According to the Post of August 3rd, the Pirates received outfielder
Mike Brown, 25; pitcher Pat Clements, 23, and another young player "who
will not be identified until until he clears waivers". Sorry, no updates.

As of trade time,

  <-----Brown		.268 BA in 60 games
  ----->Hendrick   	.230 BA in 69 games	age 35

  <-----Clements	5-0, 1 save, 3.34 ERA in 41 games
  ----->Candelaria	2-4, 9 saves, 3.64 ERA in 37 games	age 31
  ----->Holland		1-4, 5 saves, 3.45	age 31


As my friend Ed said:
"Who knows how things might turn out? It could be good for the Pirates,
and then again the Angels might clean up. It's hard to say...."
