SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Trying to make a good first impression for his new team is nothing new to Gorkys Hernandez.
The 28-year-old Giants outfield hopeful was traded twice before reaching the Major Leagues in 2012, and he has been dealt twice since then as well. Hernandez was then signed twice and released twice -- with some time in the Mexican League sprinkled in.
Put simply, there are journeymen, and then there's Hernandez, who probably epitomizes the term as well as any 28-year-old could.
But Hernandez -- once a highly touted prospect -- has kept a positive mindset through it all, harkening back on his brief time spent in the Majors as motivation.
