Drafted in 1st round, 3rd overall pick, by Philadelphia in 1958...
Never really did live up to big billing, although it did net Philly Abraham Arsenault in trades. NOw playing out the string in Baltimore as the #4 or so starter.

The guy can field, hit, an is starting to come into his own. A great pickup and a worthy looking successor to Mo Lutske in Boston.

Biggest claim to fame was being part of the Liebermann and Arziuv trades. Now warming the bench in AAA for St. Louis and probably not getting much higher.

The quintisential Mr. Brave, he's turned around a career that originally had many saying he was brought up to the bigs two years too soon. Looks to be a great power source for the retooling team.

Two twenty game seasons, in cluding an unreal performance last year, and a WS ring already, and here's one reason why the Tigers are renewing that old feeling of woe and dread in the AL. A great future awaits for this lad.

He can field like anything, but his lack of hitting prowess has kept him in the minors. With Trome and friends ahead of him, he's now playing for the Indians AAA team. When he'll see the light of the majors is anyone's guess.

Looking to not become a footnote in two big trades (Earl Taylor and Ennie Vancini), scouts are raving about his great contact and power, and if he keeps this pace up, they could materialize. He's already got the Braves so convinced they shipped off their started Mike Brennan. that's a vote fo confidence anyone can enjoy.

Almost an afterthough in the draft, hes picked up his game considerably. Three twenty game seasons and now back in Baltimore to replace De La Garza. A very promising future for this lad indeed.
It's intresting to see how well they've done a few years later.
