That was an interesting set of deals. Spencer + $100 grand to the Angels for Bill Singer. Then the Melton deal. It looks like the White Sox got the better end of it, though Texas turned Singer into Bert Blyleven (though giving up Mike Cubbage and Roy Smalley). Melton and Dunning were done, really, and Spencer could still play.
ReplyDeleteThough if Jim Spencer is your primary power source, you may have some issues.
Despite it being an airbursh, it is the closest I have seen to Spencer actually in the old red uniforms.
