...innings for the Cubs) is the new stopper, along with Calvin Schiraldi (8-5 with Boston). Rick Sutcliffe (18-10, 3.68 ERA) is the only pitcher who stands out among the ivy troops at Wrigley. National League MVP Andre Dawson and Ryne Sandberg (.294, 16 HR, 59 RBI) will be the only good news coming out of Wrigley this season. Best player: Dawson (.287, 49 HR...
...best in the league. A possible Mario Soto comeback just might do it for the Reds. Last year, Soto finished the season at 3-2. Eric Davis and the rest of the Reds offense will score the runs. In 108 games, outfielder Kal Daniels hit 26 HR and batted .334. Best player: Davis (.293, 37 HR...
Houston (76-86, NL West third) Joaquin Andujar is back. He will probably help Houston's already strong staff. Mike Scott (16-13) and Nolan Ryan (8-16, 2.76 ERA) still can throw smoke. The Astros have some fine talent in Bill Hatcher (.296, 11 HR, 63 RBI) and Glen Davis. But to turn this season around, the Astros cannot choke like they did after August. Last year, the Astros lost 26 of their final 37 games. Best player: Davis (.251, 27 HR...
...Angeles: Kirk Gibson (.277, 24 HR, 79 RBI), Alfredo Griffin (.263, 60 RBI), Jesse Orosco (3-9), Mike Davis (22 HR) and Jay Howell (3-4) all decided that southern California is a nice place to play ball. But where will all these guys play? Fernando Valenzuela (14-14) leads the staff, but the boys in Blue can't field. Case in point: Steve ("Stone Hands") Sax, who leads a Dodger bumbling crew that led the majors in errors (155). Best player: Pedro Guerrero (.338, 27 HR...
Montreal (91-71, NL East, third): The Expos have the offense to stay close. Tim Wallach (.298, 26 HR, 123 RBI) and Tim Raines lead the Expo attack. Yet, the double-play combo of rookies Luis Rivera and Johnny Paredes will start for the first time. The return of Floyd Youmans from the Jacksonville minor league club will certainly help the staff. Too bad the Mets are in their division. Best player: Raines (.330, 18 HR...
