SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- When the position players report to Giants camp Monday, one of the most intriguing story lines will be the competition at second base, featuring relative newcomer Kevin Frandsen vs. incumbent Ray Durham.
The 25-year-old Frandsen, in the best shape of his young career after a rigorous offseason regimen, has said he plans to do all in his power to take the job -- and San Francisco's brass will give him that chance. At 36, Durham begins his 14th major league season and a contract year looking to bounce back from a career-worst campaign in 2007 in which nothing seemed to go right.
Frandsen said the Giants told him before the offseason to prepare to play second, but the dilemma with Durham is that he's due to make $7.5 million in 2008.
