Outlook For Senators Shows Improvement
Washington manager Cookie Lavagetto sees a brighter path after a 16 game losing streak and three straight last place seasons. Last year the Senators sparked headlines with home run clusters from Harmon Killebrew Bob Allison Jim Lemon and Roy Sievers while Camilo Pascual led AL pitchers with 17 complete games. They finished with 163 home runs second in the league but batted only .237 and committed many errors. Lavagetto expects turnover with promising youngsters and hopes to add a starter like Jim Kaat, a 21-year-old rookie, plus depth in pitching with Ramos Pascual and others. Infield plans remain work in progress.
