With Juan Perez and Gary Brown being sent down Sunday, Maxwell appears to have won the battle for the fourth outfield spot on the Opening Day roster. Joining the Giants as a non-roster invitee this spring, Maxwell has slashed .302/.351/.509 with two homers, 10 RBI, and two stolen bases in 53 at-bats. He doesn't exhibit great plate discipline (13:4 K:BB ratio). but the club likes his power and speed combination from the right side of the plate. He will likely platoon with Gregor Blanco in right field and provide pop off the bench until Hunter Pence (forearm) returns.
