Sox market Boggs,
clubs not interested
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) —
Nobody wants baseball’s best hitter.
Boston Red Sox general manager
Lou Gorman said Wednesday he is
trying to trade five-time batting
champion Wade Boggs, but that no
other team wants to make a deal.
“Maybe they feel they’ll break us
down,” Gorman said after he spent
virtually the entire day on the tele
phone attempting to trade Boggs.
Red Sox co-owner Haywood Sulli
van decided to try to trade Boggs af
ter the third baseman taped a tele
vision interview with Barbara
Walters for ABC’s “20-20,” team
sources said.
Boston officials have denied pres
suring Boggs not to do the interview,
which focuses on his four-year affair
with Margo Adams, who detailed the
relationship in two issues of Pent
house magazine. Club officials said
privately that the Walters’ interview
made them decide to pursue a trade.
Proposed trades were said to in
volve the New York Mets, New York
Yankees, Kansas City Royals, Hous
ton Astros, Seattle Mariners and San
Diego Padres. •
“All trades are a possibility,” Gor
man said. “They’re there, but they’re
not there. You can talk to doomsday
and still not be able to do it.
“If things stay as they are, there
will be no trade. But we’ll keep talk
ing.”
Complicating any trade for
Boggs, a .356 lifetime hitter, is his
contract status. He is signed for 1989
at $1.75 million and is eligible for
free agency following the season.
Any club trading for Boggs presu
mably would want to sign him to a
multiyear deal before making a
trade.
Joe Mcllvaine, Mets’ vice presi
dent for baseball operations, said he
rejected Boston’s proposal to send
Boggs to New York for left-hander
Sid Fernandez and infielder How
ard Johnson.
“It’s hard to say no to a player like
Boggs, but I told Lou I don’t think it
would work too well for us,” Mcll
vaine said. “The deal just wouldn’t
fit.”
Gorman, however, said Boggs’
name was not mentioned with the
Mets.
A Yankees’ source said the club
had turned down Boston’s offer of
Boggs for third baseman Mike Pag-
liarulo and left-hander A1 Leiter.
Gorman said Boggs did not come up
in his talks with the Yankees.
One official said Houston still was
offering pitcher Boh Knepper, third
baseman Ken Caminiti arnd out
fielder Kevin Bass for Boggs. The
Red Sox rejected that offer during
the winter, insisting on pitcher Mike
Scott. Gorman said Wednesday that
a deal with Houston “is dead.”
Landry ’ s future may be
as general in drug war
AUST IN (AP) — Former Dal
las Cowboys football coach Tom
Landry might make a good state
drug czar, Gov. Bill Clements
says, but the two haven’t talked
about the idea.
“I know that Torn has been
very interested in that sort of
thing for many, many years,” the
governor said Wednesday.
“I have in the past discussed
the drug problems in Texas with
him. He has a lot of innovative
ideas. He would certainly bring to
the table a background that
would be most helpful. But ...
have 1 specifically talked to him
about heading up a drug pro
gram in Texas? I have not.”
Landry was fired recently
when the Cowboys were sold.
Clements said that while he hasn’t
talked with Landry about head
ing up a drug prevention pro
gram, the two do conf er.
Late bloomer Brown
hopes to make impact
on mound for Texas
MI FLEDGE VI ELL, Ga. (AP) —
That Kevin Brown even has a
chance to make the Texas Rangers
this spring is remarkable. Coming
out of middle Georgia’s Wilkinson
County High School, he was a
pitcher nobody wanted.
But the 23-year-old right-hander
is currently in a battle with Brad
Arnsherg and former Atlanta Brave
Craig McMurtry for the Rangers’
fifth starting spot. And on Tuesday
in a game against the Chicago White
Sox, he became the first Rangers
pitcher to go five innings this spring.
Against the White Sox, Brown al
lowed three hits and struck out five
in an 8-0 victory. So far this spring,
he has allowed 18 hits in 21 innings,
struck out I 1 and walked six. He has
a 2-0 spring record and 3.86 earned
run average.
“He’s going to he an outstanding
major league pitcher for years to
come,” Rangers General Manager
Tom Grieve said in a telephone in
terview. “He’s going to have to he
patient and wait for his opportunity.
It may come this year, hut the deck is
stacked against him.”
The Rangers stacked the deck
during the offseason by signing 42-
year-old free agent Nolan Ryan, still
one of the hardest-throwing pitchers
in baseball, and acquiring left
hander Jamie Moyer from the Chi
cago Cubs.
“In any other year over the past
four or five seasons, a pitcher like
Kevin could come into spring train
ing with an excellent chance of leav
ing with the big club,” Grieve said.
“This year, the competition is
tough.”
“I’m not going to worry too much
about it,” said Brown. “It's just a
matter of hanging in there for
awhile until things open and the op
portunity arises.”
Brown has been in the majors on
two brief occasions, winning his first
major league start in 1986 and going
1-1 in four games last season. He was
the Rangers’ No. 1 draft choice in
1986 out of Georgia Tech, where he
is the all-time leader in victories with
28.
