Giants designate Hacker for assignment

The Giants have designated pitcher Eric Hacker for assignment. Hacker had a brief stint with San Francisco this year, tossing nine innings of work, including a six-inning start in April.

Hacker has spent most of the season in Triple-A, putting up a 4.01 ERA in 25 starts.

Analysis: Eh. Hacker isn't really anything special. Just more pitching depth. The Giants clearly have enough pitching, thus making Hacker expendable.
