RAY DURHAM RUMORS & GOSSIP
Position Projections: Second Base
The second base position has been pretty good for the Giants compared to other teams in the past 15 seasons. In 1997, the Giants put some guy named Jeff Kent out there to start for six seasons. He was an all-star, MVP and is a future hall-of-famer.
Then, the Giants threw Ray Durham in the second base position in 2004. Durham played well and was one of the Giants best players during...

Moneyball Effect on The Mets and Jose Reyes
I recently finished Moneyball, and towards the end author Michael Lewis discusses how in 2002, when the Oakland A's acquired Ray Durham, it transformed Durham.

Giants Positional Post-Mortem: Second Base
The second base situation for the Giants in 2008 played basically like a community trying to build it's way back up from some natural disaster. The two-year contract given to Ray Durham after the 2006 season, in retrospect, turned out to be a total waste. The first year of it was the hurricane devastating everything [...]

Brewers Acquire Ray Durham
The Milwaukee Brewers just made a move to up their offense (even while they're beating on TimLin 5-0) and traded for veteran second baseman Ray Durham. They gave up two Minor Leaguers, outfielder Darren Ford, and pitcher Steve Hammond.Gotta give it to the Brew Crew Management, they're giving it all they have for the one year shot at the prize. Seems weird to count out Rickie Weeks...
