Replacement players hit the field for spring training
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — On the first day of spring training, all the essential elements were there—players in pinstripes, a manager watching over them and temperatures hovering near 80 degrees with a cool, ocean breeze.
The Associated Press
It was all so perfect yesterday as the New York Yankees opened camp,but it was all so wrong, too.
Baseball was back, but it wasn't the real thing.
There were 27 players in Yankees uniforms, but they were not the real
Yankees. They were low-level, minor leaguers and replacement players, not the heroes the fans wanted to see on this day usually anticipated more than any other once the World Series ends.
Almost none of those at Yankees camp have major league — or even Triple A — experience, but they were wearing real Yankees pants, real Yankees caps and real Yankees practice blues.
The real players were on strike for the 189th straight day, and many of them met with their union head in Orlando. No other formal workouts
were held by the other 27 teams, although pitchers and catchers did report at several other training sites.
Yankees owner George Steinbrenner also came to camp and used the opportunity to call for an immediate resumption of talks with some new faces at the bargaining table.
The two sides haven't met together since spurning President Clinton's demand for a settlement earlier this month at the White House. Acting commissioner Bud Selig and union head Donald Fehr spent three of the past five days testifying before Congress, which is contemplating
legislation that would end the strike.
"I'm a little embarrassed for the fans that we couldn't get this settled after seven months or so," Steinbrenner said. "We haven't lost the fans, but some day in the too distant future we may."
But baseball has lost some of the fans. At Fort Lauderdale Stadium, despite free admission, row upon row of seats were empty. Attendance topped at about 75. Normally, a couple hundred would turn out for the opening of camp.
The manager and coaches went through the motions, watching players with far inferior skills.
New manager Phil Regan and his staff went through a series of meetings before jumping in a car and driving to Orlando for the meeting there.
At Orioles camp in Sarasota, minor leaguers showed up at the team hotel and bypassed the main training complex. Baltimore is the only team that is refusing to field a replacement team. Regular players would have been due to report yesterday.
"We'll just have to be patient until the major leaguers get here," Regan said. "I'm optimistic that it will happen, hopefully real soon."
'Phi Slama Jama II' in Houston creates jam at guard spot
The Associated Press
It also appears to have further decayed the
HOUSTON — For Houston basketball fans, their old Rockets have a new look. Or is it their new Rockets have an old look?
The mid-season overhaul of the defending NBA champions adds Clyde Drexler and his 22-point average, boosting Houston's scoring punch. But the trade also sent forward Otis Thorpe to Portland, leaving a hole in the front-court that Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich must scramble to fill.
Portland reserve forward Tracy Murray also was sent with Drexler for Thorpe, a conditional first-round draft pick this year and the rights to Marcelo Nicola, who plays in Europe.
team's situation with suspended guard Vernon Maxwell, who failed to show at practice Wednesday for the second time this week.
Drexler and Murray took their physicals Wednesday but didn't practice with the Rockets because Thorpe had not yet been examined by the Trail Blazers. Wednesday's reunion celebration was marred by the latest disappearance by
"This is a dream come true," Drexler said. "This is Phi Slama Jana II, on the professional level."
Drexler and Houston center Hakeem Olajuon, however, were all smiles about the trade that brought together the driving forces of "Phi Slama Jama," the slam-dunking University of Houston team that made back-to-back Final Four appearances in the early 1980s.
Maxwell, who is allowed to practice despite a 10-game suspension imposed by the NBA for punching a fan in Portland last week.
Maxwell was a no-show Monday because of what team officials called a miscommunication, but he had promised to attend workouts Wednesday. His repeat absence was not well-received by Tomianovich.
Although Tomjanovich said he talked to Maxwell, he refused to speculate whether Maxwell was disgruntled about Drexler's arrival, which likely means less playing time.
Torjanovich said he didn't expect the trade to produce drastic and immediate improvement.
"We're not going to get magic results in a week," Tomjanovich said. "Human beings take time to adjust to one another."
He said he planned to try different combinations with his new roster, which now has a surplus of guards and a shortage at forward.
The logiam comes at the No. 2 guard spot, where Drexler, Maxwell and Mario Elie all play. Tomjanovich said it meant added flexibility.
The Rockets also aren't ruling out another deal before the Feb. 23 trading deadline.
Drexler joins a Houston team in third place in the Midwest Division, four games behind Utah. They have the fifth-best record in the Western Conference at 30-17.
"There's still a little time left," Weinhauer said. "We'll continue to explore all options just like we've done in the past. If something shows up that seems to be in the best interest for us, then that's what we'll consider."
