Eric Hacker elects free agency

Pitcher Eric Hacker has rejected his outright assignment and will pursue opportunities in Japan or Korea. The Giants designated him for assignment a few days ago, and outrighted him to Triple-A yesterday.

Hacker has spent most of the 2012 season in Triple-A, where he has posted a 4.01 ERA in 25 starts.

Analysis: I suppose this is a good move for Hacker. There was virtually no way that he was going to get playing time with the Giants. Their rotation is one of the best, therefore making it pretty much impossible for him to win a rotation spot.
