| | | CHI WHITE SOX: 2016: 78-84, fourth place.
Manager: Rick Renteria (first season).
He's Here: RHP Lucas Giolito, INF Yoan Moncada, LHP Derek Holland, RHP Reynaldo Lopez, C Geovany Soto, OF Peter Bourjos.
He's Outta Here: Manager Robin Ventura, LHP Chris Sale, OF Adam Eaton, OF Austin Jackson, DH Justin Morneau, C Alex Avila, RHP Matt Albers.
Projected lineup: CF Leury Garcia (.229, 1, 5 in 18 games, 48 ABs; .313, 6, 35, 18 SBs in 84 games at Triple-A Charlotte) or Jacob May (.266, 1, 24, 19 SBs in 83 games at Triple-A Charlotte), SS Tim Anderson (.283, 9, 30), LF Melky Cabrera (.296, 14, 86), 1B Jose Abreu (.293, 25, 100), 3B Todd Frazier (.225, 40, 98), RF Avisail Garcia (.245, 12, 51), DH Matt Davidson (missed much of last season with broken right foot), C Omar Narvaez (.267, 1, 10), 2B Tyler Saladino (.282, 8, 38).
Rotation: LH Jose Quintana (13-12, 3.20 ERA), RH Miguel Gonzalez (5-8, 3.73), LH Derek Holland (7-9, 4.95 ERA in 22 games with Texas), RH James Shields (6-19, 5.85 in 33 starts with Padres and White Sox), LH Carlos Rodon (9-10, 4.04).
Key relievers: RH David Robertson (5-3, 3.47, 37/44 saves), RH Nate Jones (5-3, 2.29, 3 saves), LH Dan Jennings (4-3, 2.08), RH Zach Putnam (1-0, 2.30), RH Michael Ynoa (1-0, 3.00).
Hot Spot: Triple-A Charlotte. With Giolito, Lopez and Moncada likely to begin the season in Triple-A, many White Sox fans might keep a closer watch on the Knights than the big league club. The development of the franchise's suddenly rich minor league system will help determine the trajectory of Chicago's new rebuilding project.
Outlook: Lots of losses and trades. Quintana and Frazier likely will be shipped out at some point this season, and Robertson also could be on the move in the right deal. The White Sox seem fully committed to a major overhaul, and they added several prospects when they traded away Sale and Eaton over the winter. But it could be a rough couple of years while general manager Rick Hahn tries to establish a more reliable pipeline of talent throughout the organization. In the meantime, the White Sox still have Anderson, who was impressive in his first major league stint last year. Abreu is going for his fourth straight season of at least 25 homers and 100 RBIs. | | DETROIT: 2016: 86-75, second place.
Manager: Brad Ausmus (fourth season).
He's Here: C Alex Avila, OF Mikie Mahtook.
He's Outta Here: OF Cameron Maybin, SS Erick Aybar, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, 3B Casey McGehee.
Projected lineup: 2B Ian Kinsler (.288, 28 HRs, 83 RBIs), 3B Nicholas Castellanos (.285, 18, 58 in 110 games), 1B Miguel Cabrera (.316, 38, 108), DH Victor Martinez (.289, 27, 86), RF J.D. Martinez (.307, 22, 68 in 120 games), LF Justin Upton (.246, 31, 87), C James McCann (.221, 12, 48) or Alex Avila (.213, 7, 11 with White Sox), CF Mikie Mahtook (.195, 3, 11 with Tampa Bay) or Tyler Collins (.235, 4, 15), SS Jose Iglesias (.255, 4, 32).
Rotation: RH Justin Verlander (16-9, 3.04 ERA, 254 Ks), RH Michael Fulmer (11-7, 3.06), RH Jordan Zimmermann (9-7, 4.87), LH Daniel Norris (4-2, 3.38), LH Matt Boyd (6-5, 4.53).
Key relievers: RH Francisco Rodriguez (3-4, 3.24, 44/49 saves), RH Bruce Rondon (5-2, 2.97), LH Justin Wilson (4-5, 4.14, 1 save), RH Alex Wilson (4-0, 2.96), RH Anibal Sanchez (7-13, 5.87 in 35 games, 26 starts).
