Back in mid-November, the Giants agreed to terms on a minor league deal with Kyle Blanks.
On Tuesday, San Francisco announced that 21 players will be in camp as non-roster invitees, and Blanks is one of them.
"I've always liked him," Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow said on KNBR 680 on Wednesday morning. "First of all, I don't like tall hitters. I just don't. They have too much strike zone to cover and normally their swings are too long. And Kyle Blanks is 6'7".
