Frank Robinson Gone but Birds Favored To Win 1972 Pennant
Baltimore, now without Frank Robinson who joined the Dodgers, is favored to win a fourth straight American League pennant in 1972. Don Buford, Paul Blair, Merv Rettenmund headline an improved lineup with Brooks Robinson and Mark Belanger anchoring a strong infield. The staff features McNally, Cuellar, Palmer, and Dobson with four 20-win pitchers from 1971. Newcomers Don Baylor and pitchers from the Robinson deal shape the bullpen as Baltimore eyes another division title.
