Giants: Jamie Westbrook could be the surprise of spring training

The San Francisco Giants are thin on outfielders with a proven track record, and the upcoming spring training will prove to be an open competition for the fourth outfield role.

Minor league free agent signing Jamie Westbrook will be part of that competition, along with incumbents Jaylin Davis, Austin Slater, and Joey Rickard.

So who is Jamie Westbrook?

The Arizona Diamondbacks originally drafted him in the fifth round of the 2013 MLB draft out of Basha High School in Gilbert, Arizona.

The 24-year-old has spent his entire career in the Diamondbacks organization before electing to become a free agent this past offseason.
