I have been doing some reseach for a friend....long story...anyway, when looking at the Reds of 1975 stats, Clay Carroll's numbers are really good. ERA in the mid 2's. For some reason he was traded for a pitcher (Rich Hinton) who never had any real success..majors or minors. Also, included was a minor league catcher (Jeff Sovern). I can't find any stats on Mr. Sovern, but it doesn't appear he had any success either.
Why would a team trade a player like Carroll for next to nothing? Anybody got any info?
