SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Chase d'Arnaud knows the rush of performing at a high level and holding a crowd spellbound until it bursts into applause.
Doubly lucky -- and talented -- d'Arnaud can derive that sensation not just from playing baseball, but also as a guitarist and lead singer for his eponymous band.
A non-roster invitee to the Giants' Spring Training camp who's competing for a utility role, d'Arnaud possesses enough athleticism to have played parts of six seasons in the Major Leagues. His ability to carry a tune earned him a gig as the opening act for Lady Antebellum and brought him to the stage at Bonnaroo, the annual four-day summer music festival in Manchester, Tenn.
