Stengel Says '57 Glut
Good, Gives No Hints
Of Trades, Hew Players
(Editor note: Thii it the first
of 18 dltchn on the off-eaon
outlook or each major league team
for 1958, written by the managers
of each club.)
By CASEY STENGEL
Written for United Press
Gleadale, Calif. TP For some
strange' reason, everybody keeps
looking at)the Yankees and ask
Ing, "Are you going to make any
trades to strengthen the club?"
And I keep answering that the
1957 New York team was a good
club. It was ,ood enough to win
the American league pennant
and if, Crr th World Series

I've got all of apriog training and

Club ftlill tron
And I'm not dealing away sea
soned players unless I think I'm
going to get something better
Take a look rft our club.
Back of the plate Yogi Berra,
FiSton Howard and Darrell John
son give us all the depth we
need. Berra Is still my kind of
catcher.
Now look at the infield. Moose
Skowron and Marv Throneberry
and maybe Joe Collins fill the
bill at first. Bob Richardson
showed me plenty of stuff at sec
ond base and what's wrong with
Gil McDougald at shortstop? All
I know is that people like Frank
Lane of Cleveland keep trying
to get him.
And at third we got Andy
Carey, Jerry Lumpe and I can
use Tony Kubek in the infield
if I need him there. Any way
you look at It, I'm more pro
tected in the infield than any
club In the league.
Has Bench Strength
Right now, if I had to field
a club my outfield probably
would have Mickey Mantle at
center, Hank Bauer in right and
Norm Siebern in left field. That
still leaves me strong guys like
Enos Slaughter and Harry Simp
son even if I don't use Kubek
as an outfielder. And I've got
Bobby Del Greco for insurance
and that Guy Howard can fit in
if he isn't catching or playing
first.
Siebern was the player of the
year in the American association
and he could be another great
Yankee outfielder, so that's why
I put him down as a starter. We
may not start him right off, but
he's too good not to play a lot.
Pitching Is Good
Our pitching must be good or
the other clubs wouldn't be
shooting out feelers for them.
But If they're trying to get away
guys like Johnny Kucks and
some of the others then I start

thinking what they can do for
the Yankees.
Whitey Ford ended the season
strong and there's no reason why
he can't start off that way. Bob
Turley has lots of stuff and Don
Larsen can do it again if he gets
off to a good start. I'm counting
on Bob Grim and Al Cicotte and
there's always Tom Sturdivant to
take his turn. And there's still
some good pitching left in Sal
Maglie and Tommy Byrne.
Sure, the White Sox and De
troit were helped by some of
their trades. Billy Martin should
give the Tigers a big boost. And
the Red Sox possibly will play
better this coming year. But we
had a lot of tough luck, too, and
could have finished even strong
er without it.
That's why right now I'm
standing pat and looking, not
dealing.

In rufusing to act in the strike,
Harriman lined up behind May

Harriman said the strike was
