Former Atlanta Brave Marcus Giles will join his brother Brian on the Padres when he's introduced as San Diego's new second baseman at a press conference at PETCO Park sometime today.
Marcus Giles, who was expected to complete his physical on Tuesday the 19th, will reportedly get a base salary of $3.2 million this season with incentives that could take his contract to $4.25 million. The club option for 2008 is for $4 million.
Marcus Giles, who was over run by injuries last year, batted .262 with 11 home runs, 60 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. In the 2003 season, his first as a full-time starter, Giles batted .316 with 21 home runs and 69 RBIs and made the All-Star team. Giles has a .285 career average with 72 home runs in 2,514 at-bats and a .361 on-base percentage.
