The Giants are claiming outfielder off waivers from the Rangers, as first reflected on the MLB.com . Texas designated the speedster for a signment over the weekend. San Francisco already had an opening on their 40-man roster, so they wont need Ernie Whitt Jersey to make a corresponding move until Hill reports to the team. Texas signed Hill, a former first-round pick of the Tigers, to a minor league deal over the winter. They gave him a pair of stints on the big league roster. He connected on three home runs in 16 games, though he also struck out 14 times while drawing only two walks. The 28-year-old has had an excellent season in Triple-A, hitting .350/.415/.631 with eight home runs through 176 plate appearances. Hill can play all three outfield positions. He hasnt hit much at the MLB level, running a .232/.280/.334 line over parts of five seasons. Hes a career .300/.360/.502 hitter over 224 Triple-A contests, making him an intriguing depth piece. Hill has exhausted his minor league options, so the Giants will need to keep him on the big league roster or designate him for a signment themselves moving forward. David Wells Jersey
