Elephant Rumblings: Piscotty Deal Nears Finish Line, Rule Five Draft Claims Graves

For A’s fans who are concerned about seeing Shrock in a potential deal: he’s pretty far down the depth chart now with additions of Mateo/Neuse last year, and obviously Barreto already there.

One thing I've loved to see all day and evening: Cardinals fans have been so supportive of team sending Piscotty home to the Bay Area, where his ailing mother lives. Really restores some faith in humanity. Really well done by St. Louis.
