Gustine Trade Boosts Bockman Prospects for Pirates
Frank T. Blair reports that Pittsburgh traded Third Baseman Frank Gustine to the Chicago Cubs, possibly opening the door for Long Beach star Eddie Bockman to become the Pirates third baseman next season. Bockman, rated an American Association All-Star, is praised for hustle and speed, though he lacks power. The piece notes Cliff Chambers’ role and lingering questions about the Pirates’ southpaw needs, with Chamber’s Cubs stint contrasted by his potential return.
