Giants Designate Ehire Adrianza

By Jeff Todd | January 24, 2017 at 1:45pm CDT

The Giants have designated infielder Ehire Adrianza for assignment, the team announced (h/t Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area, via Twitter). His roster spot will go to just-signed catcher Nick Hundley.

With San Francisco also reaching agreement recently with another infield option, Jae-gyun Hwang, there was a less pressing need for the 27-year-old Adrianza. Of course, it’s certainly possible that he’ll be retained if he clears waivers. He had agreed to a $600K deal to avoid arbitration after qualifying as a Super Two, though the deal came with a split affording him half as much for time spent in the minors.

Adrianza has played an occasional utility role in each of the last four years. He has accumulated 331 total plate appearances, with a .220/.292/.313 batting line to go with three home runs and four steals. The switch hitter has spent most of his MLB time in the middle infield, functioning as a reserve behind stalwarts Brandon Crawford and Joe Panik.

      They finally realize that they need a bat to backup Crawford, not just another glove.

      Ha. I read the article title and had the exact same though … FINALLY. Not sure why they seemed to protect and hold onto him for as long as they did.

    OBJECTION!

    Panik is hardly “stalwart.”

      Yup. Stalwart insinuates reliability. Until proven otherwise, Panik’s health is anything but reliable.

    One of his three career HR was a game winner against Mariano Rivera. That’s about the only lasting memory I’ll have of the guy. Versatile defender, not much of a hitter, couldn’t stay healthy. The Giants have better options.

      He ever once hit a home run off Rivera… I don’t know where your getting your facts just saying. He hit HR off Andy pettite, Ryan dull and Kershaw.

    All glove, no stick. Good to see the Giants move on from so many of the players (Pagan, Blanco, Adrianza, etc) whose production was modest at best.

    Adrianza was a punk and had a horrible attitude, not sure what took Sabeans/Evans so long

    Bummed to see him go. His bat really lit up when he was given the chance to start every day.
