Astros depending on power
Pitching, youth, Davis will lead club in 1990
HOUSTON (AP) —The Houston
Astros will hang their hopes on solid
pitching, Glenn Davis and an infu
sion of youth in 1990.
The pitching starts with 20-game
winner Mike Scott, opening day
pitcher for the season opener
against Cincinnati in the Astrodome
on Monday night.
The youth movement this year be
gins with left fielder Eric Anthony,
the minor league’s home run king
the past two seasons and the numeri
cal replacement for departed Kevin
Bass.
Anthony, who hit four homers in
61 at-bats during a brief stint with
the Astros late last season, could of
fer power support to Davis, who hit
34 homers last year.
Scott didn’t repeat his Cy Young
season of 1986 in 1989, but he did
post a 20-10 record to lead the Na
tional League in victories and he fin
ished second in the NL Cy Young
voting.
Anthony is getting the same en
dorsement that Astros management
ave catcher Craig Biggio and third
aseman Ken Caminiti last season.
“I’m ready to see what I can do in
the major leagues,” Anthony said. “I
think I’ve proven all I can in the mi
nor leagues.”
Scott will be followed by Jim De-
shaies, Mark Portugal, Bill Gullick-
son and Jim Clancy in the rotation.
Dave Smith is back to provide de-
f >endable closing duties. Middle re-
ief, more important because of the
shortened spring, will be provided
by Larry Andersen and Danny Dar
win.
Xavier Hernandez and Charley
Kerfeld also could help in middle re
lief.
Clancy and Gullickson will be the
keys to the pitching staff. Clancy is
coming off one of his worst seasons,
and Gullickson is returning to the
U.S. after playing in Japan two sea
sons.
Hoping Gullickson can return to
major league form was a gamble.
General Manager Bill Wood said.
“It’s a helluva gamble. We’re pro
viding him a platform to show what
he can do,” Wood said. “It has tre
mendous upside potential, and it
could have a downside as well if he’s
not the pitcher he used to be.”
Clancy is trying to forget his 7-14,
5.08 earned run average season and
develop an off-speed pitch.
“He’s in good condition and he’s
in a good mental frame of mind,”
Wood said. “What happens next we
have to wait and see. There’s no
question he has to pitch better than
last year.”
Anthony and rightfielder Glenn
Wilson, obtained from Pittsburgh
last August, will be the only newcom
ers to the starting lineup.
Gerald Young returns to cen-
terfield with Biggio catching, Glenn
Davis at first. Bill Doran at second,
Caminiti at third and Rafael Ram
irez at shortstop.
Doran and Young are coming off
slumps from last season. Doran hit
.131 over the second half of the sea
son and Young finished with a .233
average.
Reserves will include Terry Puhl,
Alex Trevino and Franklin Stubbs,
obtained last week from the Los An
geles Dodgers.
Wood hopes the blend of youth
and experience will help the Astros
rise above their third place finish in
1989.
“The manager has to have some
veterans to provide experience, his
tory and leadership,” Wood said.

Spurs 104-98,
Harper shines
DALLAS (AP) — San Antonio
Spurs coach Larry Brown recognizes
a good thing when he sees it, and he
certainly saw enough of it from Dal
las Mavericks backcourt partnei s
Derek Harper and Rolando Black
man.
Blackman scored 28 points and
Harper 27 to lead Dallas to a club-re-
cora-equaling comeback victor\
Wednesday night, 104-98 over th
Spurs.
Brown said the Dallas guards had
a big advantage in experience ovei
second-year pros Rod Strickland
and Willie Anderson and third-year
man David Wingate.
“Mo Cheeks (who went to New
York in the Strickland trade) is a
leader,” Brown said. “Now we’re
playing these young guys, and we
knew we were in a dogfight. I hoped
they would respond.
“The Mavericks played great.
They hit some tough shots and they
really pounded the offensive boards.
“I don’t think we relaxed,” Brown
said of losing the big lead. “But we
stopped competing. When they went
after us, our kids hadn’t been there.
“This was like a playoff-type game
in the second half, and we didn’t re
spond very well to it.”
Harper recalled that when the
Spurs were almost 20 points ahead,
Mavs coach Richie Adubato “told us
not to try to get it all back on one
play. After that, we executed well of
fensively and got back on defense to
prevent the break. The fact that I
was able to hit those two threes gave
us some momentum going into half
time.”
Letters to the Sports Editor
Research or plagiarism?
SPORTS EDITOR:
Upon reading Clay Ras
mussen’s “March Monotony”
article (April 2) in the Battal
ion, we were immediately
struck with a feeling of deja
vu, and later, a sense of shock
and amazement.
The familiarity was experi
enced because the bulk of
Rasmussen’s contentions
came from last Saturday’s
Houston Chronicle.
The shock and amazement
came from Finding out just
how similar Rasmussen’s arti
cle was to Fran Blinebury’s
“Constant Halts Harm TV
Hoops” (March 31) from the
Chronicle.
While the borrowing of em
pirical data and quotes from
reliable sources is a necessary
part of journalism, the uncre
dited use of another writer’s
exact words and ideas (espe
cially when written under the
pretense of being original
phrases and sentences) is
nothing less than plagiarism.

