Waco Texas April. With only one reliable catcher in the Navigator camp, fans fear slow early starts. Tom Toland injured, Turkey Reilly left as catcher with Smith a weak-armed recruit.

Ward Clemens shows flashes but wildness persists. Malmquist edges for utility role. Outfield strength rests with Jesse James, Micky Coyle, and Charlie Bittle. a fair catcher would boost prospects, while more injuries could tilt league balance.
