Coolidge Chooses to Run Twins Open to Add Speed
Cal win Coolidge Elmer, Minnesota Twins manager, brings in George Case to boost baserunning. Trade with Dodgers for Roseboro, Perra noski, and Miller strengthens two areas but leaves shortstop unsettled with Hernandez or Cesar Tovar as candidates. Kaat's elbow injury could strain a rotation that includes Chance, Merritt, Boswell, and Perry while Perranoski and Miller bolster the bullpen for Worthington.

Bosox Struggle As Conigliaro Heads Home For Eye Exam

He batted .143 in exhibition games, with 22 strikeouts in 66 at bats, and said recurring headaches hinder sight.
