There are a lot of names being throw out there - here are some bats I think the Giants should target to improve this offense - it wouldn't take a lot to just get it near average.
Marco Scutaro - he is having one of his best seasons, has always been a clutch hitter and good defender. He could play second and hit second and provide a nice boost to the line up, offensively and defensively.
Scott Rolen - If the Blue Jays are serious about becoming sellers, he becomes a target - he is is paid handsomely, signed through next year, and a premium glove. While I am not crazy about Big Panda's glove at first, Rolen hitting behind him would be a definite upgrade.
Ryan Garko - the Indians first baseman is a right handed hitter with good power - he could share time with Ishikawa, wouldn't cost too much, and again, represent an upgrade to the line up with a little more pop.
Mark Teahen - a cheap option to upgrade second base, with the ability to flip him out to right, left, first and third, if needed.
Kevin Kouzmanoff - He has good power numbers, would likely be available since the Padres are nowhere near competition.
There aren't a lot of available bats this year - probably because so many teams are in it - but hopefully something gets done - that actually helps the team score!
