Text | [describing Jack O'Brien, signed by the Athletics] ...Jack is a very strong batsman... As a first baseman he has in the previous years demonstrated first-class ability, and with practice he will doubtless rank with the best in that position. As a base-runner, though, he will not shine, being too heavy for that. O'Brien could also be utilized as a catcher or outfielder in case of emergency, but weakness in throwing would render him ineligible for a permanent place in any position but first base, where he will be quite at home. |
