This week, not only did the San Francisco Giants pick up more outfield depth in Gerardo Parra, but they went and got Craig Gentry as well. Gentry is a 35 year old outfield journeyman, with good defense and speed.
I get it, he’s not Bryce Harper, in fact he’s the complete opposite of him. That’s not meant to be an insult to the type of game he brings to the table, but rather a testament to what the Giants are attempting to do. Depth is the name of the game right now as the Giants endure a revamp of their entire system, and this fits right in with another low-risk minor league signing.
