Vern returns from 2 years of Army Service to resume his promising pitching career. He was known as the "hard-luck" pitcher of the N.L. when he compiled a 7-9 record in '50 and 6-9 in '51. Vern 'came to the Pirates in mid-1950 after a 6-4 record and 2.67 ERA at New Orleans. In '49 he was 5-11 at Davenport but had a 2.94 ERA and Struck Out 123 batters.
With his ability to share grounders in the hole and make strong throws to first, Bocock is a highly valued shortstop in the Giants system. On offense, he held a .526 OBP over his first five ML games in 2008.
Roy is one of baseball's finest catchers. A hand injury which necessitated an operation hampered Roy greatly in 1954, so that his .207 batting average for 111 games is not a fair indication of his abilities with a bat. The preceding year saw him hit a fine .312, and lead the league in runs batted in with 142. He was named the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1953. He also received the award in 1951. Defensively he's great.
