Washington Manager Says Club Improved
Washington manager Charlie Dressen, once a pennant winner with Brooklyn, says his Senators are improved but uncertain of their exact place. He cites promising pitching, a potential home run hitter in Roy Sievers, several solid catchers, and added depth from 25 players, along with targets like a capable center fielder and an improved Jose Valdivielso at short. He notes last year’s injuries and farm recalls, and stresses the need to avoid a repeat.
