Brewers Hope Money Sparks Turnaround In 1973
Milwaukee seeks a surge at the gate and on the field as Don Money and Dave May anchor a lineup with George Scott as star power. The farm system remains thin, with Pedro Garcia and Rick Auerbach providing infield speed and Ellie Rodriguez backstopping a improving defense. Pitching rests on Bill Parsons, Skip Lockwood, Jim Slaton and a group including Jerry Bell and Jim Colborn to stabilize the rotation.
