Pat Burrell likely to join Giants on Friday

Pat Burrell is "likely" to join the Giants in Pittsburgh, according to CSN Bay Area's Mychael Urban.

Burrell, 33, was inked to a minor league contract last week and the Giants already believe that he can help their struggling offense. He's unlikely to start many games in the outfield, but could be a nice late-inning presence off the bench in possible RBI situations. John Bowker is likely to be demoted.
