SAN FRANCISCO - When the San Francisco Giants dealt SP Jesse Foppert to the Nevada Silverhawks in a deal for three other players, many fans still thought the team gave up too much.

But its starting to look like the Giants got a bargain. Not only did they pick up 2B Jose Vidro who is a potential free agent, and again is hitting over .300, but they acquired SS Lance Zawadski who despite being eligible to be a six-year free agent has some potential as a platoon player in the infield.

The crowing jewel was SP Kyle Sleeth. A former 1st round pick of the Houston Astros, Sleeth, 26, is 5-0 in June/July and has a 1.46 ERA at Pac Bell Park. "He's been nothing but outstanding for us," said Giants manager Mark Grace.
