With Cash at first, the Tiger infield is clearly better than a Kubek-less Yankee infield. Sophomores Wood (.258, 308B's) and Steve Boros (.270) at second and third are sure fielders and developing hitters. At short, off-again-on-again Chico Fernandez had a fine spring...
...infield has been superb defensively and surprisingly potent at the plate in games thus far, and Shephard sees no reason to change it. Phil Bernstein, the team's power hitter, will play first and bat fourth. Mike Drummey, currently hitting over .330, will handle the chores in the hot corner...
...this point the team's strong point is a slick fielding if not power-laden infield. Returning from last year are first baseman Phil Bernstein, shortstop Dave Morse, and third baseman Mike Drummey. The fourth starter is junior Terry Bartolet...
Fortunately, in addition to a very tight infield, Shepard has a solid pitching staff. Al Yarbro and Dick Garibaldi each won a game on the southern trip, and appear to be ready. Sophomore Al Guzzetti, like Del Rossi a left hander, will probably be used often in relief assignments...
Only junior Bill Gilmor is fairly sure of a job in the outfield at present. For the first game, though, he will be joined by his JV colleague from last year--Fred Karp. Mike Cronin, who hit .333 as a utility infielder last year, is slated to move to the outfield.
