To sum up 1971, we finished 75-87. We were 10th in hitting, 9th in pitching and 10th in defense. Not much to hang our hats on. Our bullpen was 3rd and I expect that to get better as most of them were young live arms.
The best OPS+ was 113, nobody had a good year even though Fregosi won another Silver Slugger at SS, but .264/.345/.373 was a step back from 1970.
We drafted 3B Roy Howell with the 8th pick as we need hitting at that position badly. Added P Randy Jones as well.
Going to try to deal a SP for a bat, but not sure there is much of a market when hitting is at premium.
