"The Yankees knew that Fred Stanley had all the tools of a good shortstop and with that bit of knowledge, went out and obtained him from San Diego last fall in the hopes that he will provide infield protection should the need develop.
Fred was a Graig Nettles-Jerry Moses teammate in 1972 before his trade to the Padres."
-The New York Yankees Official 1973 Yearbook
"Fred began last season at Cleveland and was traded to the San Diego Padres.
He's rated a fine shortstop with good hands, range, arm and is adept at making the double play. He led Texas League shortstops in fielding while with Dallas-Ft. Worth. He went three-for-three in his first major league game in 1969 against the California Angels.
A real estate salesman in the off-season, his hobbies include golf, hunting and fishing."
