Nothing to lose but probably not much to gain either. Seems expensive for a back up but at least he is capable. Expected more of him in Boston but it was a small sample size. He just did nothing there to warrant not PT.
Jerry Maguire
Why not…they’re paying $2.5M for Hundly to back up Posey…Brown appeared in 50 games last year, probably 1/3 of that catching, the other pinch hitting….so blow the money, why not!

Really wanted him back in Boston to battle it out with Rutledge for the backup 3B job and leave Hernandez in Pawtucket for depth, but oh well. Wish him the best, have always been a fan of his.

Interesting pick up for the Giants. If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. But if he sticks at 3rd, it gives Giants more flexibility with Nunez. He can move back into his super utility role that he’s so good at and even possibly fill the void in LF if Parker, Williamson, and Morse don’t work out. Giants should have some fun competition in this Spring Training.

I think that the giants are looking for a primary or at least platoon at third because nunez has primarily been in the past a utility guy and want him to fill that position that adrianza was supposed to fill but never panned out

What happen toConor Gillespie I’m aCub/ White Sox fan and he was great doing the playoffs?
jmgara
He’s to platoon with Nuñez against RH pitching, in theory.

Hill was pretty good for a half season for the Brewers last year: .283/.359/.421 .780 ops in almost 300 plate appearances. He started slow, but hit into a lot of hard outs. He didn’t get regular playing time in Boston so hard to judge him there.

Good veteran clubhouse guy. I think he will break camp w/ the big boys.

Good depth. Giants are making the bench more of a competive approach since many players in the lineup are locked in for another couple years.

I reeeeeaally hope this means that they’re going to give Kelby more of a chance in the outfield because their lack of confidence in giving him a back up infielder position is a mystery
freaky55
No mystery. Kelby kinda sucks.
The Oregonian
Hwang, Tomlinson, Gillaspie, Rollins, Beckham, Hill, Morse, Querecuto. Two IF bench spots. Spring Training should be interesting.

Knowing the Giants luck with these guys, Hill will hit .300/.400/.500 in the playoffs and win NLCS MVP or something. Smh

After reading this, I’m not sure about Nunez in the outfield google.com/amp/www.mccoveychronicles.com/platform/…

I think he is a good option to platoon with one of the left handed outfielders. He could play third against lefties and have nunez shift to left field.
