Champaign, IL native Matt Herges didn’t spend too much time being unemployed. After being designated for assignment a couple days ago, the Arizona Diamondbacks picked him up from the Giants for outfielder Doug Devore.
I noted in an earlier posting that Herges’ has been on the decline in the last year or so. For what it’s worth, despite a high ERA, he did have a career high 23 saves last year for the Giants.
