Scouting Report by Yankee Scout Joe Devine, 1936:  “Williams is a very slow lad, not a good outfielder now and just an average arm.  There is big doubt whether Williams will ever be fast enough to get by in the majors as an outfielder. His best feature now is that he shows promise as a hitter, but good pitching so far has stopped him cold…. I like [Walt] Judnich better than Williams.”
