Rangers optimistic
about 1989 season
By Steven Merritt
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The 1989 Texas Rangers Winter
Caravan made a stop in College Sta
tion yesterday, on the third leg of a
four city tour for the team.
Caravan participants included
pitching coach Dick Egan, pitchers
Craig McMurtry and Jeff Russell,
catcher Geno Petralli and play-by-
play announcer Mark Holtz.
Egan, who is completing his 29th
year in professional baseball and his
fourth with the Rangers, said the ad
dition of strikeout king Nolan Ryan
to the pitching staff can only add to
the credibility of the organization.
“Everything about Ryan emulates
success, dedication and hard work
and that’s one of the things that the
Rangers haven’t had before, a sepa
rate leader,” Egan said. “Charlie
Hough is a veteran slow-moving,
soft tossing and unique type of
pitcher. He is a specialist and will still
remain our opening day pitcher.
Ryan throws the ball just as hard
today as he did when he was 19 years
old.”
You can only do that through ex
ceptional dedication and hard work
and that’s the one ingredient he will
bring to the Rangers. He will estab
lish leadership within the clubhouse
and on the bench.”
Other pitching acquisitions made
by Texas during the offseason in
cluded left-handers Jamie Moyer
and Drew Hall from the Chicago
Cubs.
“We gave up Paul Kilgus to get
Moyer, so the worst the situation can
be is half and half,” Egan said.
Egan said he felt along with the
Ranger organization that Moyer is
more poised and smoother, thus
making him a more consistent per
former in his starting role with the
club.
“Drew Hall, who will give us help
in the bullpen this year, has the ca
pability of being as good or better
than Mitch Williams, who we also
gave up in the trade,” Egan said.
“Williams had a little more publicity
and major league success, but
tended to be a problem child.”
Ranger pitching wasn’t helped by
the team’s offensive slump in run
production in 1988, but the 654
walks allowed by Ranger pitchers
didn’t help either.
“Reducing the number of walks is
going to be a major goal for our staff
this season,” he said. “Our pitchers
don’t give up a lot of hits, so cutting
down on the number of walks will
really help.”
Egan also said that the early
games of the season should deter
mine who the bullpen stopper will
be, but no decision has been made as
yet.
“The pitching personnel won’t be
the problem this year,” he said.
Pitcher Craig McMurtry, who
compiled the lowest earned run av
erage of any pitcher on the Rangers’
staff at 2.25, echoed Egan’s thoughts.
“I think our starting pitching will
be very strong this year, maybe even
comparable to the staff in Oakland,”
McMurtry said. “The rotation looks
good on paper, but it’s going to take
a successful spring training to find
out how good we are.”
McMurtry said that the new addi
tions can only help the revitalized
staff.
“Jamie Moyer is a strong pitcher.
Some say he has the best cnange-up
in the National League,” McMurtry
said. “All I know about Hall is that
he looks like a string bean and
throws extremely hard. And what
else can you say about Nolan Ryan?
His presence could change the work
ethic of many on this team.”
McMurtry said one of his main
goals for the season will be to get in
50 games as a reliever and to work
on his change-up.
“Toward the end of last year I be
gan to use the change-up more,” he
said. “This year I hope to use it more
often and more consistently.”
Right-hander Jeff Russell isn’t set
ting his goals so far into the future.
“Right now I’m just looking for a
contract,” Russell said. “I would love
to continue playing for Texas. I like
the Ranger organization.”
Rangers’ play-by-play announcer
Mark Holtz said that he has seen im
proved interest in Ranger baseball in
this area, one that is primarily Hous
ton Astro territory.
“The acquisition of Nolan Ryan as
well as two .300 hitters in Rafael
Palmeiro and Julio Franco has really
peaked interest around the state,”
Holtz said. “Ryan is a future Hall of
Earner and the Rangers haven’t seen
hitters like this since A1 Oliver and
Mickey Rivers.”
