neapolis last season, and they've
got the stuff to win with the
Giants.
I'm also anxious to look at
Steve Ridzik, who they tell me
had a fine season in the Puerto

youngster who could help us as
q starter as well as reliever.
Sure, we have our problems.
But who hasn't?
Well be in trouble If Foster
Castleman can't play on account
of his knees. But he tells me the
surgery he had done this winter
has cleared up a lot of trouble.
We won't have a second-base

Daryl Spencer will get shot at
