Unknown May Start For Braves Center Field Hopeful
The Milwaukee Braves may start Al Spangler in center field this season though he is not on the 1958 roster. Spangler, 24, has served in the Army and never played in the majors, but the Braves rate him highly as a farm system prospect. He will train with the parent club this spring and is contending for the center field job due to Billy Bruton’s knee injury. Spangler comes from the Wichita farm team and is a Philadelphian known for smart baserunning and fearless play, potentially slower than Bruton at his peak.
