The San Francisco Giants added Melky Cabrera and Angel Pagan over the winter, but they really needed to get a power hitter. The rest of the players they have brought in so far this winter are minor league free agents. Here is a look at the new faces:

In the field: Outfielders Angel Pagan and Melky Cabrera came to the Giants in separate deals over the winter. The Giants hope that Pagan and Cabrera can add some juice to the lineup while playing solid defense in LF and CF. Gregor Blanco (OF) and Joaquin Arias (IF) will try to win jobs on the Giants’ bench this spring.

On the mound: The Giants have an outstanding pitching staff set up for 2012. They have only signed lefty Brian Burres and righties Eric Hacker and Boof Bonser to compete for spots on the pitching staff in 2012. I see all three of them starting the 2012 season in AAA-ball.

Overall: The Giants added some offense and defense in the deals with the Mets (Angel Pagan) and Royals (Melky Cabrera). It will be interesting to see if they did enough this winter to get back to the playoffs in 2012.
