Hargrove traded to San Diego
United Press International
ARLINGTON — The Texas Ran
gers Wednesday traded five-year
first baseman Mike Hargrove, who
slumped to .251 with 17 errors in
1978, to San Diego for Oscar Gam
ble, an outfielder with a seven-figure
income and seven home runs last
season.
The deal also sent infielder Kurt
Bevacqua and minor league catcher
Bill Fahey to the Padres in exchange
for catcher Dave Roberts and an
amount of cash officially undisclosed
but openly discussed as $300,(KK).
Hargrove, 29, weary of rumors of
the deal for three weeks, said he
would “love to stay in Texas’ (his
home state) but was looking forward
to playing for the Padres. He said
the key to the trade was the money
Texas received.
“The Rangers need the money,

said Hargrove, a career .303 hitter
until last season’s disaster.
Hargrove said the Rangers suf
fered from discipline problems and
lack of confidence in manager Bill
Hunter during the stormy 1978 sea
son.
“You can’t blame Billy,” Hargrove
said of the team’s second-place
finish. “He didn’t run and throw and
hit the ball. But I don’t think Billy
had a good year managing. I don t
think he was same kind of manager
this year as last. I really couldn’t fig
ure it out either. He didn’t seem to
be the same Billy Hunter. Ofcourse,
me hitting .250 could have affected
that.
Hunter, in his first full season with
Texas, was fired before the last game
of the year and replaced by coach Pat
Corrales.
Hargrove was part of the Rangers
1978 infield collapse, dropping from
a career batting average of .303 to
.251. He also committed 17 errors,
many as second baseman Bump
Wills, who slumped to .250 after a
rookie season in which he hit .287.
Shortstop Bert Campaneris, despite
playing in only 98 games, committed
20 errors, hit . 186 and lost his job to
Conference notes
rookie Nelson Norman. At third
base, Toby Harrah fell to a .229 aver
age with 12 homers after a .263 sea
son with 27 homers in 1977.
T’ve given Texas four good years
out of five, ” Hargrove said. "One bud
year and I’m gone. You wonder why
me, why not somebody else who
hasn’t contributed a whole lot?”’
Hargrove said Hunter struggled
particularly with the pitching staff’,
going with some hurlers too long and
pulling others too (juickly. Also
Hunter never seemed in control of
the team after arguing with Dock
Ellis on the team bus about the
pitcher’s drinking practices.
But Hargrove said the overall
problem was elusive.
"I didn’t know during the season
and really haven’t come up with a
solution yet. There were four or five
of who had had years. When you
have starters who have as bad a year
as we did, it’s tough to win. It’s really
a tribute to the talent on the ballclub
that we won 87 games and finished
second. I’m including myself as one
who had a terrible year.
"We might have won it had even a
eounle of those guys had good years.
The Rangers have a helluva chance
to win the thing in 79. I sa y
from the bottom of my heart.
“But the Rangers need to go
who they’ve got. If they solved) 6:30
problems by getting, nd vS jj f
some other people then they ski plain
stick with the team they have. ||
to see them break it up.
“Our team never did gel laj
till the last three weeks of the ^
I think it needed time to M
around. I don’t know what null
that way.”
Hargrove said the frequentta|
by owner Brad Corbett during
past three years left the impr^
with many players that theyhj^
season to produce and iftheyda
they’re on the trading block,
“I hope they leave thatteamd
now,” he said. “They’vegottki
ent, a good ballclub. I couldle
last one to be traded, but who
knows with Brad because Bni
very impulsive, an impulse
"Sometimes you have to word maroc
they (management) know d
they’re doing and other times
seem to be psychic the waytlm
things. But I’m glad I've got

HOUSTON — Southwest Con
ference co-leader Houston worked
out in the Astrodome for 90 minutes
Wednesday in getting ready to take
on the No. 11 ranked Arkansas
Razorbacks Saturday.
The Cougars, who share the con
ference lead with Texas, emphasized
goaline and special team work.
"It may he homecoming, but I
think our kids would be ready to play
Arkansas if it was in the parking lot in
the dead of summer, said Coach Bill
aijsard
ouse
Yeoman.
"Arkansas is a very fine team. I
really think that our youngsters will
play very, very hard and they had
better. ”
Houston has never beaten Arkan
sas in conference play. When the
Cougar’s won the conference title in
1976 they lost to the Razorbacks 14-7
