Lewis Brinson arrives to SF Giants with fresh perspective
SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants have a history of plucking struggling outfielders from the minor leagues and turning them into bonafide big leaguers. They helped bring Mike Yastrzemski and LaMonte Wade Jr. from minor league obscurity to major contributors on a 100-win team last season.
The Giants acquired Brinson, 28, from the Houston Astros on Thursday and added him to the expanded 28-man roster. He was on hand and at his new locker, though not in the lineup for Friday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He came with a goal not to “try to impress anybody,” and a fresh perspective.
As a prospect, Brinson was touted as a speedy and athletic outfielder. But he struggled at the plate. He was traded to his hometown Miami Marlins in the blockbuster deal that sent Christian Yelich to the Milwaukee Brewers and never hit above .226 in four seasons with the Marlins.
