Giants add veteran infielder Aaron Hill

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- On the first day of full-squad workouts, the Giants added one more player to the backup-infielder mix.

Veteran Aaron Hill joined camp on a minor league deal Friday, a source confirmed.

Hill will make $2 million if he is on the big league roster, per Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.

Hill, 34, is a 12-year veteran who had a mixed season in 2016. He hit .280 with eight homers and a .780 OPS for the Brewers but batted just .218 after a trade to the Red Sox. Hill has played second, short and third, and he'll add another versatile glove to a crowded group of non-roster invitees looking to win a bench job.
