San Francisco Giants: Who is waiver claim Aaron Altherr?

The San Francisco Giants continue to play the waiver wire more aggressively than any team in baseball.

Outfielder Aaron Altherr is the latest addition, as he was claimed from the Philadelphia Phillies after entering DFA limbo last weekend.

In a corresponding roster move, recently acquired right-hander Andrew Moore was designated for assignment to create room on the 40-man roster.

So who is the latest addition to the roster and what does he bring to the table?

Altherr, 28, was a ninth-round pick by the Phillies in 2009 out of Agua Fria High School in Arizona.
