Giants GM Brian Sabean added a veteran baseball man to his staff Monday, hiring Tony Siegle as senior adviser of baseball operations.

This will be the third stint with San Francisco for Siegle, who worked for the club from 1990-94 starting as director of minor league operations and then vice president of baseball administration and operations. He also worked for the Giants briefly in 2001.

"His experience and relationships in baseball are truly uncommon," Sabean said.
