Milwaukee Creams Ship Taylor to Oakland Tuesday, July 8th, 1997 According to BNN there were mixed emotions by the players involved in the trade between the Milwaukee Creams and the Oakland Athletics. As part of the deal, the Creams swapped 35-year-old minor league RHP Billy Taylor to the Athletics getting 25-year-old RHP Todd Van Poppel in return. The players indicated it was good to get a fresh new start in another city, but it was difficult to leave your friends on the old team. So far this season Taylor has 2 saves in 13 relief appearances with a 0-0 record and 3.52 ERA. This season-to-date, Van Poppel has fashioned a 8-4 mark and 4.94 ERA in 125.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .219 against him and he has logged 134 strikeouts. |
