This Weeks Major Transactions

The California Angels have traded RP Hoyt Wilhelm and RP Bob Priddy to the Atlanta Braves for Clint Compton and Mickey Rivers. The 47 year old Wilhelm is 3-4 with 6 saves, a 3.99 ERA in 37 games (49 IPs) for the Angels. A late bloomer, Wilhelm did not start his MLB career until he was 29. Wilhelm's knuckle-ball is partially responsible for his longevity. But military toughness could be another reason. He carried a piece of shrapnel in his back as a result of an injury he sustained during WWII. The 29 year old Priddy is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 1 appearance for the Angels. The Angels got back CF Mickey Rivers who will make his debut in the MLB next season and RP Clint Compton who will make his debut with the Cubs in 1972.
