| Breaking News |  | PCL News: Free Agents File
Sunday, November 5th, 1922: Today is the first day of the free agency period.
With the arrival of free agency comes the opportunity for each club across Pacific Coast League to propel themselves into the playoffs simply by making a few shrewd, well-calculated signings. General managers have to choose wisely where to spend their dollars. An expensive signing could be the key to a playoff spot or it could handcuff a franchise for years to come.
This year's key free agents include:
1. Clarance Chatman, 31 year-old first baseman
2. Baby Doll Jacobson, 31 year-old center fielder
3. Willie Hanley, 32 year-old second baseman
4. Erastus Sherry, 30 year-old first baseman
5. Al Scheer, 33 year-old left fielder
6. Tomas Moyer, 29 year-old starting pitcher
7. Nat Edgar, 26 year-old left fielder
8. Braggo Roth, 29 year-old right fielder
9. Lafayette Sawyer, 29 year-old starting pitcher
10. Wesley Hay, 32 year-old left fielder
Each GM has a different approach to free agency. Many fans enjoy this off-season maneuvering just as much as the regular season as they watch to see how the face of their team changes over the next several months. |

In a mid-afternoon press conference, Esposito was trotted out to answer a flurry of questions from the startled media. Asked if he could handle the job, Esposito responded testily, "That's why they hired me. I know the team has issues, but look around the Pacific Coast League and show me a team that doesn't."
