According to MLBTradeumors.com, the Giants reached an agreement with Juan Uribe, tweets SI's Jon Heyman. The deal is pending a physical.
This could move Mark DeRosa's bat into the OF more times than not and upgrade the anemic offensive production that came from the Giants OF's last year.
Uribe and DeRosa certainly give Bochy great flexibility defensively as both players carry many gloves in their bag. Uribe was also the Giants most productive bat in the lineup after Sandoval for a great part of 2009.
Looks like that crosses a Dan Uggla deal off the to-do list (good). Matt Holliday likely moves off the list after the Jason Bay signing (too rich for even Mr. Sabean).
Other than a veteran catcher to provide insurance in the event Buster Posey starts the year in AAA, the Giants could pretty much stand pat.
