Dodger Cubs trades

[Flatbush Flock]

When I was growing up it seemed like the Dodgers and Cubs were always making trades. Without looking in the encylopedia, these are the players I remember who played for both organizations. I'm sure there are many more.
Who else can you name between 1946-1957 who were with both?

Stanky
Pafko
Walker
Terwilliger
Schmitz
B. Edwards
Hemanski
Miksis
Hatten
Meyer
Minner
R. Jackson
Elston
Moryn
Ramsdell
Leonard

It seemed that Rickey used the Cubs to acquire key players at positions that the Dodgers' farm system did not have ready at a particular time - i.e., players of major league caliber. Thus: Pafko for left field (always a weak position for the Dodgers of those years), Randy Jackson for third base (likewise except for the Cox seasons), Russ Meyer for the starting rotation (never one of Brooklyn's outstanding segments at that time), and Johnny Schmitz, the Dodger killer (just so they wouldn't have to face him six times a year). The Cubs, with a far less productive farm system, needed bodies to fill positions. These trades typically gave the Cubs two or three for one - decent players for the most part, but not at all comparable to what Brooklyn had at their positions. I believe that Wid Mathews, the Chicago G.M., had worked for Rickey in prior years. Did that have anything to do with it all? Who knows? (By the way, my recollection is that none of those "key players" - my phrase - was as good for the Dodgers as he had been for the Cubs. Feel free to disagree.)

I agree. At the time, I thought Pafko was a real coup. He wasn't, and the Dodgers got rid of him surprisingly quickly (and got little in return).
