The Giants have signed outfielder Jerry Sands to a minor league contract, Mike Ashmore of MyCentralJersey.com reports. Sands had been playing for the independent Somerset Patriots, and the 29-year-old will now head to the Giants’ Double-A affiliate.
Sands has only a .670 OPS over 464 plate appearances with the Dodgers, Rays, Indians and White Sox during his big league career, though the right-handed hitter has produced a very solid .285/.335/.477 slash line against lefty pitching. Much of Sands’ experience comes in the corner outfield slots and he has a handful of games at first base, so he brings a bit of defensive versatility.
Sands is the latest veteran outfielder signed by the Giants as the team tries to fix an already-thin outfield that has been further hampered by several injuries. San Francisco has added the likes of Melvin Upton Jr., Drew Stubbs and Justin Ruggiano on minors deals, with little impact (Upton underwent wrist surgery and Ruggiano was recently designated for assignment). Hunter Pence’ imminent return from the DL will be a big help for the Giants, but with left field still a question mark, there is certainly opportunity for Sands to return to the majors.
so no one made this dude into a power bench option on the show? y’all need SIE San Diego. or whatever.

Nice. Posted twice and still makes no sense.
my mouse is messed up. don’t act like the comment section is a room full of pro scouts.
If you have a messed up mouse, head to Best Buy or Amazon to rectify. A mouse is rather important to making clear points. Also consider what’s wrong with your keyboard.
That comment doesn’t get rave reviews
Its not that it was a grammar mistake. We just have no idea what tf you are saying
It was clear as daylight! The commentator merely suggested the SIE San Diego* is an essential part of daily life in the modern age from which all posters on this forum could surely benefit, and it’s bewildering to the common person that no team has yet converted Jerry Sands into a power hitter on a major league roster bench**. The poster then expresses ambivalence towards the whole theory, and postulates that other possibilities exist.***
*I have no idea what this is.
** Or what this means.
*** Or what these could be.
Giants are a mess.
How many teams does this make for Sands now ????
Pretty much “Every team”….and a few teams more than once……LOL
Better question, how many left fielders does this make for SF now ?
The “throw s**t against the wall” tactic isn’t working so well this year.
He was part of the Hanrahan deal that brought Joel to Boston. Great deal for the Bucs.

Giants need to make some moves , bring in some young talent…… no help here…..
