Cardinals Hope Runs and Pitching Lift Contention in NL
St Louis manager Red Schoendienst faces a shortstop shuffle after Cal Maxvill’s departure to Oakland. Ray Busse and rivals Mick Kellner, Mike Tyson, or Dwain Anderson compete for the job as Lou Brock and Jose Cruz pace a defensive but error-prone outfield. Pitching improves with Bob Gibson, Rick Wise, and Reggie Cleveland anchoring a deeper staff, while spare arms include Santorini, Durham, Bibby, Foster and lefty alternatives from Andrews Folkers and Hrabosky.
