Forget the cold; spring training is here
The Associated Press
The long wait is over, baseball fans. After another winter filled with too many things that only serve to draw the focus off the field, today is the day that everyone waits for — the first day of spring training.
It's time for pitchers and catchers to report.
More than half the 28 teams — including the expansion Colorado Rockies — started camp yesterday.
So there only a commissioner. So Marge Schott's suspension hasn't taken effect. So George Steinbrenner is about to come back. So contracts have zoomed even more into the millions of dollars.
Starting today, victories and losses will again be counted in the standings, not the salary arbitration charts.
ANALYSIS
So what?
Even though it's still a long way to opening day on April 5, or even the exhibition openers on March 4, there's plenty to watch.
The Texas Rangers open camp today, and that means Nolan Ryan will soon be in Port Charlotte, Fla. At 46, this will be the last roundup for the Ryan Express, who will set his 51st major league record this year by playing in his 27th season.
Ryan, it seems, is one of the few players who didn't change teams during the winter.
In case you missed reading the transactions column for a day or two, here are some of the stars in new places this spring: Barry Bonds, Greg Maddux, Andre Dawson, Paul Winfield, Dave Stewart, Paul Molitor,
Wade Boggs, Doug Drabek, Jimmy Key, Jim Abbott, David Cone and Kevin Mitchell.
The World Series champion Toronto to Blue Jays were one of the busiest teams, adding Molitor and Stewart and losing Winfield, Cone, Key, Tom Henke, Kelly Gruber and Candy Maldonado.
The Atlanta Braves, losers in the last two World Series, added Maddux.
If recent history holds true, a few more big names might be trading places in the next month or so, once teams figure out what they need and what's available. Also, there are a couple of well-known free agents looking for jobs, with Pedro Guerrero and Jeff Russell leading the list.
Colorado, holding camp in Tucson,
Ariz., and the Florida Marlins, who
headed north for spring training in
Cocoa, Fla., are full of familiar names.
including Charlie Hough, Walt Weiss,
Andrea Galgrave and Charlie Hawes
Rockies' manager Don Baylor is one of a few first-time managers this year, along with Tony Perez in Cincinnati. Dusty Baker in San Francisco and Kevin Kennedy in Texas, Lou Pinilla, meanwhile, has moved from Cincinnati to Seattle.
Those new men will get plenty of scrutiny once the regular season starts. In the meantime, there are some comebacks to consider.
In Sarasota, Fla., Bo Jackson has been working out this week at the Chicago White Sox camp, seeing if his plastic-and-metal artificial left hip can hold up. In Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Steve Howe returned from his seventh drug-related suspension and arrived two days ahead of the New York Yankees' first workout.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Duke having a devil of a time in conference play
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Once able to hold the upper hand on all of college basketball, Duke now can't even doit its own conference.
Ing no. 23 Virginia a 58-55 victory against the seventh-ranked Blue Devils. It marked the first time since 1909 that Dionist back-to-back games to anybody, and the first time since 1909 the Blue Devils were swept by an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent.
Virginia, 16-5 overall and 8-4 in the ACC, took sole possession of fourth place and dumped Duke, 19-5 and 7-5, into the league's second tier.
"I don't think I've ever felt as good about an offensive performance as ugly as that one," said Virginia coach Jeff Jones, whose Cavaliers shot 36.8 percent and had 18 turnovers.
Cory Alexander scored 20 points, and Ted Jeffries had 10 for Virginia. Duke, playing in its first game since losing leading scorer Grant Hill to a sprained toe, got 16 from Cherokee Parks and 14 from Thomas Hill, who was hold scoreless in the final 16 minutes.
Bobby Hurley, Duke's No. 2 scoring threat behind Hill, was held to eight points. He had nine assists but made six turnovers.
