The Orioles eye a pennant push behind Boog Powell who belted 32 homers and 92 RBIs last season. If Powell hits like spring, Adair holds up as Hansen’s replacement, and Steve Barber becomes a full-time starter, Baltimore could slip past Detroit into third place while Gentile reclaims home run pace amid a powered lineup.

The excerpt notes Jackie Brandt in center field with right field on platoon duty between Earl Robinson and Whitey Herzog. Billy Hitchcock reshuffles pitching and benches with Pappas strong late, Estrada and Fisher as hopefuls, and Dave McNally linked to a 90 thousand dollar future. Hitchcock’s style earns cautious praise as Paul Richards’ presence fades.
