Orioles Draft Catcher In Major League Draft
Baltimore Orioles trade for Larry Johnson from Toronto to bolster the catching corps in the first round. Johnson hit .280 with 13 homers and 49 RBI for the Maple Leafs in the International League, while Houston's Bo Belinsky drew the top attention with a $25 000 purchase. Belinsky, famed for a no hitter and volatile career, was viewed as a risky pick by manager Grady Hatton.
