PBA News and Notes:
The Washington Senators
signed 3 free agents in Wish Egan (2 year $4,220), CF Solly
Hoffman (2 year $2,880), and CF Ed Bruyette (2 year, $2,940).
None of these guys will set the world on fire, but the
Senators hope they can fill a specific slot on the team.
Egan has the best chance of stepping and making an immediate
impact for the franchise. Then, four days later they
sign RF Jimmy Sebring for 2 years for a total of $3,160.
Sebring has the ability to winning a batting title if he can
catch a break or two.
In perhaps even bigger
news, the Senators signed SP Al Orth to a new deal for 2
years and $3,160. This contract for Orth seems to be a
very good deal for the A's, although many owners were scared
away by his age. The A's responded with their own
news by signing 2b Miller Huggins to a 2 year deal for
$6,920. Huggins is a well respected 2 bagger, but he has
yet to put all his talent together in Chicago and produce that
outstanding season everyone knows he has in him. Time
will tell if the change of scenery will help.
