...Braves should settle for fifth. Age has withered Herr Warren Spahn, and custom not only staled his infinite variety but deprived him of his fastball. The Braves opened the season with no one in left or right, and it is very difficult for Hank Aaron to cover the whole outfield expanse...
After much experimentation Shepard has settled on his top outfield. Gavin Gilmor will start in center, Curly Combs in right, and Bob St. George in left. All have been hitting well, and will have to continue if the Crimson is to be threat for the title...
...keep pace with the Cards, who should lead until the end of August when Stan Musial wilts in the heat. With speed at short and second (Julio Gotay and Julio Javier), and power at first and third (Bill White and Ken Boyer), the Card infield is well anchored. The outfield of Musial, Curt Flood and the recently acquired Minnie Minoso should hit a collective .300. Good front line pitching from Ernie Broglio, Lindy MacDaniel and Larry Jackson is indispensable, however...
...will lose ... Don't bet on it. Orlando Cepeda has been belting 400 foot shots into the wind, and Willie Mays hardly feels the draft. With Cepeda back at first Harvey Kuenin and Felipe Alou (say it fast and you know a great Jamaican curse) flanking Mays in the outfield, the Giants have Matty Alou (same to you) and Willy McCovey on the bench. For the first time in three years the Giant hopes don't rest on the erratic shoulders of McCovey, and they couldn't look better...
Scott Harshbarger, normally a catcher, may also see action in the outfield...
