Say what you will about the San Francisco Giants, but there is one thing they are unquestionably the best in the league at: signing local players. No one does it better than the Giants, who have once again dipped into the local market. According to a report from Robert Murray, the Giants have signed outfielder Stephen Piscotty, who is the holy quaternity of local: born in Pleasanton, played high school ball at Amador Valley High School, played college ball at Stanford, and played professionally for the Oakland A’s.
Sources: Outfielder Stephen Piscotty and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a minor-league contract.