Hot Spot: Back of Starting Rotation. Zimmermann and Norris could be major contributors if healthy, but the No. 5 spot in the rotation is much more uncertain. Sanchez has a big contract and some impressive career accomplishments, but he's 33 and coming off two straight disappointing seasons. Boyd was merely serviceable a season ago.
Outlook: The Tigers have made no secret of the fact that they'll need to cut costs soon, but they've generally put off doing so. Verlander, Cabrera and Kinsler are back, and Detroit is ready to make another bid for a postseason spot. The Tigers fell just short of a wild card last season, and the team's top players aren't getting any younger, so this could be the last shot for Detroit to win big before a significant overhaul. Verlander and Cabrera are still producing like stars, and Fulmer won Rookie of the Year honors last year. If the Tigers are going to take another step forward, they'll probably need Zimmermann and Norris to perform well after both dealt with injury problems a season ago. Speaking of injuries: J.D. Martinez sprained his right foot March 18 and is expected to miss the start of the season. The Tigers finished eight games behind Cleveland in 2016. Closing that gap won't be easy, and a lot might depend on whether Detroit can stay healthy. |
| | Zimmermann, Tigers look to upend red-hot White Sox
DETROIT -- Jordan Zimmermann enjoyed a sparkling first month in his first season with the Detroit Tigers. Zimmermann's second April with the club hasn't gone as well, but getting through it in good health gives him reason for optimism. The veteran right-hander won his first five starts in 2016 after being signed to a five-year, $110 million contract as a free agent. That earned him the American League Pitcher of the Month award but the remainder of his season was marred by groin and neck injuries. He finished the season with a 9-7 record and 4.87 ERA. Zimmermann has been able to take the mound every fifth day this month but his pitches haven't missed a lot of bats. He's given up five runs in each of his last three starts, though good run support has helped him to a 2-1 record (although with a 6.35 ERA) entering his start against the visiting Chicago White Sox (13-9) on Sunday afternoon. "Obviously, it's a little more difficult right now. It's been so long since I've been healthy and felt good that it's hard to remember what it felt like to be healthy and what's normal," Zimmermann said on Saturday. "Just going out there and getting more and more innings under my belt, it's just going to get better and better. Obviously, I had a big layoff, so just trying to get back in a groove and get the feel for things. I'm giving up a lot of runs but I'm also going six innings for the most part." Zimmerman lasted six innings and allowed three home runs in his last start on Tuesday against Seattle, but the Tigers (11-12) scored a season-high in runs and rolled to a 19-9 win. He has a 3-1 record and 4.45 ERA in five career outings against the White Sox. "The main thing is staying healthy and tweaking a few things along the way to get to a place where I feel comfortable every pitch with the same motion, the same everything," he said. "Basically repeating everything. I think that's what I'm a little off with right now. I feel good one pitch and the next pitch doesn't come out the way I'd like it to. So it's all about repetition and getting the same mechanics, and that will come in time." Unlike Zimmermann, White Sox starter Miguel Gonzalez has been lights out this season. He's 3-0 with a 2.00 ERA, including a dominant performance against Kansas City on Monday. He held the Royals to one unearned run on two hits over eight innings. "He's just attacking the zone," Chicago manager Rick Renteria said. "His first pitch strikes have gone up over the last two or three starts. He's been commanding his secondary pitches very well. He's been the guy that's been able to use both sides of the plate very effectively and he's keeping the ball down." Gonzalez is building off a strong finish to last season. He has a 2.54 ERA over his last 17 starts. He hasn't had much success against the Tigers over the years, posting a 2-4 record and 7.43 ERA in 10 career appearances. The White Sox captured the first two contests of the three-game series to extend their winning streak to six games. They blew a two-run lead in the ninth on Saturday, then scored twice in the 10th with the aid of Melky Cabrera's leadoff homer to pull out a 6-4 victory. "Whenever you give up a big inning to the other team, you want to jump back in the dugout and get it going again," closer David Robertson said. "Melky did a great job and the whole offense had some great at-bats. It was a big, strong, win for us." |
