Zimmer has `shocker ideas' in mind for '91

ATLANTA On Harry Caray's pre-game show, manager Don Zimmer saidhe has "some shocker ideas" to change the Cubs next season. He'lltell them to general manager Jim Frey this week.

"Jim may have his own ideas and throw mine out on the window,"Zimmer said. "But if he likes mine, let's pursue it."

Doug Dascenzo is hitting .433 in his 13 starts since he startedgrowing a mustache and baby Zachary was born to wife Pat. "I'm surenot going to change anything now," he said. Third baseman Curtis Wilkerson made the play of the game with anover-the-shoulder catch in foul territory on Ernie Whitt's popup. Top rookie of the year candidates Mike Harkey and Dave Justice faceoff today to conclude the series. Harkey shut Justice down 0-for-3last weekend. Each is trying to ignore "rookie" talk. "I think I'vegot better numbers than any other rookie in the league," Justicesaid. "But if I thought about it, that would take away from my game." Harkey, who lost his last start 8-1 at Cincinnati after fourstraight victories, is on pace to be the first Cubs rookie to win 15games since Dick Drott went 15-11 in 1957.
