"Bob adds versatility to the Yankees' pitching staff in 1954 with his ability as both a starter and reliever.
He entered pro ball with eight victories at Butler of the Mid-Atlantic League in 1948. Bob won in double figures for the first time in his career with 10 victories at Norfolk in 1950. He compiled a 16-5 record with 118 strikeouts at Binghamton in 1951. He spent the 1952 and 1953 seasons in military service.
The Yankees envision him as a 20-game winner and Rookie of the Year candidate this season."
