April 7 1967
Sent C Clay Dalrymple Rule 5 pick back to Braves. There was a big drop in his defensive rating during spring training and Jay Porter hits a bit better.
April 10 1967
Steve Blass and Woodie Fryman made the team for the first time as the first two out of the pen. Put RP Dick Hall on waivers. IF Bob Johnson acquired in trade made the team. Dick Schofield wouldn't accept demotion so he's on waivers. IF Gene Michael is out of options and on waivers.
Experts expect a fourth place finish. We have MLBs highest payroll. I sure hope we were over rated last year and under rated this year. I think the got it right last year and we blew it. This year I think we're not a fourth place team but maybe not a close contender.
