Ray Durham Could Retire After Season

Giants second baseman Ray Durham is unsure whether he wants to play in 2009, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.  The resurgent Durham is hitting .302/.385/.420 in 192 plate appearances this year.  Maybe he'll choose to go out on a high note.

Durham makes $7.5MM plus incentives this year, plus incentives and a no-trade clause.  He should have decent trade value; only Mark DeRosa and Chase Utley have a higher OBP among second basemen.  Maybe the Cardinals would be interested.

Sounds like the kind of signing Kevin Towers would make.

I thought Matt Antonelli would be pretty much ready to take over second in 2009? Why sign Durham to a rather high priced deal ($4-6M) when he would end up on the bench or getting moved within a couple of months. I agree with Tim that the Cardinals seem logical, as they have no one to play it really now or long term unless Pete Kozma proves to be that, and Durham would give them a solid one year option.

Knowing Colletti, the Dodgers would probably pick him up...assuming Colletti still has a job at the end of the season.

doesn't Durham kind of make sense for the Cubs? move DeRosa to left while Soriano is out...
