Giants Not Interested In Rick Ankiel

The Giants are searching for a left-handed batter, and agent Scott Boras has two he's offering.

Johnny Damon and Rick Ankiel -- with Ankiel being the cheaper choice.

Boras was asked if Ankiel could be a fit for the Giants.

"I sent them the video of his home run -- I'm kidding," said Boras, referring to Ankiel's 11th-inning homer into McCovey in Game 2 of the Division Series, a 6-5 Braves victory over the Giants.

"We're going to be in touch," said Boras, adding he was planning to put in a call to assistant GM Bobby Evans.

A Giants source denied any interest, saying neither player is on their board.
