It is reported that the Giants have signed Tony Pena Jr. to a Minor League contract, adding that Pena would earn a base salary of $650,000 if he spends all of the 2010 season in the Majors. Pena, who is the son of former All-Star catcher Tony Pena, was once viewed as the Royals' shortstop of the future, but he compiled just a .228 batting average in four big league seasons in Atlanta and Kansas City. Then he became a right-handed reliever for part of the 2009 season striking out 18 and walking six in 19 1/3 innings.
Pena became a free agent after the season and is now pitching for Aguilas of the Dominican Winter League. Well we will not see him playing in giants jersey for a period of time.
