The San Francisco Giants are finalizing a minor league contract with second base prospect Darren Baker. Following his release from the Chicago White Sox organization, Baker is expected to report to Triple-A Sacramento. The move reunites the infielder with the organization where his father, Dusty Baker, served as manager and currently holds a front office role. Darren Baker previously gained notoriety in a 2002 World Series moment when he was rescued at home plate by J.T. Snow while serving as a team bat boy. The Giants continue to add players with historic ties to the franchise, including recent acquisitions related to Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent.
