Kenny Makes A Splash with the Giants

How do you make friends in a new clubhouse? Hit the second pitch you see over the fence to give your team a lead right off the bat (yep, pun intended).

Kenny Lofton is going to be a big impact player down the stretch for the Giants. And his presence now gives Dusty Baker more of a chance to let Barry Bonds heal almost all the way up before bringing him back. Today's the trade deadline though, we'll see what else Sabean can pull out of his hat. Or Billy Beane from the A's, for that matter.
