Southworth reshapes Cardinals with Padgett and Mize plan
St Louis moves toward a lefthanded lineup with Don Padgett and Johnny Mize. Billy Southworth tests a dual outfield and shifts Don Padgett to the infield. He weighs Hopp at first base and Terry Moore as a defensive option while eyeing a stronger pitching staff via Mets-like trades. Reds’ bold start and Yankees’ rumored reshuffles also color the looming season.
