Googling Benson news

Google news is too easy to use. Current highlights:

Mets

Matt Ginter (1-2, 4.74 ERA) will pitch Thursday against the Phillies, but his status - and Jae Seo's, despite praise from Art Howe - remain tenuous with Erickson potentially nearing a return and the Mets in pursuit of a pitcher via trade, particularly Pittsburgh's Kris Benson. -- Adam Rubin, New York Daily News, 7/6/04

DEAL/MOVE TO MAKE NOW: Get pitcher Kris Benson from the Pirates and send Matt Ginter back to the minors. This is more of a necessity than bringing up third baseman David Wright. -- David Waldstein, Star-Ledger, 7/6/04

Giants

Many Giants fans would like to see Sabean add a starter for a possible postseason run, and Pittsburgh's Kris Benson is the current flavor of the month. However, it's costly to get a starter and Sabean got burned with Sidney Ponson last year. My guess is that he'll try to strengthen the bullpen and wait to make big changes until the offseason, when he has more room on the payroll. -- Glenn Dickey, San Francisco Chronicle, 7/6/04
