Travis Denker, like, Audio Interview, dude

Well, he doesn't actually say "dude," but his is so much the SoCal boy. Here's a link to Travis Denker's interview during the SJ Giants pre-game webcast Sunday night, conducted by Joe Ritzo.  

I happened to record it, and figured Denker was interesting enough to share.

It's 7 mins. 33 seconds long.  Denker starts off talking about the Game One homer against Visailia.  Around the 3-minute mark, he tells describes how he received the news about getting traded.  (Background: Denker lives in Brea, in Orange County, and had to commute to San Bernardino, way east of L.A.: 45 minutes of freeway traffic and strip malls.)

Will I get to see Denker here in San Jose next year?  Tempting to think he'll be promoted, but we're talking small sample size and a level that he's repeating ... maybe Minicozzi deserves another shot at AA first (starting over Wald, Webb, or McMains) while Denker works on defense yet again under Lenn Sakata.  

Anyway, Denker's future got discussed, with Brian Bocock as a reference point, here.  I'm afraid Anticon23 makes a lot of sense when he says Denker is destined for LF ... and 15-20 HR from a left fielder just isn't that special.  But like I've said before, it's hard not to root for Denker.