Holtz said that interest in the Dal
las/Fort Worth area has recently
shifted from manager Bobby Valen
tine to general manager Tom Grieve
because of his attraction of top-rated
players through trade and free-
agent signings.
“Both Valentine and Grieve real
ized that they had to make some de
cisions or they wouldn’t be around
much longer,” Holtz said. “Last
year’s team definitely needed to be
looked at.”
Hershiser named 1988
AP Athlete of the Year
NEW YORK (AP) — Orel
Hershiser, a picture of perfection on
and off the field, was named The
Associated Press Male Athlete of the
Year on Tuesday, finishing far
ahead of his Olympic competition.
The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher
became the first non-Olympian to
win the honor in an Olympic year
since Denny McLain in 1968.
Hershiser, who set a record with 59
consecutive shutout innings, is the
22nd baseball player to win the
award in its 58-year history and the
first since Dwight Gooden in 1985.
Hershiser got nearly twice as
many votes as his World Series rival,
Jose Canseco: 67 first-place ballots
and 465 points, with Canseco — the
first player to hit 40 home runs and
steal 40 bases in a season — getting
30 first-place votes and 233 points.
Heisman Trophy winner Barry
Sanders, who set all-time college re
cords for rushing yards and touch
downs, was third with 207, followed
by Olympic swimmer Matt Biondi
with 152, NB A star Michael Jordan
with 91 and Olympic diver Greg
Louganis at 59.
Voting was done by sports writers
and broadcasters on a 5-3-1 basis.
The AP’s Female Athlete of the Year
will be announced Thursday.
“This caps a year of fantastic
awards,” Hershiser said. “It is a tre
mendous honor to be recognized
with an award which covers all
sports.”
Hershiser spent the 1988 season
setting records and collecting tro
phies. His wholesomeness and his
hymn-singing earned him adulation
among children and adults.
Hershiser’s record streak, 23-8 re
cord and 2.26 earned run average
made him the unanimous National
League Cy Young winner. He also
was named the most valuable player
inboth the NL playoffs and the
World Series.
Schottenheimer named
new Chiefs head coach
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —
Marty Schottenheimer, the winning-
est coach in the American Football
Conference the past three seasons,
was named head coach of the Kansas
City Chiefs Tuesday.
“Our goal for 1989 is to become
the champions of the National Foot
ball League,” said Schottenheimer,
who resigned as coach of the Cleve
land Browns at the end of the season
in a dispute with owner Art Modell.
Schottenheimer, 45, took the
Browns to the playoffs in each of his
four full seasons as coach. His 32 x 15
regular season record the past three
years is unmatched in the AFC and
trails only the Chicago Bears and
San Francisco 49ers among all NFL
teams.
His resignation from the Browns
was triggered by his refusal to hire
an offensive coordinator, a role he
was filling.
Asked if he would hire an offen
sive coordinator with the Chiefs,
Schottenheimer broke into a grin.
“We will have an individual to fill
that role,” he said. “Rest easy. Marty
Schottenheimer is not going to call
the plays. Someone will have that
role, if not the title.”
Asked why he would change from
the approach that led to his depar
ture from Cleveland, Schotten
heimer said he thought remaining
offensive coordinator for the
Browns “was the best thing to do.’
The naming of Schottenheimer
completes a house cleaning that
owner Lamar Hunt began in Decem
ber with the resignation of team
president Jack Steadman and the fir
ing of General Manager Jim Schaaf.
Eleven days later, Hunt hired Carl
Peterson as president and general
manager.
The Chiefs, a power in the old
AFL and winners of the fourth Su
per Bowl, have made only one play
off appearance since 1971 and have
consistently been at or near the bot
tom of the AFC West.
“I see a gathering of talent here
that can make us competitive. I
mean in 1989,” Schottenheimer said.
“My primary reason for selecting
this opportunity is I believe we can
win here and win quickly.”
Peterson, who enjoyed great suc
cess in the USFL with the Philadel-
phia-Baltimore Stars, retains ulti
mate authority on draft day
decisions but Schottenheimer will be
able to select his own staff.