Pitching in college was not on
Brown’s mind in the summei of
1983 when he left his home in
nearby Mt Intyre to attend Georgia
Tech.
“When I got through with higli
school I didn’t think I'd play am
more baseball,” he recalled. Butlit
played in a Fourth of jul\ tourna
ment in Valdosta and was offered a
scholarship to Valdosta State Col
lege.
“It sort ol blew my mind. 1
thought 1 was through with baseball,
period,” said Brown.
But Brown already had paid logo
to Lech and didn’t want togive upa
co-op job he had, so the Valdosta
State c oaches called Tech and ad
vised the coaches there to give
Biown a tryout.
“It was all like a dream. Allofa
sudden these guys are wanting meto
come out and play for them," Browii
said.
Br< >wn got a scholarship and had
what he termed a "so-so" freshman
season. 1 hen he grew to 6-4, added
some speed to his fastball and allofa
sudden the scouts began to notice.
Georgia l ech head coach Jim
Morrison said he's never seen a
plavei progress as unexpectedly at
Brown did.
“I’ll never forget it. He was pitch-
ing a game at home, and he was
throwing around 88 to 89 milesp«
hour, his usual velocity,'’ Morrison
said.
"T he next time he pitched — m
were playing at Maryland — he was
being clocked at 93 and 94. From
then on, he threw that fast. 1 realli
don’t know what happened."
Alter an 11-5 junior season,
Bn >wn was a f irst round pickoftlit
Rangers in the summer draft.
But in 1987, Brown pitched in
Double A, 1 riple A and then dowi
to A. He wound up with a 1-11 re
cord.
Grieve said the Rangers never
gave up on Brown, and they ma>
have been partially to blame for his
disastrous second season.
“ I he key thing was last season. He
completely turned it around and was
a major reason Tulsa won the Texas
League championship. We’re sen
high on Kevin.”
LSU’s Jackson leads All-American frosh
. s 7 i , - t in *i<lj oj i. > ntMcu. wo •roT.OM- '< v ■ n: ■ • , r ' \ °
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chris Jackson, only the second
member of his class to earn All-
America honors, was named
Wednesday to The Associated Press
All-Freshmen team.
The Louisiana State guard set the
class scoring record with his 30.2 av
erage and last week he became the
second freshman ever to be named
to the All-America team, following
Oklahoma’s Wayman Tisdale who
earned the honor as a freshman in
1983.
Joining Jackson on the All-Fresh
men team are frontcourt players
Alonzo Mourning of Georgetown,
Billy Owens of Syracuse, LaPhonso
Ellis of Notre Dame and Don Mac-
Lean of UCLA.
The voting was conducted among
a selected national panel of sportw-
riters and broadcasters.
The 6-foot-1 Jackson, the only
freshman among the top 50 scorers
in Division I this season, bettered the
freshman scoring mark of 29.4 set
by Austin Peay’s Fly Williams in
1973.
The best scoring mark for each
college class is now held by an LSU
player as Pete Maravich set the mark
for sophomore, junior and senior
seasons, averaging 44.2 points over
the three seasons.
Jackson’s trademark has become
his powerful crossover dribble that
usually sets him for one of his
smooth jump shots or allows him to
find an open man. He comple
mented his scoring average with 130
assists in 32 games.
Mourning was chosen for third-
team All-America honors and he was
named Big East defensive player of
the year after blocking 160 shots,
shattering the school mark of 135 set
by Patrick Ewing in 1985, and intim
idating many more.
The 6-10 Mourning started his
college career after an impressive
showing as the only high school invi
tee at the U.S. Olympic trials. Olym
pic coach John Thompson, his fu
ture coach at Georgetown, kept
TANK MCNAMARA®
Mourning until the next-to-last cut
from the 12-man team which won
the bronze medal in Seoul.
Mourning was second in scoring
at 13.3 for the Big Last champion
Hoyas, grabbing 7.2 rebounds and
blocking an NCAA-hest 5.0 shots
per game.
Owens was overshadowed in the
Big Last by Mourning hut he man
aged to average 12.4 points and 6.9
rebounds for the Orangemen, who
lost to the Hoyas in the conference
championship game. Owens, a 6-8
forward, shot 52 percent from the
field while handing out 108 assists.
Ellis became a silent leader on a
Notre Dame team without any se
niors. He was second in scoring at
13.5 points per game and led the
Fighting Irish in rebounding, grab
bing 9.4 per game.
I he 6-10 Ellis shot an impressive
56 percent from the Held and
showed his ability to play tough de
fense under the basket In blocking
53 shots.
MacLean, also 6-10, was consid
ered the kev recruit for fnsi-vra
UCLA coach Jim Hat rick and the
Simi Valley, Calif., native didn't let
the Bruins down as they in
NCAA tournament f or |iist the sec
ond tune in six years.
Mac Lean, who shot 56 percent
from the field, averaged a team-
leading 18.6 points and was second
with 7.5 rebounds per game.
