Last week, the San Francisco Giants signed another familiar face, bringing back first-round draft pick from 2008, Conor Gillaspie, on a minor league contract with a Spring Training invitation. The Giants’ roster looked mostly set heading into the exhibition period, but the addition of Gillaspie could throw a wrench into those plans.
Manager Bruce Bochy and the Giants’ front office are very familiar with the now 28-year-old Gillaspie. He was the 37th overall pick in the 2008 draft, and that season made it to the big league roster after just six games with the Rookie League Arizona Giants and 18 games with the Low-A Salem-Keizer Volcanoes.
