"If those two pitchers are sound then the Giants are going to be tough to beat next year," Dres sen said.

He said St. Louis wanted shortstop Johnny Logan, second baseman Chuck Cottier, and pitcher Bob Buhl for Blasin game and shortstop Alex Grammas. Everybody advertises we re looking for a second baseman so jthey try to hold you up on the deal," Dressen said. Need Infielder He said the Braves need an in fielder rather than giving up one.
