The Contra Costa Times has a article on Ray Durham and his no-trade clause: He indicated that he wouldn’t stand in the way of a deal, particularly if the Giants plan to use him as a bench player.

I’m not even sure how to begin this post because the sheer absurdity of the Matt Morris trade is still swimming around in my head. It’s probably unwarranted to an extent, but Matt Morris had quickly climbed my chart of most annoying Giants.
