K 1- A II O M A (TTV. Feb. II. If one could look into the mystery hall and tell whether "Frisco" Thompson will land on the Pirate Infield or wheth er ho will come to Oklahoma City, he would be safe In announcing at this time tho In dian lineup for the opening game of tho 1995 AVest ern league pennant race just 90 day's 'distant. It. would be something like this: F. Thompson, second base. McNally, shortstop. Felber. right field. McDaniel, first base. T. Thompson, eenterfield. Dagarman, leftfield. Kliadot. thirij base. Benn or Fitzpatrick, catcher. May or Allen, pifclicr. ■Save for the pitching department, the ftfrmer Omaha second baseman Is the key' to the makeup In the Okla homa City baseball rtub. If the Pirates cannot use "Frisco" next summer, be conies to the In dians. If he comes to Ihe Indians he will play second base. If he plays second base. McNally will be switched to shortstop. If McNally goes »o stmrt, Khadot will be switched to third base. If Kliadot goes to third base, Joe Tate will be sold or traded. And that's hr^v it stands. McKechnie w ill not make a decision on Thompson until the Pirates come to Oklahoma Pity in April for a series of exhibition games. Therefore until that time McNally will be found at second as usual, Khadot at short and Tate or Menze at third. Menze switched to first base from the outfield late last season after 'It Daniel had been injured, and looked so good that he has asked for a chance to see what he ran do ground third base in the spring framing camp. 1 nless a deal should be made f„r his transfer before then, ids re quest will be granted. Manager I et tigrew declares. Although Joe Tate has been more or less dissattsfied here the last two seasons and has expressed the belief that be might be able to do better on some Other teem, President Holland Is loath to give him nr unless he can use him In V>me kind of a deal w hicli would Strengthen liis pitching staff. Tate didn't get his batting per-en tage quite UP to the .3f>0 mark Inst season, but he broke up many a game with his timely smashes. Further more, unless Tate remains, the team will be lopsided with right handed batters. Tate, Tommy Thompson and McDaniel are the only free-swinging, natural left handfd batters on the team, although Khadot aspires to per fect his nearside stance, having switched over from a right-hander last season. Felber and Hagerman. two of the three outfielders, drive from the off side, as do McNally. Menze and both Benn and Fitzpatrick. Anyway the infield is finally ar CRAMER BROTHERS BEAT WAHOO TEAM Wv more. Neb. Feb.
