Sabean Might Be Interested in Scott Thorman

From the San Francisco Chronicle comes the news that Brian Sabean and the Giants are looking to acquire a left handed hitting first baseman. Teams that happen to have a left handed hitting first baseman that's expendable may now commence drooling at the prospect of trading with Giants GM, who made a name for himself by giving up way too much for not enough.

Anywho, two of the names mentioned in the Chrons article were Nick Johnson and Scott Thorman. Johnson, at this point, is probably not going anywhere, simply based on the fact that he beat out Dmitri Young for the Nats' starting job. I mean sure, he's tradeable, and not to take the fantasy baseball angle here, but when a guy who can't stay on the field finally looks healthy and someone starts sniffing around, I'd probably move him. But again, real life and whatnot.

Thorman, however, is imminently movable. In fact, Frank Wren had mentioned some early season trades and there were rumors aplenty that Thorman might be one of the guys moved. So maybe something between Wren and Sabean will happen in the near future.

"Huhllo?"

"Brian, heeeey, it's Frank. What's going on, buddy?"

"Nothing."

"Well, look, I've just got too many darn good left handed, power slugging, All Star potential ridden first baseman this year."

"Go on."

"Well, I was taking at look at that Cain kid you guys have out ..."

"Deal."
