Mets Hope To Balance Power With Solid Pitching
The Mets enter 1974 with Tom Seaver leading a deep pitching staff that includes Jon Matlack, Jerry Koosman, George Stone, Craig Swann, Ray Sadecki, Buzz Capra, Tug McGraw and more. Health is uncertain as most regulars battled injuries in 1973 while Rusty Staub must stay healthy to provide offensive bite. Infield and outfield spots mix veteran defense from Bud Harrelson and Fella Millen with uncertain outfield positions for Cleon Jones, Don Hahn, Dave Schneck, George Theodore, and Ken Boswell.
