The former top prospect was simply never able to put things together at the big league level, slashing .198/.246/.328 with 28 homers and 109 RBI over 1150 plate appearances across six seasons. Still only 28-years-old, there's a chance that a strong season overseas could springboard Brinson to another opportunity stateside.

Lewis Brinson has elected free agency.

The former top prospect was outrighted off of the Giants 40-man roster near the end of September after slashing a disappointing .167/.211/.472 with three homers, four RBI and a stolen base in 39 plate appearances. He's still only 28-years-old, so given his pedigree there will be teams still willing to take a chance on him -- though it'll have to come on a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training.

The one-time top prospect was designated for assignment on September 21, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as outfield depth for the Giants. The 28-year-old slashed an atrocious .167/.211/.472 across 39 plate appearances during his time in San Francisco.

Giants designated OF Lewis Brinson for assignment.

The Giants needed to free up a spot on the active roster for Jason Vosler on Wednesday and unfortunately for Brinson, he was the odd-man out this time around. The 28-year-old hit just .167/.211/.472 with three homers, four RBI and a 14/2 K/BB ratio in 39 plate appearances with the Giants. There's a chance that he'll attract interest on waivers.
