"Trade for Linden? "They told me I'm still with the team, but I think they've been talking to people," said outfielder Todd Linden on Monday. He has lost the fifth outfield spot to hotter-hitting Jason Ellison and now expects to be traded.
"They're looking for a better fit for me," said Linden, batting .260 this spring -- compared to Ellison's .431 -- with six RBIs but no homers. He also has one more option year left, and if traded, it opens a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster.
Linden has been curious about possible deals in the works for the past year, especially after having a torrid 2005 with Fresno, batting .321 with 80 RBIs and a best-in-the-Minors .682 slugging percentage.
At 25, he's still getting better, but he's struggled at the Major League level, batting .207 over 94 games in three partial seasons, including a .216 mark with San Francisco last year.
He said the Giants feel he's grown beyond the Triple-A level."
