Denker to Giants

Sorry about the no blogging yesterday. Just needed a break. Anyway, the Dodgers sent minor-league infielder Travis Denker to the Giants to complete the Mark Sweeney trade. Denker hit .294 with 27 doubles, 10 homers and 57 RBI at Single-A Inland Empire this season. He was originally a 21st-round draft pick in 2003 and was playing in high Single-A for the third year in a row, so he didn't have a prominent place on the organizational radar.
