The San Francisco Giants were at it again on Friday with a waiver claim of Baltimore Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard.
Rickard, 28, was a ninth-round pick out of the University of Arizona by the Tampa Bay Rays back in the 2012 draft. His ceiling at the time looked like a solid fourth outfielder and his development backed that up. He never hit for much power with a career .397 slugging percentage in the minors, but took advantage of an advanced approach and his good speed to get on base at a .386 clip during his time in the minors.
