Last year the Giants lacked power hitters but didn't really play small ball.

They didn't take walks.
They didn't have any team speed outside of Torres, Ford and Burriss
It would take 3-4 base hits to score 1 run

If the Giants don't have the money to sign a HR hitter they have to get a hitter who is going to get on base and steal a base.

Coco Crisp seems like a good fit.
