...Crimson lineup will remain the same, which means the latest innovation of playing Mike Drummey at third base and Billy Rodgers in rightfield will continue. The pair started the season in the opposite positions. Dave Morse, Al Martin, and Phill Bernstein will join Drummey in the infield, and Dick Shima and Charlie Ravenel will remain in the outfield slots. Dick Diehl, still hitting over 300, will catch...
Around second base the infield is fine. A1 Martin, in his second year as captain, plays second and keeps the team hustling. His .193 average of a year ago doesn't show his great clutch talent, since he led the team with 17 RBI's on only 16 hits. The shortstop is Dave Morse, also known for his scoring feats in hockey.

Jim Lemon can hit for distance, Lennie Green for average, and Bob Allison, who should recover from sophomore slump, for both. Earl Battey is the best catcher in the A.L., and Camilio...
