THE BAYTOWN SUN
Tuesday, December 5, 198*?
Free agents
slow trades
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —
The winter meetings have turned
into a game of Monopoly with
the free agents holding all the
good cards — and the mopey.
Baseball’s annual trade show
got off to a slow start Monday
with only one deal. The New
York Yankees sent catcher Don
Slaught to the Pittsburgh Pirates
for right-handers Jeff Robinson
and Willie Smith.
Several players who arc not
free agents arc also on the
market, but come with expen-
sive strings attached.
Among them is Joe Carter,
late of the Cleveland Indians.
He’s on his way to the San
Diego Padres, according to sour-
ces, but only if he reaches a con-
tract agreement with the Na-
tional League team. J
Carter is eligible for free
agency at the end of the 1990
season and the Indians don’t
think they can re-sign him. Car-
ter wants $3 million a year for at
least three seasons* and most
clubs want the Indians to sign
him before making the trade.
But the Padres, who will send
prized catching prospect Sandy
Alomar Jr.-io the Indians along
with other players, have until
Wednesday afternoon to get
Carter’s name on a new
agreement.
- The Kansas City Royals hdd
appeared willing to take Carter
on an unconditional basis for
outfielder Danny Tartabull and
catcher Mike Mcfarlanc before
the Padres stepped in late Mon-
day night.
Several potential trades were
being delayed as the big-ticket
free agents decided their futures.
American League MVP Ro-
bin Yount, who was thought to
be close to deciding from among
Milwaukee, California and San
Diego, may not choose until af-
ter the meetings end on Thurs-
day. It wasn’t immediately
known whether the movement
of Carter to San Diego might
prompt a move by Yount.
Reliever Mark Davis has an
offer of at least $15 million for
five years from the Philadelphia
Phillies. But the Padres, the
team for which Davis had 44
saves this season, and the New
York Yankees arc. also in the
running.
The Yankees on Monday
would not comment on their ne-
gotiations with Davis.
If'Davis decides on the Phill-
ies, he may be used as a starter
with Roger McDowell and Jeff
Parrett in relief.
But .could Davis win a Cy
Young Award.as a starter with
the Phillies?
If.Davis decides not to sign
with New York, the Yankees
may go after free agent reliever
Jeff Reardon.
Should Yount sign with the
Angels, 'California could get
another hitter by offering center
fielder Devon White and pitcher
Kirk McCaskill,
Other attractive free agents
include outfielder Hubic Brooks,
inficldcr Tony Phillips, first
baseman Pete O’Brien and *
pitchers Storm Davis, Fernando
Valenzuela and Craig Lcffcrts.
Stomi Davis, who was 19-7
for the Oakland A’s, has offers
from Texas, Philadelphia, Mon-
treal, St. Louis and the Yankees.
Free agent pitcher Floyd Ban-
nistcr on .Monday signed a two-,
year contract with the Yakult
Swallows in Japan. Bannister,
133-142 lifetime, was 4-1 with
Kansas City last season. He.
missed most of the year follow-
ing rotator"cuff surgery. '
Two other big hitters who arc
also eligible for free agency af-
ter the 1990 season arc Eric Da-
vis of the Cincinnati Reds and
Darryl Strawberry of the New
York Mcts.
Strawberry, who is in his op-
tion year with New York, wants
more than $12 million over
three years. He has given the
Mcts a deadline of Feb. 1 to
make the deal. ,---------*
Other big names that circu-
lated in trade- possibilities on
Monday were Montreal's Tim
Raines, Texas’ Rafael Palmeiro,
Chicago’s Bobby Thigpen ajid
Boston’s Mike Grccnwcll."
"The® Red Sox want some
pitching, including Tom Gla-
vinc, but the Braves backed off.

Jackets nip Pitt
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) —
The Big East and Atlantic Coast
Conference split on the first
night of the eight-game chal-
lenge sdries.
Georgia Tech coach Bobby
Cremins appears to be the big
winner, however.
He watched’his 18th-ranked
Yellow Jackets come back from
an 18-point first-half deficit to
beat No. 22 Pittsburgh 93-92 on
a last-second shot by Dennis
Scott. «
It was much more than the
victory that mattered to Cre-
mins. It was how his team did it.
Scott finished with 42 points
and his fellow perimeter players
— Brian Oliver and Kenny An-
derson — had 21 and 20, re-
spectively. That’s all but 10 of
Georgia Tech’s points.
“For us to be good, those
three guys have to click and they
do complement each other very .
well,” Cremins said. “There’s
the ballhandling of Kenny, the
shooting of Dennis and the re-
bounding and driving ability of
Brian Oliver. They showed to-
night what they can do.”
Scott hit 14 of 26 shots from
the field and was 8-for-14 from
3-point range in racking up his
career high.

Seattle’s big plays
1 *11 1 *
send Bills reeling
SEATTLE (AP) — The
Buffalo Bills have made win-
ning plays much of the sea-
son. The Seattle Seahawks
most definitely have not.
Surprise! Guess who made
the most big plays Monday
night?
The Seahawks (5-8) broke
a four-game slide and handed
the Bills- a damaging 17-16
defeat. It was Buffalo’s fourth
straight road loss and just ab-
out ruined the Bills’ chances
of catching Denver for the
AFC’s best record.
The game was won with
5:38 remaining when Dave
Krieg scrambled away from a
strong rush, lobbed the ball
over linebackter Ray Bentley
and hit John L. Williams. The
speedy fullback ran down the
knocked over Nate Odomes
as he stepped into the end
zone to complete a 51-yard
score.
“It was one of those im-
promptu plays that Dave is
good at making,” said Wil-
liams, who spoke with CBS
Radio and then refused to talk
to other reporters and left the
locker room. “We were run-
ning that play all game and he
never threw it to me.
“Blades made a good
block on the play. I had to get
it in the end zone some way. I
knew we had to get it in there
at that particular time.”
It was the last of a bunch of
key plays on both sides. Ear-
lier, on a similar play, Krieg
hjt rookie tight end Travis
MtNeal for 48 yards. That
was Seattle’s longest play of
