Giants let go of Travis Denker

[piccione88]

The San Fransisco Giants have taken second baseman Travis Denker off of their 40 man roster. Denker is not the best defender, but he is a pretty good hitter. Denker gets on base, as good as just about any other minor league second baseman, he has never had an OBP under .360, and has 15-20 homerun power,and just turned 23.

 

It might not be a bad idea for the Brewers to pick him up for their 25th roster spot. Denker can play third base a little as well, so he is not one-dimensional.

According to Paul DePodesta, the Padres claimed him. Since he works there, I'm inclined to believe him.

Yea I just saw that too, in the san diego tribune. It was a long shot he would have made it to us, but it would have been nice.

At 23, even as a low ceiling, that's an odd cut.

In other news there have been rumors that the Giants are shopping Cain and one of the names on the list is Konerko.

 

Sure glad we don't have Sabean.

Jeez, we might be able to get Cain and Sanchez for Fielder if that's his price. Of course, he could be asking for more than just Konerko too.

Denker's obvious downfall is he isn't ten to 15 years older.
