Honevcutt earns comeback honors after trade
By United Press International
NEW YORK — Rick Honeycutt, who posted the best earned run average in the American League before being traded to the National League with six weeks remaining in the season, yesterday was named the American League's Comeback Player of the Year by United Press International.
The 29-year-old left-hander rebounded from a dismal 1982 campaign in which he recorded a 5-17 mark with a 5.27 ERA. This year he posted a 14-8 record with a league-best 2.42 ERA with Texas Rangers before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 19.
In a vote by 32 UPI baseball correspondents, Honeycutt had seven votes to beat outfielder Ken Griffey of the New York Yankees for the award. Griffey received five votes and pitcher Dave Righett of the Yankees and catcher Ted Simmons of the Milwaukee Brewers each received three votes.
"ITS SOMETHING that's nice, coming back after a poor season," Honeycutt said when reached in Los Angeles. "It's two-prong because you
have to have had a poor year the season before to win it."
Honeycutt attribuited his turn-around to an offseason conditioning program similar to the type used by Steve Tewell with Denny of the Philadelphia Phillies.
"Last winter there was a lot of pressure on Frank Tanana and I, so we decided to go on a new program," said Honeycutt. "We got it from Gus Poelling. We talked about how important I got the idea from an article on Carton. We pursued it and tried it.
"Steve does a much more intense workout. The program we were on was a stretching and flexing routine. We did it every day. I'm going to do this sometime this week and get a program that will hopefully be at a next level."
HONEYCUT MADE 25 starts for the Rangers and completed five games, including two shutouts. He worked 174 innings, in just 37 batters against striking out 56.
However, since Honeycutt was in the final year of his contract and could opt for free-agency at the end of the season, the Rangers decided to trade
him rather than risk getting nothing in return for him. The Dodgers, on the other hand, were looking for an extra striking pitcher to help them down the stretch.
On Aug. 19 a deal was made between the two clubs and Honeycust was swapped for pitcher Dave Stewart and a minor leaguer. Honeycust started off well with his new club and won his first two starts, both against the Philadelphia Phillies. But, in each ensuing start he was hit hard and ended the regular season and the post-season playoffs in the bulleen.
"WHEN YOU GO INTO a new situation, it's not like starting over, but it's a new learning process," said Honeycutt, in trying to explain how he learned six years in, it's a little like having to prove yourself again."
Others receiving votes for AL Comebacker Player of the Year were pitcher Kern Schrom of Minnesota, outfielder Dan Ford of Baltimore, pitcher Ron Gudrych of Chicago, shortstop Luzinzi of Chicago, shortstop Bucky Dent of Texas, pitcher Aureloh Lopez of Detroit, catcher Carl Fisk of Chicago, designated hitter Cliff
Johnson of Toronto, pitcher Frank Tanana of Texas and pitcher Randy Moffitt of Toronto.

chance to meet the athletes and coaches of all women's sports at KU, said Peg Wittmer, vice-president of public relations for the organization.
