'M' draftees ink pacts

By RON POLLACK
The big question is, why?
Why did Michigan outfielder Jim
Paciorek, a first-team All-American,
last until the eighth round of baseball's
summer free agent draft when the
Milwaukee Brewers finally took him?
"IT'S LIKE THE man who kissed the
cow, everyone has their own taste,"
said Ed Katalinas, the Detroit Tigers'
Coordinator of Scouting. "Not
everyone rates a player the same way.
When you're putting your scouting
reports together, you do so from 50
states. And every region has its top
players. But other regions might have
better prospects. I do think he'll play in
the majors though."
Milwaukee's Assistant Farm and
Scouting Director, Dan Duquette,
wasn't sure why Paciorek lasted as
long as he did, but aded that the
Brewers were only too happy to take
him in the eighth round.
"We were concentrating on pitchers
up until that time," said Duquette. "We
only took one outfielder before Jim.
Frankly, we were surprised that Jim
was around in the eighth round,
because our scouts had him rated
highly.
"ALL OUR scouts say he has above-
average major league power, is ver-
satile in the positions he can play, has a
strong body and has an average major
league arm. We're excited to have
him."
Paciorek hit a Michigan-record 17
home runs this past season and drove in
65 runs. He hit .443 on the year.
Paciorek signed a one-year contract
Wednesday night and has been
assigned to the Brewers' farm team in
Beloit, Wisc. of the Midwest League.
"He'll play either right field or left
field," said Duquette. "We expect him
to contribute right away."
DRAFTED BEFORE Paciorek was
Michigan shortstop Tony Evans, who

was taken by the Cincinnati Reds in the
sixth round.
Evans was only a junior last season,
and as such could have returned to
Michigan next year. Instead, he signed
a one-year contract Wednesday night
and will be assigned to the Reds' club in
Billings of the Pioneer Rooke League.
"Basically in a ball player, we look
for running, throwing, fielding and hit-
ting," said Larry Doughty, Cincinnati's
Assistant Scouting Director. "And we
feel that Tony has all of these. We feel
that he has the desire to make it."
ANOTHER Wolverine who was draf-
ted was catcher John Young. The team
that drafted him undoubtedly had little
difficulty in getting out to Ann Arbor to
scout Young - the team was the

Detroit Tigers.
"He's a good prospect, or else we
wouldn't have taken him in the 19th
round," said the Tigers' Katalinas.
"He has an outstanding arm and a good
chance of making it. Catchers can go a
long way."
Young only hit.259 this past season,
but such a statistic does not worry
Katalinas in the least.
"A CATCHER doesn't have to hit too
much," said Katalinas. "If he can cat-
ch and throw, he can play. Running is
the big game now and you have to throw
them out."
The only Michigan player to be slec-
ted in the first two rounds was pit-
cher Steve Ontiveros. Ontiveros
became the last player taken in the

second round when Oakland chose him.
Ontiveros compiled a 6-2 record and
1.94 ERA on the year. He was a junior,
and as such could come back to play for
Michigan next season.
One Wolverine player who attracted
some interest from the pros but has
spurned such offers is second baseman
Jeff Jacobson. Jacobson, a second-
team All-American last season as a
junior was contacted by the Tigers and
Chicago White Sox, but decided not to
accept either offer.
Jacobson, a good fielder, batted .389
last season. His 14 doubles tied him
with Paciorek for second on the
Michigan team behind only Greg
Schulte's 17. His six home runs were
second only to Paciorek's 17.

Oglivie's double lifts
Brewers to 9-7 win

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Ben Oglivie's
two-run double in the eighth inning lif-
ted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 9-7 vic-
tory over Baltimore yesterday, snap-
ping the Orioles' five-game winning
streak.
Oglivie's double off reliever Tim
Stoddard made a winner out of reliever
Rollie Fingers, 3-5, who pitched the
final three innings.
JIM GANTNER led off the eighth
with his thrid single of the day and was
sacrificed to second by Paul Molitor.
Stoddard, the fourth Orioles pitcher,
then relieved loser Tippy Martinez, 1-4.
Stoddard struck out Robin Yount, but
walked Don Money to set the stage for
Oglivie, who lined a 2-2 pitch into the
right field corner as Milwaukee won for
the first time in four games despite 17
hits by the Orioles.
The Orioles tied the game, 7-7, with
two runs in the seventh on an RBI
groundout by Eddie Muray and a run-
scoring single by pinch-hitter John
Lowenstein off Fingers.
Padres 5, Astros 0
SAN DIEGO (AP) - John Curtis pit-

ched a two-hitter and faced only one
over the minimum number of batters to
lead the San Diego Padres to a 5-0 vic-
tory over the Houston Astros yesterday.
Sixto Lezcano hit a solo homer and
knocked in another run with a single,
