Minkoff Chicago up Rick Sutcliffe is to Carly a Man who Doest believe in there Are enough of them hovering Over the Chicago cubs in his first full season with the defending National league Eastern division there is a hex of being a by Young award pitchers in recent history who have won the award have gone on to mediocre campaigns the following then there is the matter of receiving a Lon term Sutcliffe ended the most intense free agent bidding War of the Winter by resigning with the cubs for a reported million Over five but the bearded 28year old righthand or int worried about having any extra pressure on him in i dont believe in Sutcliffe in not going to put any More pressure on myself to perform the Way that i did last certainly winning the by Young award or signing a Lon term contract int going to affect my performance on the Sutcliffe will have to go a Long Way to duplicate his Hal season performance with the he went 161 after being acquired from Cleveland on june 13 in a seven player Deal and was Given credit for being the key to the cubs second half Pennant he did manage to break the club record for most consecutive victories 16 fore finally losing at Montreal last april 19 for Only his second loss with the even cubs general manager Dallas who engineered the Deal that brought Sutcliffe to Chicago and then waged a successful Battle to keep him from leaving the has already con ceded the chances of going 161 again would be i dont know if anyone could have that kind of season Green but you know if anyone is capable of coming Rick Sutcliffe is that Sutcliffe need not look too far to find other pitchers who had remarkable sea sons and received postseason honors and then dropped Down the following in John another former won the by Young award with the

by the sox in the in Pete Vuckovich won the by Young award with the Brewers with 18 the next saddled with Arm he didst win a the year Rollie fingers of Milwaukee won the same award and then never matched his effectiveness because of a series of in those things Only happen to you if you let them bother Sutcliffe my teammates were a great inspiration to me and a Large reason Why i was so Success its easy to be a Winner when your Guys Are always scoring five and six runs for you in the opening what concerns More baseball observers is the effect Lon term contracts have on players the White sox rewarded their pitching staff with hefty contracts in 1983 Only to see Hoyt and others not come close to meeting their previous seasons records in even Green is aware of the i know the effect Lon term contracts Are having on baseball Green Lis a real Challenge to those to keep up their Levels of intensity after they sign these Lon term Green and Sutcliffe Are confident the big contract wont be a i know some of the fans Are expecting a photo Chicago right hander Rick Sutcliffe i know some of the fans Are expecting a but so am a but so am Sutcliffe i think there is a Job to be done Way won the division last we didst make it to the world there is still that a big for me and the Green insists Sutcliffe sensible approach to the game will help him Ward on any letdown in Rick is a special Type of he is an intense competitor while at the same time possessing a Low key Type of personal Green Sutcliffe does throw As Well As he did in the latter half of he May be As Tough As anyone to but Sutcliffe want Al ways As successful As he was Over the final four months of before coming to he was Only 45 with the after winning the Rookie the year award in 1979 with los he slumped to Only five
