Justin Maxwell, Casey McGehee, Nick Noonan, Jackson Williams

All of these players had some action with the Giants last year. Maxwell had the most success out of the group, but fell off after a pretty hot start. After signing with the Miami Marlins in the off-season, he hit .227 in 22 at bats before being released by the team.

McGehee signed with the Detroit Tigers in attempt to resurrect his Major League career. He had a decent spring, hitting .316 in 38 at bats, but was recently released by the Tigers.

Noonan and Williams were both signed to their respective teams as depth pieces in the minor leagues. Noonan hit .278 for the San Diego Padres before being reassigned, while Williams went back to the Colorado Rockies and hit .059 in 17 at bats. Both are likely September call ups if they are not with the club sooner than that.
