Oilers try
reloading
after Plan B
HOUSTON (AP) — There’ll be a
new look to the Houston Oilers this
season because of the Plan B free
agency system.
The Oilers lost 15 players, mote
than any other team in the NFL, to
the plan that allows other teams to
sign unprotected players.
The Oilers signed seven Plan B
players and will use the NFL college
draft beginning Sunday to add
depth to their depleted numbers.
Barring last minute trades, the
Oilers will pick 23rd in the First
round and have a selection in all 12
rounds.
The two-day draft begins at 11
a.m. CDT Sunday. No round will be
gin after 8 p.m. and the remaining
rounds wdll be held on Monday.
“We need to get some depth in the
offensive line and the defensive line
and at linebacker,” General Man
ager Mike Holovak said.
Holovak has been engineering
Oiler drafts since 1981, but this is his
first as general manager since the
resignation of Ladd Herzeg.
Holovak has cleared the first hur
dle of his tenure by signing quar
terback Warren Moon to a five-year,
$10 million contract.
The Oilers also want more de
fensive depth after matching the
Chicago Bears’ offer sheet and sign
ing defensive end Ray Childress to a
five-year, $4.7 million contract.
Now Holovak is looking to the
draft to help replace Plan B losses.
The Oilers lost two starters to Plan
B, tight end Jamie Williams and
safety Keith Bostic. Bostic signed
with Indianapolis and Williams went
to San Francisco.
Special teams, a team strength last
season, lost Spencer Tillman, line
backer Walter Johnson and Mark
Dusbabek.
The Oilers have a strong starting
offensive line, with Pro Bowl guards
Mike Munchak and Bruce Mat
thews, tackles Bruce Davis and Dean
Steinkuhler and center Jay Penni-
son.
But Davis is 33, Steinkuhler plays
despite chronic knee problems and
the Oilers lost three offensive line
men to Plan B.
Other Plan B losses were lineback
ers Toby Gaston, Kurt Crain, tackles
John Davis, David Vaiene and Doug
Williams, wide receiver Willie Drew-
rey, cornerback Audrey McMillian,
quarterback Brent Pease, fullback
Ray Wallace and defensive end Rob-
I ert Banks.
' The new Oilers from Plan B are
fullback Carl Byrum, defensive line
man Mark Garalczyk, wide receiver
Kenny Jackson, tight end Calvin Ma
gee, linebacker Matt Monger, nose
tackle Colin Scott and center-guard
George Yarno.

Offseason acquisitions
pay off for Rangers
ARLINGTON (AP) — The Texas
Rangers used to welcome days off to
recover from another flogging.
On Thursday’s off day, they
wished they could have played two.
With eight games left on the
schedule this month, the rollin’
Rangers are one victory shy of tying
the club record for the most victories
in April (13).
Texas was 13-8 in April 1974 un
der Billy Martin. The Rangers were
12-9 in 1983.
Texas defeated Milwaukee 5-1 on
Wednesday night to win its fifth se
ries of the year and improve its ma
jor league-leading record to 12-2.
“When you’re going like we’re
going you hate to take a day off,”
said Rangers manager Bobby Valen
tine.
Shortstop Scott Fletcher said, “We
have confidence now when we play a
team that we’ll find a way to beat
them. It’s something new for us.”
The Rangers have owned sole
possession of first place in the Amer
ican League West for 1 1 days. They
are three games ahead of defending
AL champion Oakland.
T exas’ off-season trades and free
agent dealings have paid off.
Free agent Nolan Ryan is 1-0
while Jamie Moyer, who was ob|
tained from the Chicago Cubs, is3-
0. Moyer has filled in for Jose Guz
man, who hasn’t played because of
arm trouble.
Second baseman Julio Francoand
first baseman Rafael Palmeiro, both
acquired in trades, have added
clutch hitting to the Rangers'lineup.
“They’ve got a good team mixed
with power and speed,” said Milwau
kee pitcher Mike Birkbeck. “Their
starters and bullpen are good; the;
have all the components.”
Speedy Cecil Espy, who replaced;
the traded Oddibe McDowell in cent
ter field, has ignited the Rangers’at
tack from his leadoff position. He
has 1 1 stolen bases and is batting
.345.
“Cecil is our jump-starter,” Valen
tine said. “He gets us going.”
