Braves Should Have
Golid Team in 1959
(Thii is the first of 1ft
dispatches by lb major
league managers giving
mid - winter appraisals of
their plans.)
By FRED HANEY
Manager, Milwaukee Braves
(Written for UPI)
Los Angeles -(LTD- Milwau
kee should have a good, solid
team again this year when
the National league season
starts if we are lucky and
avoid the injuries that caused
us so much trouble in 1958.
But we will miss that spark-plug-that
come through guy
Red Schoendienst. I know he
will be rooting for us and you
can bet the entire Milwaukee
club is pulling for him.
Even though Red missed a
lot of action, his presence
even on the bench was an as
set to us. He's a great com
petitor and I'm looking for
ward to having him back with
the club in 1960.
Stronger on Mound
If all goes well, we should
be stronger on the mound this
year than we were in 1958.
Obviously Lew Burdette and
Warren Spahn again will be
the mainstays of our staff. But
the Braves will have some
good youngsters with a year
more of experience like Carl
ton Willey, Joey Jay and Juan
Pizarro. They should be ready
to take their regular turns.
Gene Conley was probably
the most unlucky pitcher in
the majors last year. He pitch
ed wonderful ball but some
how the team didn't win when
he was throwing. That should
n't happen again.
I can't remember a team I
managed that had so many
Injuries in the early part of
the season. We didn't get to
use Bill Bruton until about
half the season was over. And
Wes Covington was in bad
shape all season but still was
a great asset. Hank Aaron, of
course, was a real help and I
look forward to another good
season for him.
Infield Looks Good
Mel Roach did a tremen
dous job for us in the infield

"weaknesses" in . his light
heavyweight opponent, Roque
Maravilla, before the TV cam

his strategy as he goes along

he was beaten in his last out

should be back strong to fill
the gap caused by the loss of
Schoendienst this season. And
we have such veterans as Ed
die Mathews, Joe Adcock,
Frank Torre, Johnny Logan
and Felix Mantilla.
So the infield looks to be in
pretty good shape and maybe
this year I won't have to use
my infielders in the outfield
so much because of injuries
there.
Behind the plate Del Cran
dall and Del Rice will be our
mainstays as usual.

Babe Ruth in home runs and
a member of baseball's Hall

"It was a shock," said Foxx
at his home here.
"Joe Cronin (Red Sox gen

organization," he said.
