The Milwaukee Brewers have made another move, acquiring 2B Ray Durham from the San Francisco Giants. The trade was announced today, immediately after the game between the two teams. The Giants received two prospects in the deal: OF Darren Ford from Class A Brevard County and Triple-A Nashville LHP Steve Hammond.

Ford was pulled from the Brevard County line-up Saturday in anticipation of the trade and is hitting .230 this year, but had 48 stolen bases in 59 attempts. The Brewers selected him in the 18th round of the 2004 Draft.

Hammond is a soft-tosser who started the season at AA Huntsville and has struggled since a promotion to AAA. He is 0-4 with a 7.41 ERA in four starts since the move and 7-8 with a 4.09 ERA in 19 starts combined.

Durham, 36, is a switch-hitter and is hitting .293 this season with a .385 on-base percentage and could be worked into a second-base platoon with Rickie Weeks, who hit a go-ahead two-run single in Saturday's win for the Brewers, but is batting .218 with a .322 on-base percentage. Durham could also be used as a UTIL player and might see some action at 3B. Of course, he also will be available to come off the bench to pinch-hit and pinch-run.

Durham is the final season of a two-year, $14.5 million contract that will pay roughly $3 million for the remainder of 2008. He did not play in the weekend series against the Brewers at AT&T Park. The Giants said he had the flu.
