San Francisco Giants add another infielder

leave a comment »

With the San Francisco Giants dipping into the free-agent pool to pick up utility player Mark DeRosa on Tuesday (he signed a two-year contract), it will be interesting to see how that might affect former Glendale Community College standout Freddy Sanchez.

San Francisco acquired Sanchez, a three-time all-star, in a trade in July from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Sanchez missed the last week of the season with a knee injury, but reportedly will be ready to go for spring training in February in Arizona.

DeRosa, who played last season with the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Cardinals, can play most infield positions.