Save the Speedway
SPORTS EDITOR:
A Battalion article sug
gested that Texas World
Speedway may be converted
to a horse racing and training
facility. In the article, track
management and the local
media blamed each other for
the demise. Both were re
sponsible. The main irony
here is that this article ran on
the Monday following the
Sunday Daytona 500, Ameri
ca’s second largest race with
over 250,000 in attendance.
And there was no Battalion
coverage of the race! The Bat
talion should provide at least
the minimal Associated Press
race coverage for the many
students, faculty and staff
who are auto or race enthu
siasts.
Another note: At least one
other track, Dover Downs In
ternational Raceway, operates
as a dual (horse and auto) fa
cility. Their twice per year
auto races are TREMEN
DOUS boosts to the local
economy.

Gamez & Bear in Norman’s way
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Greg Norman faces an old
friend and a new nemesis —Jack Nicklaus and Robert
Gamez — in his quest for the elusive green jacket this
week in the 54th Masters.
“Jack is Jack,” Norman said Wednesday of Nicklaus,
who last week won his first start on the Senior PGA
Tour. “His confidence is high and on the rise.
“He’s hitting the ball extremely well; hitting it high
and long. He has a new driver, a new putter. He’s lost
some weight. He strong and fit. He looks and acts like
he’s 35 instead of 50. He has that pride. He thinks he
can win.”
So does Gamez, the 21-year-old rookie who has won
two times on the PGA Tour this year. The second came
at the expense of Norman, when he holed a 176-yard
shot for an eagle-two on the final hole at Bay Hill in Or
lando.
Gamez, not awed after his first trip over the Augusta
National Golf Club course, said he viewed the Masters
“as another tournament,” and was “confident enough I
can win the championship on Sunday.”
“Gamez obviously is a very competent individual, but
he hasn’t felt it before,” Norman said. “He hasn’t felt
the Amen Corner or somebody’s bad breath down the
back of his neck. The more you play here, the more it
drains you.”
Only a last-hole bogey kept him out of playoffs in two
the last four years. Only Larry Mize’s playoff pitch-in
deprived him of a Masters title in 1987.
Lehmann
(Continued from page 11)
lefthanded strikeout pitcher in
baseball. And the A’s bring back all
of their prodigious longball hitters.
So how are the Rangers going to
win the West — a feat that they’ve
never managed in their 19-year
history?
With youth and experience.
Texas has the best of both.
Nolan Ryan was the best pitcher
in baseball last season and a team
leader. He led the majors with 301
strikeouts, and opposing hitters
managed only a . 187 average when
facing him.
Ruben Sierra is the best young
hitter in baseball. Last season he did
everything except sweep the stadium
after games. Sierra hit .306 with 29
homers and 119 RBI. He led the AL
in triples, extra base hits and
finished second in the American
League MVP balloting.
Over the last two years, Harold
Baines has been the best designated
hitter in the majors. He represented
the Chicago White Sox in last
season’s All-Star game, before Texas
acquired him in a mid-season trade
for Scott Fletcher, Wilson Alvarez
and Sammy Sosa.
Jeff Russell moved to the bullpen
last season, and notched 38 saves—-
the most in the AL. Russell also
made an All-Star game appearance
last year, his second in a row.
The defense has improved this
year with the addition of center
fielder Gary Pettis — one of the best
outfielders in baseball, but will that
be enough to beat the big three (A’s,
Angels and Royals) this year?
Yes. Although the Rangers still
need a steady shortstop, Oakland
won’t repeat this year.
The A’s lost team leaders Tony
Phillips and Dave Parker. The two
weren’t big offensive factors, but
were emotional spark plugs.
Futhermore, the A’s pitching staff
will become human again this year.
Although they have dominated the
league, they’re not the most talented
squad. This year that will become
blatantly obvious.
Even with Ryan and Russell, the
Rangers can’t go toe-to-toe with the
Royals’ pitching staff. But the Royals
were lucky to avoid injuries last
season, and with the loss of so much
spring training time, they won’t fare
as well this year.
The Angels were a fluke last
season. They got career years out of
a lot of players and have more holes
in their lineup this year than the
Rangers.
So, stop laughing and head for
Arlington. This is the year of the
Rangers.
NHL Playoffs
begin as Bruins,
Rangers quest
Associated Press
The Boston Bruins and New York
Rangers will try and defy NHL tra
dition by winning the Stanley Cup
with two goalies instead of one.
Both teams begin their quest in
that direction Thursday night when
the Wales Conference playoffs start.
The Bruins, champions of the Ad
ams Division and the team with the
most points (101) during the regular
season, will open a best-of-seven se
ries at home against the Hartford
Whalers.
The Rangers, winners of the Pat
rick Division — their first division ti
tle in 48 years — begin the chase for
their first Stanley Cup in 50 years at
home against the New York Island
ers.
In the other Adams Division
opener, Montreal will be at Buffalo,
while in the Patrick Division, it will
be Washington at New Jersey.
