Giants Designate Corban Joseph For Assignment

By George Miller | September 14, 2019 at 4:54pm CDT

The Giants made a number of roster moves today, with Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group reporting that the club has designated infielder Corban Joseph for assignment. Taking his spot on the 40-man roster will be Cristhian Adames, who had his contract selected. He’ll be joined on the Major League roster by Mike Gerber, who was also promoted.

After the Giants claimed him off waivers from the crosstown Athletics, Joseph only made 17 plate appearances with San Francisco, mustering lackluster numbers. He tallied a .180 OPS—albeit in just eight games—with the fourth organization of his career.

There’s a chance that number will grow to five, as rival teams will have a chance to claim Joseph on waivers, though he may be traded, released, or assigned outright if he goes unclaimed. He hasn’t yet gotten a real extended chance in the big leagues, as he hasn’t earned more than 57 plate appearances in a single season.

    When you are almost 31 and have 77 career at bats it might be time to think about getting a job coaching at a junior college somewhere.

    He was hitting in the low .100s . And his pinch hitting was just nothing…

    Farhan likes to move fast.

    Keep your head up. Didn’t get much of a shot but keep working hard and force another opportunity next year and take advantage when you get it.

    Hope they give Gerber a fair shot this time! They gave him all of 15 AB this year before sending him back down.

    Giants sure love DFAs. Do other teams use the DFA as much as they do?
