"Jim comes to Detroit this season with Eddie Robinson and Jack Crimian for Ned Garver and Virgil Trucks by way of a big trade with Kansas City.
Before becoming a rookie sensation with the A's in 1954, Jim compiled a fine .303 batting mark in four minor league seasons. In 1949 he led the Western Association in hits, triples and fielding. At Binghamton in '53, he was the top man in doubles and was promoted to the A's the following season."
