Whatever good vibes I was feeling entering into the 1968 season have all but dissipated for now, but we must go on. Losing Kirkpatrick is a mere annoyance and slight inconvenience, I doubt I need explain the negative effect having our staff ace miss the Year of the Pitcher in its entirety is likely to have on the team's performance.
We'd signed Don Cardwell on a minors deal but for once have a bunch of guys needing to clear waivers and I don't want to activate him until we see how that process goes, which means he won't appear in this report. Providing all goes according to plan, we'll go with him in the spin to begin with and stick with the softly, softly plan for Blass. If not, we'll have to run Steve at SP5.
Al Oliver has been called up (Bob is nowhere to be seen...) and will fill in at 1B / corner OF on a back-up basis. We are still uncomfortably thin for my liking in the middle of the diamond, so if we look to add someone new, it will almost certainly be in this capacity.
