14 Friday, March 4, 1994 SPORTS UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Retirement, rain and contract renewals Spring training rounds the bases with ball players By The Associated Press He was one of the most promising shortstop prospects in years when he came up with the California Angels in 1979. He hit .286 with 20 homers and 79 RBIs for Houston in 1983 at the age of 25. Then, five games into the 1984 season, Dickie Thon was beamed in the head by a Mike Torrez pitch. His career was never the same after that. On Wednesday, Thon called it quits after 14 years in the majors, saying continuing problems with his vision were forcing him to retire. Thon experienced vision problems and severe headaches periodically during the past decade since being hit in the head by the pitch. Thon's agent, Oscar Suearen, told the Oakland Athletics that Thon was having problems seeing batted balls on defense. "Dickie looked pretty good at the plate," A's manager Tony La Russa said. "But looking back at it, there definitely was a time or two when he didn't react as well as I know he could on defense. It's a tough break, because he's guy I always wanted to have plaving for me." Thon also played for California, San Diego and Milwaukee and ends his career with a.264 batting average, 71 HBs and 435 RBIs. Rain washed out several intrasquid games Wednesday, but the Florida Martins managed a nine-inning exhibition game with Florida State University and may have found themselves a prospect. Seminoles freshman David Yocum struck out the side in the first inning, retiring veterans Bret Barberie, Dave Magadan and Jeff Conine. The Marlins eventually won the game 7-2. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds had intraquad games canceled. An early-morning downpour forced the Pittsburgh Pirates to call off an exhibition game with the Pacific Dolphins of the Korean League. The Chicago White Sox practiced indoors, and Michael Jordan was not unhappy. "My body needs to recuperate," he said. "My lower body is great because I don't play on it as much as basketball. My hands have taken a beating, and my shoulders and my waist are sore." Jordan is looking forward to today's first intrasquad game at Ed Smith Stadium where there is a 50-50 chance he'll face Cy Young winner Jack McDowell. The makeup of teams was not revealed Wednesday, so Jordan could go against rookie James Baldwin. said Jordan, scheduled to play all six innings in right field. The Montreal Expos renewed the contract of Pedro Martinez, the pitcher obtained from the Los Angeles Dodgers for second baseman Delino DeShields. The Colorado Rockies agreed to terms with their last unsigned player, Armando Reynoso, just one day before the deadline for renewal of contracts. Reynoso, 12-11 with a 4.00 ERA, got a split major league-minor league contract worth $200,000. "I was expecting a little more respect from management, coming over here in a big trade for a player who's making $2.5 million," said a clearly milted Martinez of DeShields, who actually is making $2.7 million. Pitcher Rod Beck, shortstop Royce Clayton and center fielder Darren Lewis agreed to one-year contracts with the San Francisco Giants. The Baltimore Orioles signed pitcher Jim Poole and outfielder Damon Buford, and the St. Louis Cardinals signed four players at low salaries and renewed the contract of injured pitcher Donovan Osborne for $112,000 — a 20 percent cut. Rookie first baseman left fielder Ryan Klesko agreed to a one-year contract with the Braves for $11,000. The Mets signed three players — Ryan Thompson, Mauro Gozzo and Tito Navaro, all one-year deals. The Phillies renewed the contracts of notcher Jeff Juden and Bobby Munoz. Mike Greenwell's bid to negotiate a longterm contract extension with the Boston Red Sox ended in failure. Membership has its privileges...
