Sorry, but things had to be done.

1. Fresh off his impressive offensive showing in 1963, Felix Mantilla became prime trade bait and the San Francisco Giants bit, exchanging 25-year-old pitching prospect Gaylord Perry. Pitching has been woeful for us and this is a huge step in the right direction, a pattern we hope to build on in the upcoming draft.

2. DFAd SP Roger Craig, 3B Charlie Neal and CF Richie Ashburn. All three - at their age - are not in our long-term plans. Plus, no one was interested in trading for any of them.

3. Pitcher Herb Moford joined 1B Gil Hodges in annoucing his retirement.

With that, prep for the draft and move some pieces around in the minor leagues. Called up SS Buddy Harrelson, CF Reggie Smith and SP Dick Selma for last month of regular season just to let them know we see them in our near future. All three will start in Single A Salinas.
