Cards gamble that Cruz can do job at third base
St Louis Cardinals plan to move Hector Cruz to third base to boost defense and run production in 1975 spring training. Red Schoendienst says Cruz has good hands and reflexes and can adjust with time. The move follows Ken Reitz trade and aims to offset left-handed pitching weaknesses with Falcone and Curtis in the rotation and Don Kessinger stabilizing infield defense.
