Lands MiLB deal with Giants
Schafer agreed to a minor-league deal with the Giants on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
ANALYSIS
The former outfielder was in camp with the Cardinals this spring, but he was released in late March. Schafer did undergo elbow surgery a year ago, but this seems like a relatively low-risk move for San Francisco. The southpaw will likely report to Triple-A to act as organizational depth.

Schafer revived his career after joining the Twins on a waiver claim in August and figures to contend for the starting center field job this spring. He wasn't used much in a reserve role with the Braves and didn't hit when he got a chance (.163/.256/.213). In 41 games with Minnesota, he hit .285 with 15 stolen bases in 20 attempts. Schafer didn't show much power (.362 slugging) and his newfound success at the plate was just over 147 at-bats, but he was an asset on defense. As a result, he could be the type of veteran player with a good glove the Twins need in center field until Byron Buxton is ready for the majors. Even if Schafer is used in a reserve role, he'll have fantasy value given his ability to steal bases.
