Drafts Shine For A's And Pirates In 1955 MLB Draft
United Press reports the 1955 major league draft saw the A's invest heavily with Arnold Johnson’s moneyed rebuild buying three pitchers for $35,000. The Pirates selected one player, outfielder Roberto Clemente, with Branch Rickey snagging a bargain pickup. Overall, 40 of 16 clubs made picks, totaling $122,500 for 18 players, a small haul compared with star-player prices today. Dale Andreason will add selections by midnight as clubs finalize their choices.
