Schmitt, 26, batted .237 with 12 home runs and 40 RBIs playing 95 games for the Giants this year. He played 53 games at second base, 26 at third and 18 at first. The club missed the playoffs for a fourth straight season and fired manager Bob Melvin, replacing him with University of Tennessee coach Tony Vitello.
