Carroll signs with Reds as Morgan praised as coach
Clay Carroll ended his holdout and will begin workouts with Cincinnati, likely settling for a compromise on his $50,000 demand. Sparky Anderson praised newly acquired second baseman Joe Morgan, who worked with pitchers to curb baserunners and whom Anderson wants to leverage for team speed with a goal of 125 stolen bases. Morgan noted pitchers' tendencies give stealers chances, and Morgan, in eight-player Houston trade, says most NL pitchers show tells on first-base moves.
