With the bright exception of at least one rookie, Tito Francona, however, the long ball, the knockout punch, has not been evident thus far this spring. The key players may be regarded as Hal Smith, the No. 1 catcher, and Gus Trlandos, the first baseman who also spells Smith on occasion behind the plate. Richards' penchant for shuffling reshuffling personnel and position is well Known, and today's guess about who will play where may be entirely different tomorrow.
