The San Francisco Giants landed a new left-handed cleanup hitter - and Aubrey Huff made a good-natured reference to the slugger who used to hold the spot. "Listen, if Barry Bonds hit home runs there, I can, right?" Huff joked about the home run king's feats in San Francisco's pitcher-friendly ballpark. The Giants and Huff completed their one-year, $3 million contract Wednesday after the first baseman passed a physical. The sides agreed to terms last weekend. Huff was traded from the Orioles to the Detroit Tigers in August and batted .241 with 15 home runs and 85 RBIs in 150 games between the teams. In 2008, he hit .304 with 32 homers and a career-best 108 RBIs for the Orioles. "It was a very good year. I was proud of that year," said Huff, who would rather put 2009 behind him.
