The San Francisco Giants have found a backup for franchise player Buster Posey behind the plate, agreeing to a one-year, $2-million deal with catcher Nick Hundley, the team announced Tuesday.

Hundley will likely supplant Trevor Brown - who appeared in 75 games for the Giants last season - as Posey's backup, giving the lineup an additional veteran presence who's familiar with the National League West. Hundley previously played for the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres.

The 33-year-old Hundley spent the past two seasons in Colorado, hitting 20 home runs while driving in 91 runs to go along with a .282/.330/.455 slash line in 706 plate appearances.

Over his nine-year career, Hundley owns a .250/.303/.404 slash line with 72 home runs and 305 RBIs.

In a corresponding move, the Giants will designate infielder Ehire Adrianza for assignment.
