You can worry about Todd Hundley's progress or the overall offensive production or the ever-changing composition of the bullpen and whether in ROSS NEWHAN Offensive improvements were made strictly on margin, trading for catcher Hundley, who may or may not return to pre-surgery form, and signing 36-year-old center fielder Devon White. White, with his fifth big league team, got $12.4 million, but the real money, and the obvious hope, was poured into the rotation. A record $105 million for Kevin Brown and $15.5 million more for Carlos Perez. With Brown at the front and Perez in the middle of a rotation that includes the developing Chan Ho Park, Ismael Valdes and Darren Drelfort, the Dodgers figured to have a chance to win every night.

Has it happened? Not with consistency. Will it? Despite early disappointment, it is too soon to conclude that it won't. "With the exception of Brownie and Rocket Valdes, it feels like the starting pitching has been awful," pitching coach Charlie Hough said. "But then look at the overall numbers. "We're a respectable fifth or sixth in the league in earned-run average and we're only a game out of first place.

When you look at it that way, it's not too bad." What doesn't look too bad one way, though, may not be very pretty another. "You have to remember this is still a young rotation. They're still learning and adjusting, and I think a couple of them have been trying to do too much. I certainly wouldn't panic. They're all in pretty good health." In the National League West, only Arizona can match the Dodgers' rotation depth, and now the Diamondbacks have lost Todd Stottleymre for at least four weeks because of a shoulder injury.

It is a division the Dodgers should win, if not dominate, but that's a familiar story. It is still a team that needs to execute, to that it doesn't have to hit home runs to score, to stabilize the bullpen, to hope Shaw can hold up under a heavy workload he has pitched more than an inning four times already and been brought into four games that were tied and to play with a fire, so that there's no mistaking the desire, attitude and chemistry. For Johnson, however, neither makeup nor offense is the problem. The problem, he said, is that a team built on starting pitching hasn't received the caliber that was expected. With 120 games to play it can still happen.

It is an arms race for the Dodgers. It is that simple. through Thursday 31 by Park, Perez and Valdes in 144 innings. "I'm an aggressive manager," Johnson said. "Rock and fire." With Brian Bohanon 6-1 in Colorado, a suddenly cost-conscious Fox having urged the Dave Mllckl giveaway and the new management team inheriting a barren farm system, there is little insurance beyond Jamie Arnold, who came up big when Perez suffered his mysterious thigh injury in Montreal.

Perez pitched four consecutive complete games for the Dodgers last September, netting the three-year contract. Now, throwing only in the low 80s, he is 1-5 with a 6.63 ERA and Park is 3-5 with a 4.78 ERA in what was going to be a breakthrough season and it still might be. It still might be if his seven-inning stint against Houston on Thursday night is an indication. He threw hard and gave up one run to the National League's best hitting team, leaning on Brown for advice in the dugout but being himself on the mound. The Dodgers suspect that the on-and-off contract talks have been a major distraction to Park, who carries the pride and hopes of his native Korea and who, perhaps, has been trying to compete with Brown rather than feed off his intensity.

"Chan Ho puts an awful lot of pressure on himself," Hough said. Given the state of a bullpen that would have inspired Emma Lazarus, since it has been a refuge for some of baseball's homeless and tempest-tossed, quantity innings are as important to the Dodgers as quality starts. Said Hough: "For us to be successful, we need more innings from the starters. You can get by with one or two guys struggling. More than that puts too much stress on the bullpen." Enhanced significantly by Brown's average of seven innings a start and 2.54 earned-run average, Dodger starters began a weekend series against St.

Louis with respectable numbers a cumulative ERA of 4.08 with an average of 6 innings a start. But with Perez struggling, Park an enigma, Valdes battling a blister and Dreifort encumbered again by the shin splints that the Dodgers fear may be a career-long problem, the consistency has been missing along, at times, with the innings. Brown has delivered, setting a tenacious tone as expected. Valdes might have picked up the cue, but who else? In an information age, the manager noted the other day, his young starters have been too analytical, too cute, shaking off too many signs. One result: Dodger starters had given up 43 homers in 40 games Jeff Shaw can duplicate his 48 saves of 1998.

You can panic in mid-May if you choose, but the better thing, a quarter of the way through a 162-game season, would be to lean back, breathe deeply and focus on one thing and one thing only with the Dodgers: If a starting rotation that could be, and should be, one of baseball's best performs to expectations, all other concerns are minimized. "This team was built around its starting pitching," Manager Davey Johnson noted. "Everything revolves i around that pitching." Hard to argue. Look at it this way: Did the Dodgers pay $80 million for Mo Vaughn or $87.5 million for Bernle Williams or $91 million to bring back Mike Piazza? The Dodgers ranked 12th in the league in runs last year.

Rookie center fielder Carlos Beltran, batting .316 through Friday, and rookie second baseman Carlos Febles, .333, have helped turn the feeble Royals into a modest juggernaut.

