Pirates Pose Threat to Pennant With Ed Brandt
National League circles view the Pittsburgh Pirates as a pennant threat led by pitching added by Lefty Ed Brandt. Dan Daniel notes Brandt could bolster a 17 win season, citing 1936 Pirates as punchy with Paul Waner topping hitting charts and Traynor seeking a left hander. Del Baker praised for signal snatching, with Salsinger noting third base coaching is unforgiving but vital.
