Mumphrey gives cubs versatility Mesa Ariz. Up the Trade merited Only scant attention a Brief Blurb on the radio and a Short Story tucked on the sports pages of newspapers. However this seemingly minor Deal could provide the missing link in the Chi Cago cubs bid to get Back to the top of the National league East. During the Winter the cubs sent a prom Ising Rookie Billy Hatcher to the Houston astros for 33-year-old Veteran outfielder Jerry Mumphrey. Sceptical questions arose asking Why the cubs needed another outfielder when they already seemed deepen that area. By acquiring Jerry Mumphrey we got someone who can play three Outfield positions and play All three very Well said president general manager Dallas Green. And i mean very  Mumphrey has been successful wherever he has played. He has contributed to four organizations and is looking to do the Sam for the fifth. I m glad to have a Chance to help the cubs Mumphrey said. I m not going into it thinking about being a Reserve. I want a Chance to Battle for a starting  Mumphrey s statistics indicate he can still hit. In six seasons with the St. Louis cardinals the team that originally signed the switch hitter he improved his average each year reaching .295 in 1979. He then went to san Diego and batted .298 in his Lone season there. He then had a three year stint with the new York Yankees where he hit .300 or better twice. In his last three seasons with the astros he again hovered around .300 eventually winding up with a .290 aver age for three years. But Why would the cubs need mumps hey when they already have Keith More land Bobby Dernier Thad Bosley Gary Matthews and Davey Lopes it gives us versatility for one thing manager Jim Frey said. Besides Jerry is a switch hitter. He can give you punch off the Bench from either Side. That s quite a  the key to acquiring Mumphrey Proba Bly rests in the injury problems the 1985 cubs suffered. Matthews was Down for nearly half a season with a knee injury and Dernier missed time with a toe injury. If something happens it s going to be great to look Down the Bench and see a Jerry Mumphrey Down there Frey adds. Even if he does t win a starting spot Mumphrey can give the cubs needed late inning Glove insurance. Here is a Guy who can handle himself in All three positions and he has the great Speed still said Outfield coach Jimmy Piersall. Speaking of Speed Mumphrey claims to still have the kind that can help him Chase Down flies in the Wrigley Field Sun and also occasionally steal a base. I had knee trouble the last season and a a photo Jerry Mumphrey. Happy with Trade half Mumphrey said but i m still Capa ble of stealing  Mumphrey also would seem to be Well suited for a Reserve role. With the Cardi nals he was a steady if not appreciated performer. His one season with the padres May have been one of his Best but he was still not noticed. In his nearly three seasons with the Yan Kees he was again overshadowed by. Some of the More visible highly publicized Yan Kees. With the astros he was a steady per former on a team that never made a serious run at the no West title. It s also Good coming to a contender and knowing you have the Opportunity to con tribute and possibly win a Pennant Mumphrey said. Northwestern cans Cage coach Falk Evanston 111.
