Red Sox Add Floyd Robinson for Pinch Hitting
Boston acquires Floyd Robinson from Oakland for left handed pinch hitting duties and releases veteran Norm Siebern who was used mainly in the same role. Robinson, 32, has hit over .300 several times, most recently in 1964, but waned in recent seasons and will be used mainly as a pinch hitter with possible limited defense. He played for Chicago from 1960 to 1966 and set a 1962 double record with six hits in six at bats against the Red Sox.
