We lucked out when Dave Parker was still available for round 1. He will play first base, backed up by the ubiquitous Kranepool. We got Wayne Garland in round 2 and Doug Bird in round 3, 2nd baseman Tom Heintzelman in round 4 and Catcher Bob Davis in round 5. I feel that we have strengthened the team going into 1973. Cabell is now up with the big league team and can be a backup at 3rd and 1st. And we have a third catcher and depth for the bullpen, with our rotation the big three of Seaver, Koosman and Ryan with Doyle Alexander and Jim Barr our 4 and 5 starters. Here goes.
