IN: 2B Tony Taylor, *RF Jim Northrup, MR Larry Sherry
OUT: CL Ray Narleski, SS Ron Hansen, MR Bill Fischer, CF Jimmy Wynn

New GM Brendan Harris begins a slow rebuild after losing top flight closer Narleski and 4-time Gold Glove shortstop Hansen.  Koosman poised for breakout year, which could lift team to .500. 
  

IN: IN: *SS Dave Concepcion, *SP Rich Robertson, CL Fred Scherman
OUT: SP Johnny Kucks

Top offense returns intact, led by 2-3-4 punch of McAuliffe, Aaron, and Mantle, making Bas automatic contenders, but with a shallow rotation and three rookies in the bullpen, new GM Judd Lasher will be hard up to defend East title.
 

IN: 3B Paul Schaal, SP Don Cardwell, CF Jimmy Wynn, *CF Elliott Maddux, SP Bob Veale, C Andy Etchebarren
OUT: CF Curt Flood

Distinct smell of slash-and-burn on the shores of Lake Erie, as GM Charlie Qualls retools after his first losing season in six years.  Flood's departure makes weak offense even more flaccid.
  

IN: --
OUT: --

No changes other than Demeter, who is in deep freeze until August nursing a broken wrist.  Howard, Menke, and Ramos all coming off of off-years.  Run at .500 will depend on healthy Jay and strong return by Bill Hands.

IN: SP Jim Perry
OUT: CL Russ Kemmerer

Gurganus' Gray Sox have been pegged as preseason favorites, and for good reason.  23 of 25 men are returning from last year's 91-win team, including MVP Torre and Cy winner Podres, and Jim Perry more than compensates for loss of Kemmerer.
 

IN: *Bernie Carbo, C Sammy Taylor, *C Ray Fosse, *2B Dave Cash, *LF Joe Rudi
OUT: RF Leon Wagner, 1B Dick Stuart, RF Willie Kirkland, SS Bill Mazeroski

Doug Aiton's squad may be the youngest in the league (13 players under 25), but oozes with talent.  Ace Entire rotation poised for breakout years and three rookies at top of lineup are no pushovers.
 

IN: CL Ray Narleski, *LF Roy Foster, *1B Joe Hague, 3B Sal Bando, C Ellie Hendricks
OUT: SP Jim Perry, 3B Paul Schaal, C Ed Herrmann

GM Glen Reed needs strong seasons from sophomore righthander Timmermann and slow-developing lefty Lopez, who returns to UL after 4 years in minors.
  

IN: RF Roberto Clemente, *CF Amos Otis, SP Johnny Kucks, *CL Bob D. Johnson, SS Bill Mazeroski, MR Bill Fischer
OUT: 1B Sammy Taylor

Revamped outfield with veteran Clemente and speedy rookie Otis, but Colts won't escape cellar unless Sing Sing finds his voice.

IN: RF Willie Kirkland, *SP Jack Billingham, *Cesar Cedeno
OUT: --

Texans field their best pitching staff in years, and good production from Bailey and Bench could boost an already-potent offense.

IN: RF Leon Wagner, SP Joe Gibbon
OUT: C Earl Averill

With no one to fill Demeter's shoes and rotation flimsy after Peterson and Dierker, L.A. could see another year of decline.  Frank just 46 homers shy of 500.

IN: CL Russ Kemmerer, CF Curt Flood, *3B Graig Nettles, 1B Dick Stuart, C Ed Herrmann, C Earl Averill
OUT: RF Roberto Clemente, 2B Tony Taylor

The champs shore up their offense with Flood and Nettles and add depth across the board, but will GM Tim Smith's overachieving pitching staff maintain its form?
 

IN: *Thurmon Munson, SS Ron Hansen, *SP Tom Griffin
OUT: --

After only 2 winning seasons in the '60s, no one was happier to see the decade rollover than GM Jeff Tonole.  Offense gets boost from Munson, and defense from 4-time Gold Glove Hansen, but all eyes will be on the attempted comeback of '68 Cy/ROY Bob Moose.
