[新聞] Giants sign IF Uribe to minor league deal

[idioteque (radiohead)]

SAN FRANCISCO (TICKER) —The San Francisco Giants on Thursday signed veteran
infielder Juan Uribe to a minor league contract and invited him to spring
training.

After parting ways with ageless shortstop Omar Vizquel earlier in the offseason
and signing Edgar Renteria to play shortstop, the Giants were still without a
veteran presence to play second or third base.

Uribe, 29, could serve as a bridge to youngsters Emmanuel Burriss, Brian Bocock,
Connor Gillaspie, Pablo Sandoval, Kevin Fransden and Eugenio Velez if he makes
the team.

The Dominican Uribe hit .247 with seven homers and 40 RBI in 110 games with the
Chicago White Sox last season while logging time at third base, second base and
shortstop. He is a .253 career hitter with 111 homers in seven seasons with the
White Sox and Colorado Rockies.

推 JeremyKSKGA:Uribe的守備聽說是挺不錯的~~
推 Fignon:在幾個不同系統的守備數據裡，有理伯守SS從平均到倒數，
→ Fignon:守2B從平均以上到聯盟前矛，數據僅作參考，不過阿Ken去年跟
→ Fignon:前年不是一直想找人把他換掉？
推 Motownjunk:Pablo未必能全職3B,Burriss還得在3A磨,Uribe當備胎不賴
→ Motownjunk:只是他打擊實在退太多了
推 JeremyKSKGA: 那就只能期待他新球季打擊恢復水準吧...
