On the majr league level the Padres knew theyd be forced to hold on to every prospect who showed anything at all in spring training. Just what was left, then, as a source of personnel for the 1970 Salt Lake team? Only the young players who made up the San Diegos Class AA team at Elmira the year before. As it turned out, practically none of those players from Elmira were ready for Class AAA ball.

Even before the Angels signed their working agreement with Salt Lake their Clars AAA roster was somewhat set. 44-9- Roster Almost Set Acting farm club and scouting director Tom Class Sommers had compiled a tentative Salt to made first his AAA roster when he trip locatof the Angels k&ke to discuss the possibility ing here.

You can just stand here and watch them become skiers. Paul Gundersen observed. One Gundersen, himself a skier, seemed content to spend some of his valuable time watching the progress of the Deseret Neu's Ski School.
