Expansion Draft Should Not Blow Cardinals, Experts Say
The Cardinals face no crippling loss from expansion as Montreal and San Diego add NL teams. GM Bing Devine and manager Red Schoendienst can protect 15 players on the winter 40 man roster, including starters Gibson Carlton Briles Jaster and outfielder Tolan. The new clubs may take reserves but top 15 and most of the first 23 can remain untouchable. Only two of the 23 could be lost, and the expansion clubs are unlikely to yield immediate stellar stars.