A three-game sweep of the previously hot Oakland A's, the Royals' first sweep at home in four years, pushed Kansas City three games over .500 and into early wild-card contention their only realistic goal given that no one is going to beat the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central.

Hunsicker said he could hear it and feel it at Dodger Stadium. "This was the first time I can remember coming into this park and hearing people boo the home team," Hunsicker said on the dugout bench during last week's series. "There's a lot of restlessness.

You can sense it. You spend all that money, it increases the expectation level and the pressure goes up on everyone."

"I'm sick and tired of hearing that," he said. "Statistically, we have the best pitching staff in the National League, and it's an insult to the pitchers we have when people keep saying that we need an ace. Well, we had one Randy Johnson last year and we didn't get past the first round of the playoffs. "How many No.

Is are out there? Probably four or five. Would I like to have one? Sure, but I like the guys we have too, and I like the challenge of competing without the high-profile guy'that everyone says we are lacking. That makes it extra satisfying when we quietly keep winning while everyone else is debating what we need to do." So the San Francisco Giants lead the West for 43 consecutive days, many of them without Barry Bonds, get knocked out of first place by the Arizona Diamondbacks for a day and the tone in the Bay Area media turns sour. "I'm a little ticked off," Manager Dusty Baker said. "You fall out of first by one game and you hear you're the worst team on earth.

It comes with the territory, but you hate to be surrounded by so much negativity. It turns your stomach. "You're picked for last, and suddenly you're expected to be the New York Yankees. No wonder people don't come out to this ballpark. They believe what they read and hear." In a conference call with reporters this week, Philadelphia pitching ace Curt Schilling said that if owners of the surprising Phillies don't provide the help the club needs before the July 31 trade deadline, "They need to sell the team." Added Schilling, "You have to spend money to make money but I haven't seen any signs from ownership that they're committed to helping us win." He said again that he hopes to be traded if they fail to acquire that help: "There is no reason to keep me if you're not going to compete." In response, Philadelphia General Manager Ed Wade said that Schilling's comments were "irresponsible and self-serving." Add Roger Cedeno to the list of young Dodger players who have gone elsewhere to succeed.

Cedeno, sent to the New York Mets in the Todd Hundley deal and playing more because of injuries to outfielders Rickey Henderson and Bobby Bonllla, had a .361 average through his first 19 starts with 21 runs, 15 walks, six doubles and 14 stolen bases. Since November, Mel Rojas has gone from the Mets to the Dodgers (who are still obligated for $4.3 million of his 1999 salary) to the Detroit Tigers to a minor league contract with the Montreal Expos. Rojas figures to be up with the Expos soon, but Manager Felipe Alou has no illusions about the pitcher's ability to regain his lost form. "I'd just rather have a veteran get hit than a young guy who isn't ready," Alou said.

The Mariners stayed around long enough to have become a rejuvenated factor in the West Division, with the return of Rodriguez from knee surgery and improved performances from veteran Jeff Fassero as the ace, so to speak, of the young pitching staff.

Edgar Martinez, who hit five homers in successive games Monday and Tuesday against the Twins, tying a major league record set by Cap Anson in 1884, gave some of the credit to Rodriguez. "With Alex in the lineup there is no rest for the pitchers, no place for them to hide," Martinez said. "They have to deal with him, then Junior Griffey. By the time they get to the rest of us, they're gray." Exasperated by his combustible starting staff last week, Texas Ranger Manager Johnny Oates said, "We can't keep going the way we are. We can't keep digging holes, playing catch-up, just trying to finish games.

The status quo isn't getting it done." So, Oates moved John Burkett (0-3, 13.24 earned-run average) to the bullpen and recalled rookie Ryan Glynn from Oklahoma of the Pacific Coast League, which he led with a 1.85 ERA. Glynn will start against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. The Rangers are second in the league in team batting but 11th in ERA and runs allowed. Manager Tom Kelly of the Minnesota Twins, a good man in a hopeless situation, experienced his loss last Saturday and began the weekend at 1,005 and counting. Kelly, of course, has no chance with the American League's version of the Marlins and said of the mounting losses on his personal ledger: "I heard a guy talking on television from the Preakness.

He said, 'If you're not in the race, you can't In their latest offensive outburst, the Indians scored 13 runs in each game of a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox last week. Said Chicago Manager Jerry Manuel, "I wouldn't say shell-shocked, but I will use the iWord i Manuel may use it again, since the White Sox open a three-game series in Cleveland on Monday. "They could possibly do the same thing because they have such a good club," he said iof the Indians. -ROSS NEWHAN 4.53 4.56 4.57 3.8 3.9 .41 48 17 27 .49 49 17 3 7 4 3 4.01 .29 32 15 18 .47 64 11 26 .57 64 10 56 6 3 4,06 5 20 .284 2 11 .283 3 11 .283 4 18 .282 6 26 .262 6 22 .282 0 6 .281 2 17 .279 4. 4.
