San Francisco Giants

[edit]

Williams was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the first round of the 2007 Major League Baseball draft.[4] He played in the Giants organization until 2013 without making the majors.

Colorado Rockies

[edit]

On November 17, 2013, Williams signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies organization.[5] Williams was promoted to the major leagues for the first time on June 22, 2014, after Michael McKenry was placed on the bereavement list.[6] He made seven appearances for the Rockies, going 3-for-14 (.214) with one home run and three RBI.

On October 22, 2014, Williams was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.[7] He was designated for assignment alongside Michael Roth on November 20.[8] On November 25, Williams cleared waivers and was sent outright to the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees.[9]

On March 17, 2015, Williams was traded to the San Francisco Giants (the team who originally drafted him in the first round in 2007) in exchange for cash considerations.[10] He was assigned to the Double-A Richmond Flying Squirrels to begin the year. On September 6, the Giants added Williams to their active roster, due to an injury suffered by Andrew Susac.[11] He appeared in seven games for San Francisco, recording two hits and four walks in 14 plate appearances. On October 19, Williams was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats.[12]

He split the 2016 campaign between the Double–A Hartford Yard Goats and Triple–A Albuquerque Isotopes, hitting .199/.265/.263 with one home run and 20 RBI across 68 total games. Williams elected free agency following the season on November 7, 2016.[13]
