Juan C. Perez

After making the Giants' Opening Day roster, Perez was optioned to Triple-A on four occasions in 2014, collecting a larger share of his at-bats with the Grizzlies around his sporadic opportunities when injuries struck the big club. Perez has earned a reputation for being a good defender thanks to his plus-plus speed, but he hasn't hit big-league pitching yet in parts of two seasons with inconsistent at-bats (career .212/.261/.307). He has nothing left to prove at Triple-A, however, with a career .299/.339/.479 line with 17 home runs and 25 steals at the level through two seasons (149 games). A similar role is likely for Perez in 2015, but the best-case scenario for playing time would be an opportunity to carve out a start or two against lefties as part of a platoon.

Perez played his way into a major league opportunity after slashing .291/.323/.466 with 10 homers and 18 stolen bags in 409 plate appearances with Triple-A Fresno. Those numbers didn't translate to the majors as he only hit one home run and stole two bases with a below-average strikeout rate (21.6 K%) in 97 plate appearances with the Giants. Perez exhibited excellent defense and made several impressive grabs in left field, so his time in the majors wasn't a complete bust. He could serve as the right-handed side of the platoon in left field should the Giants opt not to sign a free agent at that position this offseason.
