Jake Peavy made a strong pitch for free agent Kenny Lofton on Saturday, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

"I like Kenny," Peavy said of Lofton. "I think he'd bring a dimension to this ballclub that we don't have any of -- we have no team speed.

"It's not my call. It's not my decision. But he'd definitely be a spark."
