The Giants signed infielder Alex Blandino to a minor league deal with a spring training invitation(BTW, I was under the impression that spring training invites could not be part of minor league deals during the lockout, but that is apparently not the case).
Alex Blandino IF. DOB: 11/6/1992. B-R, T-R. 6'0", 190 lbs.
Majors(3 seasons): .226/.339/.291.
2017(AA/AAA): .265/..382/.453, 12 HR, 473 PA.
2021(AAA): .102/.289/.153, 76 PA.
Alex Blandino was drafted #29 overall by the Reds in 2014 out of Stanford. Early in his pro career he showed extreme selectivity and patience at the plate with decent pop. Unfortunately the power eventually cratered although he still draws a lot of walks along with the accompanying K's. He has played all 4 IF positions so could be useful as a utility guy if any semblance of power showed up again. Another project for the Giants coaching team.
Sacramento depth signing as you mentioned they would need when you did your organizational position breakdown. Another swiss army knife as preferred by the FO.
