SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants acquired All-Star infielder Eduardo Nunez from the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night in exchange for a minor league pitcher.Nunez was batting .296 with 12 home runs and 47 RBI this season for the Twins and was leading the American League with 27 steals at the time of the trade.The move adds some much-needed depth to San Franciscos injury-plagued infield.Second baseman Joe Panik was activated off the disabled list prior to the Giants game against Washington on Thursday, while third baseman Matt Duffy remains out with a strained left Achilles. Backup infielder Ehire Adrianza has also been sidelined since mid-April with a ft injury.Just to have a guy that has his experience, has served in that role in the past and done well and is off to a gd start this season, we just feel like he can help us cover the tracks as we get 100 percent healthy and get Duffy and Panik back, Giants general manager Bobby Evans said. It allows us to have the ability to still give them some rest even down the stretch as we enter these last couple of months.Nunez, a career .275 hitter, is likely to play third base until Duffy -- who could possibly begin a rehab assignment this weekend -- returns. Nunez started 28 games there this season for the Twins while also splitting time at shortstop.Evans was adamant that the Giants arent planning to replace Duffy with Nunez. The Giants second-year general manager said he spoke with Duffy and assured him his spot in the lineup is secure.Well have to follow some return-to-play plan with Matt, that may be an extra day off or two off a week when he first gets back which will give Nunez a chance to play then, Evans said. Otherwise itll be as we would use any utility infield help. As we lk at the rest of the season we just want to have the protection of his experience given the time that these guys have missed and the time they may need to have off as we get down the stretch.San Francisco sent minor league pitcher Adalberto Mejia to the Twins in exchange for Nunez.Cheap Shoes China .

And like the defenses he faces, even he is unsure exactly what hell be asked to do each week.Last year I was doing so much stuff, he said in an interview with The Associated Press, like every position almost.Officially, North Carolina State lists Samuels at tight end and fullback, and last years first-team Associated Press all-ACC selection came at tight end. But the 5-ft-11, 223-pound rising junior from Charlotte lined up just about everywhere -- in the backfield for handoffs or passes to the flat, in the slot for routes or for end-around runs -- to create matchup problems on the way to scoring a combined 16 rushing and receiving touchdowns.He did that while at times splitting his position meetings or film study between the tight ends and the running backs. And he spent practices knowing his role could fluctuate based on injuries or gameflow.Now hes working on improving his blocking and conditioning to stay on the field even longer this fall.Every week I just try to go hard at everything I do, catching, running, Samuels said. Its making sure I work on my craft every day so I could be ready for Saturday, but Im not going to know what to expect. Im just going to have to go out there and try to make a play.He finished with 56 rushes for 368 yards and nine touchdowns to go with 65 catches for 597 yards and seven scores -- a rate that had him reaching the end zone every 7.dddddddddddd.6 times he touched the ftball.His father, Greg, pointed to his son playing multiple sports from an early age -- bouncing between ftball, basketball, baseball and track while often competing against older kids -- to explain Jaylens versatility.You cant describe what it is, but you can just say, `That kids got a gift, Greg Samuels said. And we just had to keep fine-tuning it. . What you see now is just a combination of multiple sports that a young man played at a high level, and hes just excelled at it.The challenge of finding the right workload for Samuels now falls to new offensive crdinator Eli Drinkwitz.Samuels had a huge game against eventual national runner-up Clemson (14 touches, 139 yards, two touchdowns), but he had just three other games with 10 touches. He had four touches -- he still scored twice -- in 41 plays during the Belk Bowl loss to Mississippi State.I dont know what the magic number is, but you know, youd like to say around 10, said Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren, now entering his fourth year. Get him the ball 10 times a game because he has a way of making plays, man.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college ftball site at tball.ap.org" target="_blank">http://collegeftball.ap.org ' ' '
