Giants Sign Dan Uggla

By Mark Polishuk | July 21, 2014 at 12:46pm CDT

The Giants have signed second baseman Dan Uggla, FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reports (Twitter link).  It’s a minor league contract that will see Uggla report to Triple-A Fresno, and the deal contains an out clause for August 1st, according to Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle (via Twitter).  Uggla is represented by Turn 2 Sports Management.

"<strong

Giants second basemen have combined for only 0.3 fWAR this season, and with Marco Scutaro back from the disabled list but not close to 100 percent, adding Uggla seems like a no-lose risk.  San Francisco’s interest in the veteran slugger was reported by CSNBayArea.com’s Andrew Baggarly on Friday.  Uggla seems badly in need of a change of scenery to revive his career, as the 34-year-old has seen his numbers steadily decline over the last four seasons, bottoming out with just a .472 OPS in 145 PA this year.

Uggla lost his starting job in Atlanta to rookie Tommy La Stella, and things quickly soured from there. Uggla received very little playing time over his final two months in Atlanta, and he was issued a one-game suspension for showing up only an hour before a game.  The Braves are still on the hook for the approximately $18.2MM remaining on Uggla’s contract through the end of the 2015 season, as the Giants only owe him a prorated league minimum salary for the remainder of 2014.

It seems unlikely that the Giants will cease looking for additional help at the keystone, but Uggla serves as a reasonable enough buy-low option for GM Brian Sabean.  Should he produce for San Francisco, it wouldn’t be the first time that Sabean caught lightning in a bottle on a struggling veteran. In 2010, the Giants’ additions of Pat Burrell and Cody Ross helped fuel their charge to the World Series, in which they defeated the Rangers four games to one.

          So your saying the Phillies would be interested if the Giants said “Hey we like Utley, mind if we just take his contract off you?” Maybe that would be appealing to a small market team like Oakland looking to get rid of Johnson but even if the Giants agreed to pay all of Utleys contract, the Phillies would still ask for prospects.

      What do you mean, once again? Sabean is not a stranger to trading prospects for talent. Here are some of his more recent deals:

      Culberson for Scutaro
      Joseph and Rosin (and Schierholtz) for Pence
      Wheeler for Beltran
      Alderson for Sanchez
      Turpen for Ramirez
      Bowker and Martinez for Lopez

      Of all the things you COULD say about Sabean, the one thing you CANNOT say is that he isn’t willing to trade prospects for talent. He’s done it time and time again.

      The real problem is that the Giants don’t have a ton of talent in the minors and of the talent that they DO have, Sabean still has to find a team who is interested AND who has the pieces to fill our needs.

          If I’m a giants fan, I’d be worried that Uggla gets called up, hits well in a small sample size, then Sabean follows standard Sabean operating procedure and gives him a two yr deal in the offseason.

            I’m a Giants fan, and like the deal, as he’s a low reward, if Giants fans recall Sabean did the same thing for the 2010 WS. However I do see Sabean going for a trade come deadline that will be far superior than what they currently have for 2B, Panik, Scutatro, Hicks ain’t cutting it.

              They’re going to have to. Hate to say it, but Hicks is an upgrade over Uggla. I mean, you always gotta love the little moves that might pay off, but this isn’t one. I’m an ATL fan and he just doesn’t have anything left at this point.

              It’s not like SF lost much, though… unless they have a guy at AAA that needs the AB’s.

    Henry Schulman is reporting that Uggla was signed on a minor league deal with an August 1 opt out clause. This means that Uggla will be getting the pro-rated league minimum, and that he’ll have until the trade deadline to get his act together in Fresno……low risk, high reward, that is if they can get anything out of him better than what they’ve been getting out of 2B and/or their bench right now. If it doesn’t work out, they can just shove Uggla back out the door again in 10 days.

    Plus it let’s Sabean focus on trading for a CF/leadoff hitter, since it doesn’t look like they’ll be getting Pagan back anytime soon. Not to mention starting pitching, if the Cain injury situation proves to be worse.

      that’s an extremely generous interpretation of what a “high reward” is. the guy is completely toast. nothing left. its been kind of sad watching him the last couple years… he’s not going to all of a sudden become a different person at age 34.

