SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy has a new toy in his lineup this season -- speed. Heading into Sunday's game against the Rangers, the Giants had a Major League-best 23 triples, one shy of last year's total of 24. The club has combined for 45 stolen bases, good for sixth in the Majors and third in the National League. Offseason additions of Angel Pagan, Gregor Blanco, Ryan Theriot and Melky Cabrera have paid off on the basepaths for the Giants, who have historically lacked team speed. Last season, the team ranked 24th in the Majors with 85 stolen bases. "It's a lot of fun," Bochy said. "It's nice to have that dimension. We didn't have that last year. We talked about how having speed makes our offense more consistent, and it has been." The Giants have speed beyond the first two hitters in the lineup, as No. 3 hitter Cabrera leads the league with seven triples and has 10 stolen bases, while No. 5 hitter Pagan is leading the team with 12 stolen bases. "It hasn't just been one guy, but really throughout the lineup," Bochy said. "We've added more speed and it's made us better." Bochy對於拿到速度這把新武器後感到很舒服，因為去年才只有24隻triple， 今年球季還進行不到一半就有超恐怖的23隻triple，這隻總是缺乏速度的隊伍 到現在就有45次盜壘，這樣的成績可是排在mlb第6與國聯第3，球隊的當家 第三棒Cabrera除了跑出10次盜壘外還有全聯盟最多的7隻triple， 另外一位打者Pagan則有著球隊最多的12次盜壘。 --
