San Francisco - I've just heard from a very reliable source that Class AAA Nashville left-hander Steve Hammond is in the deal the Brewers are working out with the Giants.
So, if Hammond is in the deal and Class A Brevard County centerfielder Darren Ford is in the deal, you've got to believe the Brewers are getting more than just second baseman Ray Durham. It makes me believe that left-handed reliever Jack Taschner is in this deal as well.
Apparently, everything is on hold until Durham OKs the deal. As a "10 and 5" player (10 years in the majors, at least five with his current team), he must approve any deal. And, as I reported earlier, I've got to believe he will do it.
