Why no one picked him up after hitting .296 with a .367 OBP and 23 steals is beyond me. I suggested this in the offseason and Peavy agrees. Lofton would help the Padres struggling offense and keep Headley in AAA to get more seasoning since he has been an OFer for only two months. Hopefully Towers is listening.Jake Peavy's next start is Sunday, but the Padres' ace made an unscheduled pitch on behalf of Kenny Lofton yesterday.
"I like Kenny," Peavy said of the unemployed outfielder. "I think he'd bring a dimension to this ballclub that we don't have any of -- we have no team speed.
"It's not my call. It's not my decision. But he'd definitely be a spark."
