John Stearns is taken 2nd by the Phillies, and the Brewers, picking 3rd, take Robin Yount . Randy Scarbery becomes the first player selected twice in the first round of the regular phase of the draft when the A's take him 23rd. The Astros picked him first in 1970, but he chose college instead. Eddie Bane , 414 in his collegiate career, is taken 11th overall by the Twins, who sign him to a club-record bonus. He debuts a week after Clyde. The Reds have a 3rd straight draft in which they come up short, this time selecting California prep OF Brad Kessler with their 1st choice.
The Yankees trade three players -- 1B Frank Tepedino , OF Wayne Nordhagen and a player to be named -- to the Atlanta Braves for P Pat Dobson . Dobson had struggled in his one year in Atlanta after the Braves had acquired him from the Orioles. The player to be named will turn out to be 2Alan Closter and Dave Cheadle. The Yanks also purchase 30-year-old Sam McDowell (12) from the San Francisco Giants for $100,000+. McDowell, who will later admit to a drinking problem (teammate Dick Radatz later remarked, "We thought he was just stupid. It turned out he was never sober") will pitch two seasons in New York before being released.
