Manager: Joe Maddon (third season)
Who's new? OF Jon Jay, RHP Wade Davis, LHP Brett Anderson, RHP Koji Uehara, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Eddie Butler
Who's gone? OF Dexter Fowler, IF/OF Jorge Soler, LHP Aroldis Chapman, LHP Travis Wood, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jason Hammel
Projected lineup: LF Kyle Schwarber (.000, 0 HR, 0 RBI in two games), 3B Kris Bryant (.292, 39, 102), 1B Anthony Rizzo (.292, 32, 109), 2B Ben Zobrist (.272, 18, 76), SS Addison Russell (.238, 21, 95), RF Jason Heyward (.230, 7, 49, 11 SB), C Willson Contreras (.282, 12, 35), CF Jon Jay (.291, 2, 26 with Padres) or Albert Almora (.277, 3, 14 in 47 games)
Rotation: LH Jon Lester (19-5, 2.44 ERA), RH Jake Arrieta (18-8, 3.10), RH Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13), RH John Lackey (11-8, 3.35), LH Brett Anderson (1-2, 11.91 in four games with Dodgers) or LH Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.52 with Mariners and Cubs) or RH Eddie Butler (2-5, 7.17 with Rockies) or LH Rob Zastryzny (1-0, 1.13 ERA in eight games) or RH Alec Mills (0-0, 13.50 in three games with Royals)
Key relievers: RH Wade Davis (2-1, 1.87, 27/30 SV with Royals), RH Pedro Strop (2-2, 2.85), RH Hector Rondon (2-3, 3.53, 18/23 SV), RH Koji Uehara (2-3, 3.45, 7/9 SV with Red Sox), RH Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1, 3.75), RH Justin Grimm (2-1, 4.10), LH Brian Duensing (1-0, 4.05 with Royals)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter. Of all the candidates vying to replace Hammel, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent, most have plenty of upside but didn't log many innings last year. That includes Anderson, who had one productive season and one unproductive season for the Dodgers. Keep an eye on southpaw Montgomery, who tossed two shutouts as a starter for the Mariners in 2015, came to the Cubs last year in a midseason trade, then was effective as a reliever. Last time he was on the mound, he recorded the save in Game 7 of the World Series.
Outlook: There hasn't been a back-to-back champion this century. For opponents of the Cubs, that might be the most tangible nugget of hope. Most of the key players return from a powerhouse team that played historically good defense, got no fewer than 165 innings from each of its top five starters, and featured a deep lineup led by NL MVP Kris Bryant. In the bullpen, two-time All-Star Davis is capable of replacing closer Chapman if he's healthy. Among the Cubs' regular position players, only Zobrist and new center fielder Jay are over 30 ' everyone else is either entering or in the midst of his prime. This is a strong outlook. | | SAN DIEGO: 2016: 68-94, fifth place
Manager: Andy Green (second season)
Who's new? RHP Jhoulys Chacin, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jered Weaver
Who's gone? RHP Tyson Ross, RHP Brandon Morrow, IF/OF Alexi Amarista, OF Jon Jay, OF Oswaldo Arcia, IF/OF Adam Rosales
Projected lineup: LF Travis Jankowski (.245, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 30 SB), CF Manuel Margot (.243, 0, 3 in 10 games), 1B Wil Myers (.259, 28, 94, 28), 3B Yangervis Solarte (.286, 15, 71), RF Hunter Renfroe (.371, 4, 14 in 11 games), 2B Ryan Schmipf (.217, 20, 51), C Austin Hedges (.125, 0, 1 in eight games), SS Luis Sardinas (.287, 2, 13)
Rotation: RH Jered Weaver (12-12, 5.06 ERA with Angels), RH Jhoulys Chacin (6-8, 4.81 with Angels and Braves), LH Clayton Richard (3-3, 2.52), RH Trevor Cahill (4-4, 2.74 with Cubs), LH Christian Friedrich (5-12, 4.80) or RH Luis Perdomo (9-10, 5.71)
Key relievers: RH Brandon Maurer (0-5, 4.52, 13/19 SV), RH Carter Capps (did not pitch - Tommy John surgery), LH Ryan Buchter (3-0, 2.86), LH Brad Hand (4-4, 2.92), RH Kevin Quackenbush (7-7, 3.92), LH Keith Hessler (1-0, 3.38 with Diamondbacks and Padres), RH Jarred Cosart (0-3, 6.03 with Marlins and Padres)
Hot spots: Bullpen. San Diego's version of a position battle is Green fighting the temptation to bench a young player in the middle of a long slump. Since the Padres are playing for next year anyway, watching bullpen roles shake out might be someone's version of fun. Maurer, the incumbent closer, blew six of 19 save opportunities last year. Hand and Buchter are a pair of workhorse lefties who wouldn't look out of place on a contending team. The wild card is Capps, who is healthy after missing all of 2016 following Tommy John surgery. A year before, he struck out 58 batters in 31 innings with the Marlins.
