What Would the Sox Do With Giles?

Brian Giles is a good hitter but what could the Sox do with him? You can't play him ahead of Bay, Ellsbury, or Drew and the Sox have Coco to fill in the outfield. Buster Olney thinks it is just for insurance if Lowell stays hurt and Ortiz has more wrist issues. He is a nice bat to have on the bench for when rosters are expanded and could give some players a rest down the stretch to get ready for the post-season. The Sox have until the end of the day to finish a deal with San Diego and get Giles to agree to the trade.
