Manager: Pete Mackanin (third season)
Who's new? LF Howie Kendrick, RF Michael Saunders, C Ryan Hanigan, OF Chris Coghlan, RHP Clay Buchholz, RHP Joaquin Benoit
Who's gone? C A.J. Ellis, 1B Ryan Howard, INF Andres Blanco, OF Peter Bourjos, RHP Charlie Morton, RHP David Hernandez
Projected lineup: 2B Cesar Hernandez (.294, 6 HR, 39 RBI, 17 SB), LF Howie Kendrick (.255, 8, 40, 10 with Dodgers), CF Odubel Herrera (.286, 15, 49, 25), 3B Maikel Franco (.255, 25, 88), RF Michael Saunders (.253, 24, 57 with Blue Jays), 1B Tommy Joseph (.257, 21, 47), C Cameron Rupp (.252, 16, 54), SS Freddy Galvis (.241, 3, 20, 17 SB)
Rotation: RH Jeremy Hellickson (11-14, 3.65 ERA), RH Aaron Nola (6-9, 4.78), RH Clay Buchholz (8-10, 4.78 with Red Sox), RH Vince Velasquez (8-6, 4.12), Jerad Eickhoff (11-14, 3.65)
Key relievers: Jeanmar Gomez (3-5, 4.85, 37/43 SV), Joaquin Benoit (2-0, 0.38 with Blue Jays), Hector Neris (4-4, 2.58), Pat Neshek (2-2, 3.06 with Astros), Edubray Ramos (1-3, 3.83)
Hot spots: Shortstop and closer. Philadelphia is waiting for the arrival of J.P. Crawford, the marquee name in the farm system. Crawford struggled in his first exposure to Triple-A last year, batting .250 with seven home runs in 123 games. In the meantime shortstop belongs to Galvis, who had an MLB-worst .274 on-base percentage last season. Crawford will get a chance once he's deemed ready. Gomez had a 19.13 ERA last September, possibly opening the door for Ramos, Neris or newcomer Benoit to seize the closer's job in spring training.
Outlook: On the long road back to respectability, the Phillies appear closer to the end than the beginning. Young starters Nola, Velasquez and Eickhoff showed flashes of brilliance last year. So did center fielder Herrera, who was rewarded with a five-year contract extension. He's the only player on the roster with a guaranteed contract beyond this year. That points to 2017 as a major transition year with prospects and veterans auditioning for jobs in 2018 and beyond, when the Phillies can be active in free agency. | | MIAMI: 2016: 79-82, third place
Manager: Don Mattingly (second season)
Who's new? C A.J. Ellis, RHP Edinson Volquez, RHP Dan Straily, RHP Brad Ziegler, RHP Junichi Tazawa, LHP Jeff Locke
Who's gone? C Jeff Mathis, INF Chris Johnson, RHP Andrew Cashner, LHP Mike Dunn, RHP Fernando Rodney
Projected lineup: SS Dee Gordon (.268, 1 HR, 14 RBI, 30 SB in 79 games), 3B Martin Prado (.305, 8, 75), CF Christian Yelich (.298, 21, 98), RF Giancarlo Stanton (.240, 27, 74 in 119 games), LF Marcell Ozuna (.266, 23, 76), 1B Justin Bour (.264, 15, 51), C J.T. Realmuto (.303, 11, 48, 12 SB), SS Adeiny Hechavarria (.236, 3, 38)
Rotation: LH Wei-Yin Chen (5-5, 4.96), RH Edinson Volquez (10-11, 5.37 with Royals), LH Adam Conley (8-6, 3.85), RH Dan Straily (14-8, 3.76 with Reds), RH Tom Koehler (9-13, 4.33)
Key relievers: RH A.J. Ramos (1-4, 2.81 40/43 SV), RH Brad Ziegler (2-3, 2.28, 18/20 SV with Diamondbacks), RH Junichi Tazawa (3-2, 4.17 with Red Sox), RH Kyle Barraclough (6-3, 2.85), RH David Phelps (7-6, 2.28), RH Dustin McGowan (1-3, 2.82)
Hot spots: Middle infield. Gordon and Hechavarria were a throwback double-play combo in 2016: strong defense up the middle, light with the bats. That would be OK in some lineups, but only three MLB teams scored fewer runs per game last season than Miami. Derek Dietrich was a more than capable fill-in during Gordon's PED suspension, posting a .374 on-base percentage. How long can Mattingly keep Dietrich on the bench if Gordon and Hechavarria struggle to hit?
