Kansas City manager Harry Craft plans to start Harry Simpson at first base and Roger Maris in right field for the Athletics home opener against Baltimore. The club acquired Simpson and Bob Grim from the Yankees in exchange for Vic Power and Woody Held, and Preston Ward and Dick Tomanek joined from Cleveland in separate moves. Ward will mainly pinch hit while given a chance at first base. Simpson has struggled this season while Ward hits .348 and Simpson .216. Craft says the trades strengthen the club with added left handed hitting and pitching and the best bench yet.
