Jerry Remy's position is clear. "They're either going to play me," the 28-year-old veteran of six years in the majors says, "or they'll trade me." A .271 lifetime hitter, Remy was swinging the bat at a .313 clip when a knee injury felled him last July. A left-handed hitter with absolutely no power, Remy is the only real base-stealing threat in the Boston arsenal. For a team theoretically sporting a multi-dimensional attack, speed would seem to be vital...
...team finished the season with a dual meet record of 17-4, a good clip above the 11-7-1 record of last year. However, the record cannot even begin to measure the improvement that this team has demonstrated in one year under the coaching of Johnny Lee. With increased ability and depth, the Crimson beat three teams (Boston University. Springfield College, and Yale) that they have not beaten since early in the '70s.

Much of the 24 point victory margin can be explained with a quick look at shooting percentages. While Princeton shooters--most notably Steve Mills and Craig Robinson--sizzled the twines at a 29-47, 61.7 per cent clip, the Crimson took as many shots (48), but hit only a pitiful 37.5 per cent...
