Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
Yesterday, the A’s plucked Royals first baseman and outfielder Brent Rooker from the scrap heap. Rooker was DFA’d by the Royals earlier in the week.
The A's have claimed Brent Rooker off waivers from the Royals. Big power numbers in the minors haven't translated yet in limited big-league time. Hit 28 HRs in 81 Triple-A games last season.

Steve Adams at MLB Trade Rumors detailed Rooker’s history in pro baseball, which Melissa Lockard sums up pretty nicely in her above tweet.
