Garko to Giants

On July 27, The Tribe sent Ryan Garko to the Giants for left handed pitching prospect Scott Barnes and a player to be named.

Garko has been a spare parts hitter for the Indians for the last few seasons. He was a productive player last year as Travis Hafner's replacement, but has since lost playing time.

Barnes has a 2.85 ERA in 18 starts in High A. However, he is not a player with tremendous upside, as an 8th round pick in '08

Winner: Giants

Following the trend, it seems that the name wins the trade. Unfortunately without the minor leaguer having any visible upside, we can only hope to be pleasantly surprised. Garko should see more playing time at Pac Bell (I know it's not the name, but I like it better than AT&T)
