Cardinals Get Meacham On Their Side

EVENlNG TRIBUNE

Meacham's attitude changed after he made a trip to St. Louis last week. There he met Templeton, who has recently expressed a desire to be traded to the Padres in order to be closer to his home in Santa Ana. . '_'Templeton told me the organization didn't have any good shortstops in its mmor league system," said Meacham, who plans to begin contract talks with the Cards this morning. "I asked him, 'what about you?' and he}aid be k(nd.of wanted_to go back home and play. Agent R1ch1e Bree said Templeton wasn't serious about the trade. But ~e also said thev were thinking of moving him to center field." With Temple!on's future as a Cardinal a question mark, Meacham's chances for maJor league employment at St. Louis increase greatly. The Westminster athlete was drafted out of Mater Dei High three years ago by the Chicago White Sox in the 14th round. Meacham chose not to sign a contract and enrolled at San Diego State instead. He had his finest season this year, gaining all-conference honors in the Western Athletic Conference after hitting .375 with school-record totals of 97 hits and 90 runs in 67 games. He also stole 44 bases in 49 attempts.

San Diego State short.stop Bobby Meacham recently indicated there "".ere two major league baseball organizations he hoped would not draft him: the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Diego Padres. Yesterday St. Louis made the Aztec junior its first-round pick and the No. 8 sel cllon overall m the annual free agent draft which also saw Poway High catcher Kevin Burrell go in the first round to the Bo ton Red Sox and Umvers1ty of San Diego catcher Bill Pinkham (Toronto Blue Jay ) and Madi:;on High outfielder Ne! on Simmons (Detroit Tigers) receive thell' ummonses in the second round But de pit his earlier re rvation Meacham now believes that be!~g a _ked to wear.a ~rdinal uniform could be a blessing in disguise. Orl,~mally I d1dn t thmk I wanted to get drafted by St. Louis or San D1e~o, explamed Meacham, who hoped to avoid competing for a job agau~st two of the most talented young shortstops in the game - Cardmal All-Star Garry Templeton and Padre Gold Glover Ozzie Smith. "Now I think it's a great opportunity."

"It's always been my dream to play pro ball, but I'm in no hurry to sign. I'll take a look at the money that is involved, and if I can't get close to what I think is fair, I'll go on to college ball." The Poway standout has already signed a national letter of intent to play base- ball at San Diego State Burrell showed tremen- dous improvement this sea- son after hittmg just .282 with two homers as a jun- ior

\STEVE .... .. 8/SHEFF Who says so? rn,u s HOD Harthotemew, cho- sen on the eighth round- e San Antonio, has a chance to be to the Spurs what Joel Kramer is to the Phoenix Suns - the perfect well- disciplined spot player. ' The best pitcher in baseball at the moment is not Fernando Valenzuela or Steve Carlton or Mike Norris. It is Goose Gossage of the Yankees, who is havmg a nonpareil year in the bullpen. I can't remember a Derby and Preakness winner catching as much flak as Pleasant Colony who didn't exactly embarras~ himself in the Belmont.
