The Giants re-signed outfielder Justin Christian to a minor league deal after he cleared waivers, Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com tweets. The Giants had designated Christian for assignment eight days ago.
Christian appeared in 18 games for the 2011 Giants, playing all three outfield positions. The 31-year-old has just 94 MLB plate appearances to his name, but he owns a .293/.359/.432 line in nine minor league seasons.
Giants are glad that they’ll have the power of JC on their side.
It’s a minor league deal. Sure, Sabean’s not feeding Christian to the lions, but are Grizzlies really any better?

He did well in the big leagues last year. Good to know he is still around.
