Gerardo Parra Lands With Giants
6 years agoThe San Francisco Giants signed free-agent outfielder Gerardo Parra to a minor league deal on Tuesday, according to sources. Parra, 32 in May, hit .284/.342/.372 with six home runs, 53 RBI and 11 stolen bases as a platoon player in his final season in Colorado in 142 games. He makes decent contact and can hit for a high average, but Parra doesn't have much pop (career-high 14 homers in 2015) and isn't that great defensively. He'll have a decent shot at playing time in San Fran, but the move from hitter-friendly Coors Field to a much more pitching-friendly park will hurt him. He's strictly depth in NL-only leagues if he wins a roster spot.
