Red Sox Hope for Strong Pitching and Steady Offense in 1964
After a 1963 disappointment the team counts on Bob Heffner and Bill Spanswick to anchor a rotation. Spanswick, 14-8 in Seattle with 209 strikeouts, joins an infield led by Stuart, Schilling, Bressoud and Malzone. Stuart impressed at bat with 42 homers and 118 RBIs, while Mantilla may press Schilling for second base.