Outlook: Look up 'rebuilding team' in the dictionary. With only eight active players on the books for more than $1 million ' excluding the retained salaries of Matt Kemp, Melvin Upton Jr. and several other former Padres ' San Diego will field MLB's lowest payroll. Theirs is the youngest roster in baseball too, with perhaps only two players who have turned 30 by Opening Day. Their best prospects are college-age kids in the low minors. So what's to like? Prospect watchers have been awaiting the arrival of Margot and Renfroe for years. The backup catcher, Christian Bethancourt, might pitch. Capps has an unusual delivery. The Padres also ran the bases aggressively under Green, and stolen bases are fun. How's that for a marketing slogan? |
| | Padres open long home stretch by welcoming Cubs
SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres return to Petco Park on Monday to begin perhaps the most favorable segment of their 2017 schedule. Starting with a Memorial Day afternoon game against the Chicago Cubs, the Padres will play 21 of their next 30 games at Petco Park through July 2. An added bonus to the home-heavy schedule will be four days off in June. Only two teams in the major leagues have played more games than San Diego (19-33), and only one has played more road games through roughly the first third of the season. That's the good news. But with the Padres this season, there's always a "bad news" kicker. And the bad news is that the first six games of the upcoming stretch is split between the reigning World Series champion Cubs and National League West-leading Colorado Rockies. In addition, the Padres on Monday will be facing Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks, the reigning NL ERA champion. There are far better known pitchers in the National League. And far better known pitchers who give the Padres trouble. However, Hendricks (4-2, 3.25 ERA) has had exceptional luck against the Padres, particularly at Petco Park, where, after last season's visit, he said: "I like the mound here, and with the fans in the stands, it feels a little like home." Hendricks is 3-0 overall in his career against San Diego with a 1.56 ERA in five starts. The Padres are hitting .189 against Hendricks with less than a runner per inning reaching base over 34 2/3 innings. Hendricks is toughest on the Padres at Petco Park, where he is 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA over 15 innings. Hendricks has a 0.733 WHIP in San Diego. Starting opposite Hendricks for the Padres on Monday afternoon in the opener of a three-game series will be right-hander Jarred Cosart, who has been something of an enigma since joining the Padres last July 29. Cosart (0-1, 4.50 ERA) has good stuff, but every time he gets an opportunity, something happens to slow his progress. This year, for example, he sustained a right hamstring strain during his second start of the season and spent a month on the disabled list. Then last Wednesday against the Mets in New York, Cosart got hit in his right foot by a line drive. After limping around, he departed the game having allowed four runs on four hits and four walks in 2 2/3 innings. Cosart's only career appearance against Chicago was ugly. In a July 4, 2015, start, Cosart gave up seven runs on four hits in 1 2/3 innings. With both Jered Weaver and Trevor Cahill on the disabled list, Cosart is not in any danger of losing his spot in the rotation any time soon. Even so, Padres manager Andy Green is on record as saying this might be a good time for Cosart to turn the corner and take it to the next level. "You get only so many opportunities in this game as a player," Green said recently when the subject was Cosart. "This is a golden opportunity." Twenty-one home games before July 4 could also be seen as an excellent opportunity for the Padres, who are returning from a 3-3 road trip against the Mets and the Nationals. San Diego finished on an up note, defeating the Nationals 5-3 on Sunday after being dominated by Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg in the first two games. "The at-bats were good from the beginning," Green said. "I thought we took a lot of good sliders today which the past two days we did not do. I thought we did a better job overall." However, the presence of the Cubs and Rockies as the next two opponents makes the rocky path a little more unbearable, although Chicago (25-24) arrives after being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chicago third baseman Kris Bryant wasn't too down about the sweep, which followed the Cubs winning seven of nine. "I don't see any reason to worry," Bryant said after Chicago's 9-4 loss at Dodger Stadium on Sunday. "There are good years and bad years, and good weeks and bad weeks. We're off to an average start, but we're not terrible." |
