The Giants have re-signed outfielder Pat Burrell to a one-year contract, club Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Sabean announced today.
Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The 34-year-old began the 2010 campaign with Tampa Bay, but was signed by the Giants to a minor league contract in May and turned out to be one of the key acquisitions made by San Francisco in their World Series run, hitting .266 (77-for-289) with 18 home runs and 51 RBI in 96 contests. His 18 home runs since joining the Giants on May 29 were the most in a season for a Giants player who had played for another team earlier that year. Burrell was in his second year of a two-year contract with Tampa Bay and hit .202 (17-for-84) with two home runs and 13 RBI in 24 games with the Rays. With San Francisco, he led the team with an average of 4.22 pitches per plate appearance and ranked second on the team with 47 walks and a .364 on-base pct.
