Durham grounds out in Brewers debut: Brewers 2B Ray Durham, acquired from San Francisco on Sunday, saw his first action with Milwaukee Monday against the Cardinals when he pinch-hit for Eric Gagne in the eighth.

Fantasy Analysis
Durham has pop in his bat, but he will be no more than a platoon second baseman with the Brewers, who have Rickie Weeks as their starter for the most part. Durham will steal at-bats from the disappointing free-swinger, though. Consider Durham a sleeper in NL-only leagues, but until the Brewers name him a starting second baseman, you should ignore Durham in mixed formats. (Updated 07/22/2008).
The San Francisco Giants were close Sunday to trading Ray Durham to the Milwaukee Brewers for two minor leaguers. (Updated 07/20/2008)
Advice
Durham was to be in a Giants uniform for Sunday???s series finale against Milwaukee. The second baseman had to approve the deal. A baseball official close to the deal expected an announcement to be made after the game. A Brewers trainer also was seen leaving the Giants clubhouse Sunday morning.
