SAN FRANCISCO -- Once upon a time, Edgar Renteria was a slick-fielding shortstop with a big arm and a dangerous bat, a guy who sat at the top of the order and flicked base hits all over the field. Aaron Rowand was a Gold Glove center fielder who could pop balls out of the ballpark.
Seems like a long time ago.
Now, Renteria and Rowand are highly-paid bench players, the inverse of the feel-good story of guys like Andres Torres who come out of nowhere to take the jobs of everyday players. So it is an eye-opening afternoon when both of them sneak into the Giants starting lineup, and even more so when both of them contribute.