      I’m glad he’s at least going to be doing more than riding the bench, though. felt bad for the guy for having to ride the bench for two months (just 16 ab’s in that time). atl would rather run with a 24 man roster for 2 months than admit they had to let that money go. really sad that that’s where their priorities were… worn out bullpen… shrinking division lead… atrocious bench… nope, none of those things were as important as keeping uggla around in the hopes that they wouldn’t have to admit they made a mistake.

        He was so pivotal in getting them into the playoffs in 2013 that they said thanks by forgetting to add him to the playoff roster in lieu of signing released IF Eliot Johnson in Aug, who managed to be better than Uggla by not having a negative WAR.

            Because he no longer is a “bat off the bench with some pop.” Second half last year he hit .133/.298/.231 with 55 K’s in 143 AB and just 4 HR. Based on that the braves had no choice but to drop him from the roster.

    I’ve said since the day the Braves cut him that the Giants should take the chance. I love the contract on the Giants’ end… if it doesn’t work out, cut him loose after the 1st of August… if it does work, the Braves are paying $19.5 million for a player who works out.

    Let’s not forget, Xavier Nady was batting .157 with a -1.0 WAR before joining the Giants in 2012… he turned around to hit .240 with a 0.2 WAR in 19 games.

    Or Pat Burrell… batting .202 with -0.3 WAR in Tampa Bay in 2010… came to the Giants and went .266 with 18 home runs and a 2.1 WAR in the second half of the season…

    He could be another Nady or Burrell… or he could be another Jeff Francouer. Sabean seems to make a deal like this every year the Giants are contenders… give it a chance… they won’t bring him up from Fresno unless they think he’ll positively contribute to the team.

      Agreed. Pro-rated league minimum on a minor league contract means that there shouldn’t be anyone saying anything bad about this deal. Worst case scenario (and perhaps the most likely), the Giants let him go. But, he can’t possibly hurt the big league club, so there will be no harm done.

      And, you do gotta love a dude playing with a chip on his shoulder. I wish him the best and hope that he turns it around–both for him and the Giants.

        A lot of times, getting a guy out of his old team, away from the fans that despise him, away from the clubhouse where he likely didn’t fit in can be the best thing for a player. Braves fans are passionate, but often become brutal towards their own… Uggla needs a new place to call home.

        And if he’s not out of Fresno after 10 days, he’ll likely go home and eat cheetos and play video games or something and take his checks from the Braves.

        Just go for it… you never know what happens… it’s the beauty of baseball.

        I agree this his a low risk move, however he could absolutely hurt the giants if they call him up and he continues to perform at such a low level. Unless we get extremely lucky with Uggla, I’d rather have Hicks or Panick at second who can at least play solid defense.

    1) Over the last 2 years Uggla has struck out more times that he has reached base
    2) In 2014 Dan Uggla’s K% is greater than his SLG%
    3) Despite these stats Uggla was not released until July

    I swear I’m going to be mad if he finds his swing.

    Still hoping the Tribe can work out a deal with SF and trade ACab. Always thought he was a better 2nd baseman than SS. And we have guys that can play SS, like Aviles or Ramirez at AAA. Or…………bring up Lindor?

    About an hour ago, the SF equipment manager had to make the unfortunate call to Dan Uggla and let him know that San Francisco only stocks adult size jerseys. You can always take a Small and soak it in hot water, Danny boy!

    As a side comment to the article, I’m a Giants fan, but I really wish the baseball public would stop attributing the Cody Ross move to the Giants as some sort of ingeniously crafted piece of baseball chess. Sabean got him to block him from the Padres and Bochy played him because Jose Guillen failed his drug test. It wasn’t baseball genius, it was baseball luck, pure and simple. Had Guillen not failed his drug test, he would have been the everyday starter.

    I would think TORONTO would have been a good option for him. Look how they turned around Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. They were both struggling sluggers when the Jays signed them.

      They were youngsters with undeveloped raw power. Bautista was 27, Encarnacion was 26. Dan Uggla is 34 and his career is behind him — there is no undeveloped anything with Uggla. He may improve upon his dismal Braves numbers, but it won’t be because some new hitting coach fixed his swing or helped him judge the strike zone better. Uggla has been around long enough to be a multi-ASG selection. He just can’t physically do it anymore.

      Why?? Unless you thought Jocketty was considering giving him a call. In which case, good answer.

        I didn’t think jocketty would sign him
        But some reds fan were hoping he would.
        Last thing the reds need is another .200 hitter or in uggla’s case a .100 hitter

    A Sabean move if I’ve ever seen one.
