It is anyone's guess as to why anyone in their right mind would be interested in acquiring Walker, but GM Brian Sabean could insist that he be included in any deal. Patience with Walker is growing extremely thin, especially after blowing what would have been wunderkind Tim Lincecum's 12th win. Lincecum struck out a career-high 13 without issuing a walk, exiting after the 7th inning with the Giants leading 3-2.

Giants Appear Ready to Deal
Shipping Ray Durham to the Brewers may have only been the start to a drastic remake of the Giants roster. The Yankees are rumored to be interested in both Randy Winn and Bengie Molina due to the injuries to Jorge Posada and Hideki Matsui. Rich Aurilia and Tyler Walker have also been mentioned as possible trade bait as the July 31st trade deadline approaches.
