Braves Boss Would Make 1950 Trade Again
John Quinn, Giants and Braves deal architect, says he would repeat the 1950 trade tomorrow if the situation repeats. He credits Willard Marshall for power in the outfield and notes Eddie Stanky’s strong first year with the Braves, while predicting a possible dip in Stanky’s production with the Giants. Captain Pee Wee Reese declines a managerial role, and Dodger and Brooklyn scouting shifts are noted along with minor staff changes.
