Not sure I’ve ever spent as much time on the formation of our squad as I have this year. All the same, it’s nice to have so many options and contingency plans.
Here’s how we'll line up on OD:
Catchers- C Bob O’Farrell
- C Zack Taylor (R) v LHP and when Snyder needs a rest
Zack gets the nod over Frank Snyder, who really dropped off substantially last year.
Infielders- 1B Ty Cobb (L) / Rube Bressler (R) platoon
- 2B Dick Lundy (S)
- 3B John Beckwith (R)
- SS Dobie Moore (R)
- Pie Traynor (R)
- Specs Toporcer (L)
- Freddie Spurgeon (R)
As good as Bressler has been, Ty still has too much to offer to be used from the bench. This may well be his last go-around with us so I want to squeeze every last drop out of him. Dick and Dobie have both worked super hard over the break and look fantastic, which is why Pie has been shunted. No doubt there’ll be plenty of changes until we get the mix right.
Outfielders- LF Ken Williams (L)
- CF Curt Walker (L)
- RF Paul Waner (L)
- Walter Davis (L)
- Les Mann (R)
- Cliff Heathcote (L)
The loss of Charley should hardly be felt here, even on defence.
Rotation- LHP Dave Brown
- LHP Willie Foster
- LHP Sam Streeter
- RHP Ray Kremer
This is our biggest area of concern, one which will only get worse if injury strikes. Kremer gets first shot at SP4, with Mirabal and McDonald next in line. Don’t be surprised to see a trade here.
Bullpen- LHP Garland Braxton
- RHP Ralph Comstock
- RHP Juanelo Mirabal
- RHP Webster McDonald (IL)
- LHP Walter Anderson
There’s a decent enough chance McDonald is the one to go to AAA when he returns.
