is defined as being on an active pro roster for at least 90 days in a season. The 90-day requirement means short-season leagues (New-York Penn, Northwest, Pioneer, Appalachian, Gulf Coast, Arizona Rookie, Dsl, Vsl) do not count as full seasons for the purposes of determining eligibility for a fourth option.
It seems that Torres have only four full seaons(2009, 2010, 2011, 2012). 2006, 2007, 2008 seasons may be not defined as full seasons.
