St. Louis Browns Offseason Recap:

The Browns traded 29-year-old OF Cal Abrams to Boston Beaneaters for 29-year-old 3B Bob Kennedy. Purely a depth move, as third base is definitely our weakest position!

Perhaps weakening the rotation, but upgrading at third base -- the Browns shipped 24-year-old starter Roscoe Miller to the Philadelphia Athletics for 27-year-old 3B Tom Tresh. While the Kennedy move was made to at least ensure depth, the third base situation was definitely in flux. The Browns still have young Ricky Bones who may provide something, or if not Flint Rhem, this years 3rd-round selection may be able to help in the rotation. At only 27, our scouts feel not only can Tresh contribute now, but down the road as well!

He was not pictured in the original active roster because of a major injury, but we also welcomed OF Ken Swartwood back from the 60-day disabled list in December.

We'll give you the overview on Opening Day with the next post!
