Jack Coombs seems to be a victim of "what have you done for me latley" Syndrom. The 36yr old Pitcher put up All-Star caliber numbers last year but was shelled in his only outing this year giving up 9er in just 3ip against Washington.Along side Coombs on the train will be MR Ferdie Schuup a player who has yet to live up to his potential.


Boston hopes Rube becomes a double threat to go along with Ruth, O'Doul and Kinney.


Rube Bressler is 1-1 this year with a 5.25 era and comes over with MR Larry Jacobus a 2nd year player with an up side, Rube is the type of player Boston Brass really likes and if he developes will be a very formidable player both on the mound and in the OF, Bressler is a very capable LF/RF as well as a starter.