Outlook: There are many recent examples of teams taking the 'stars and scrubs' approach to roster construction. It never ends well. The Marlins lost their brightest star when ace right-hander Jose Fernandez died far too young; replacing his production and presence was impossible. The remaining stars come with major question marks. Can Stanton stay healthy? If not, can Yelich and Bour be the pillars of the lineup? Who's the star of this pitching staff? No team managed by Mattingly has lost more than 82 games in a season. That will change in 2017. |
| | Volquez tries to snap slide as Marlins host Phillies
MIAMI -- Edinson Volquez has gone 16 consecutive starts without a win. The last time Miami's 2017 Opening Day starter won a game, he wasn't even a Marlin. It came Aug. 25, when he was a member of the Kansas City Royals. The team Volquez has pitched for has gone 3-13 on the day he starts since. Volquez's personal numbers this year are ugly: an 0-7 record and a 4.82 ERA. He is 0-2 with a 4.20 ERA in three starts at home, 0-5 with a 5.12 ERA in six starts on the road. "Hopefully," Volquez told the media last week after his most recent loss, "I can win a game sometime this year." Volquez will get a chance to crack the win column Monday night when a desperate team -- the Philadelphia Phillies -- visits Marlins Park. Miami (18-30), fresh off its first series win since taking two of three games from the host San Diego Padres April 21-23, is one game ahead of last-place Philadelphia (17-31) in the National League East. The Marlins' series win over the visiting Los Angeles Angels over the weekend was welcome relief for everyone in Miami's clubhouse, including manager Don Mattingly. "It seems like a long time," Mattingly said when asked about the drought. "We haven't even had many chances to win. ... It's been a long time. It's good to get one." Meanwhile, the Phillies, who will start Jeremy Hellickson (5-2, 4.28 ERA) on Monday, have lost nine consecutive series. It is the Phillies' worst streak since the 1997 team lost 10 straight series. During the current dry spell, the Phillies are 6-22. "We need to step it up," said Phillies manager Pete Mackanin, who held a team meeting this weekend after a loss to the Cincinnati Reds. "I know we're better than this." The last time the Phillies won a series was against the visiting Marlins on April 27. Fortunately for the Phillies, they may be getting some help soon -- perhaps even Monday. Left fielder Howie Kendrick, who has been out since April 16 with an oblique injury, has played four rehab games and is close to returning to the major leagues. The Phillies' bullpen is another reason for optimism. Philadelphia relievers strung together 22 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings before finally allowing a run in the ninth inning Sunday. And Hellickson -- unlike Volquez -- is having another strong season overall. The 30-year-old right-hander is 17-12 since the start of last season. However, while Hellickson was 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA last month, he has struggled in May. In five May starts, he is 1-2 with a 7.30 ERA. Home (4.23 ERA) or road (4.33) hasn't been much of a factor for Hellickson, who mixes four pitches and is especially tough with his changeup. Hellickson is 4-2 with a 2.61 ERA in 11 career starts against the Marlins, while Volquez has a 4-2 record with a 2.30 ERA in seven starts against the Phillies. Hellickson pitched six innings of one-run ball for a win 3-2 over Miami on April 27, a game in which Volquez yielded three runs (two earned) in 5 2/3 innings. Since the start of last season, Hellickson has thrown his changeup on 26 percent of his pitches, the second-highest frequency among National League starters. Now it's time to see if he can change up his luck in May. |
