Tigers poised for strong run with revamped roster
Die Fisher and Moe Drabowsky are expert firemen. Mayor Smith appears to have the Tigers pulling together and bustling and Johnny Sain, his pitching coach, is doing a job with Joe Sparma. If Sain can provide enough strong arms to back up Denny McLain, Harl Wilson and Mickey Lolich, the Tigers really could be tough. Dick McAuliffe has made the switch from short to second and Al Kaline, Willie Horton and Jim Northrup form a strong outfield. The Twins' pitching is solid, with Chance added to Jim Kaat, Jim Perry, Jim Grant and Dave Boswell. Harmon Killebrew is booming homers in exhibition games and Tony Oliva always is a threat for the batting title. Center and left could present problems to Manager Sam Mele.
