"Cletis is the third member of the Boyer family to make the big leagues. His brother Cloyd hurled for the A's in 1955 and another brother, Ken, is the star third baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals. Cletis never played any minor league ball and is being used for part-time duty while learning his way around major league baseball. He is a sure-handed fielder who can cover plenty of infield ground and has a fine arm."

"Billy will step right into the A's lineup after seeing part-time service with the Yankees in 1956. A fine fielder, he makes the difficult play look easy and covers plenty of ground in the infield.
Billy started at Three Rivers in '48 and led the Can-Am loop in putouts and fielding. At Fort Worth in '51, he was defense king of the Texas League and in '52 was tops in putouts and assists."
