A major disappointment for New York so far this season has been the sub-par performance of right-hander Bill Stafford.

With the exception of Al Kaline, one of the League's great outfielders, none of Detroit's key men is near his last year's performance. Rocky Colavito, for example, is still batting below .200 and has yet to get his first home-run of the year. Steve Boros was benched with a .221 average, and Jake Wood, besides playing a sloppy second base, is below .250.

The staff may come around; but if they don't soon, Detroit may be headed for a second-division finish.
