| | | WASHINGTON: Manager: Dusty Baker (second season)
Who's new? CF Adam Eaton, C Matt Wieters, 1B Adam Lind, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Joe Blanton
Who's gone? CF Ben Revere, C Wilson Ramos, RHP Lucas Giolito, RHP Mat Latos, LHP Sean Burnett, RHP Mark Melancon, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Projected lineup: CF Adam Eaton (.284, 14 HR, 59 RBI, 14 SB with White Sox), SS Trea Turner (.342, 13, 40, 33), 2B Daniel Murphy (.347, 25, 104), RF Bryce Harper (.243, 24, 86, 21 SB), 3B Anthony Rendon (.270, 20, 85), LF Jayson Werth (.244, 21, 69), 1B Ryan Zimmerman (.218, 15, 46) or Adam Lind (.239, 20, 58 with Mariners), C Matt Wieters (.243, 17, 66 with Orioles)
Rotation: RH Max Scherzer (20-7, 2.96 ERA), RH Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83), LH Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57), RH Stephen Strasburg (15-4, 3.60), RH Joe Ross (7-5, 3.43)
Key relievers: RH Shawn Kelley (3-2, 2.64), RH Joe Blanton (7-2, 2.48), RH Blake Treinen (4-1, 2.28), LH Sammy Solis (2-4, 2.41), RH Trevor Gott (0-0, 1.50), LH Oliver Perez (2-3, 4.95), LH Enny Romero (2-0, 5.91 with Rays)
Hot spots: First base and closer. Zimmerman posted a career-low .642 OPS last season and was often spelled by left-handed hitter Clint Robinson. Now 32, Zimmerman must prove he's worthy of regular playing time. Robinson and free-agent pickup Lind are next in line. The ninth inning could be a committee job too, though it's never been the Nationals' preferred method. After Kenley Jansen spurned D.C. for less money in L.A., their choices were limited. Kelley and Blanton have never closed in a combined 20 seasons in the majors, but both were stalwart set-up men last season. Joe Nathan and his 377 career saves are also in camp on a minor-league deal.
Outlook: Trading former top prospect Lucas Giolito to the White Sox for Eaton signaled the Nationals' championship ambitions. Their five-game loss to the Dodgers last October marked the third time in five years they've fallen just short of the NLCS. Washington begins the season with some familiar weapons ' a dangerous heart of the lineup, an experienced bench and exceptional starting pitching. Eaton is a huge upgrade over Revere at the plate, but Wieters will be pressed to replace Ramos' 3.5 wins above replacement (via FanGraphs). Failing to sign a marquee closer could prove fatal if Kelley, Nathan or someone else can't hold down the ninth inning. | | 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? |
| | Nationals' Strasburg set to return versus Padres
SAN DIEGO -- Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg is back home in San Diego. More importantly for Washington, the right-hander has returned to the mound as the Nationals go for their second win in the four-game series. Strasburg, a San Diego native and former San Diego State star, will be activated from the disabled list before the game. It will be his first start since July 23, when an elbow injury put him on the shelf. The Nationals, with a commanding lead in the NL East, will be cautious in bringing Strasburg back into the fold. "We're certainly not just going to press him to be where he is usually,'' manager Dusty Baker said. "He will be on a performance-count and we'll see how he does. Hopefully he doesn't have any long innings.'' The Nationals are looking for any bright spot for a rotation which took a haymaker on Friday night. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer was a late scratch from his start because of neck issues and placed on the disabled list. But much like the season, when a key Washington player goes down another one returns. "That has been the story all year,'' manager Dusty Baker said. "We lose one and gain one and hopefully before it is all over we will gain them all back.'' It's hard to overstate how important Strasburg's performance is to a team that plans to play deep into October. But before that, it has to trek across another six weeks of baseball. With Baker unsure when Scherzer will be okay, having Strasburg fit to take up the slack is significant. "It means a lot,'' Baker said of Strasburg's return. "Hopefully he can take us relatively deep into the game and not use too many pitches. That will be back-to-back games where we will have to have used our bullpen.'' Padres manager Andy Green knows all about consecutive games against the Nationals that are noteworthy. When the Padres were in Washington earlier this year, they got a combined one run when facing Scherzer and Strasburg. "I don't think it is any secret that those two guys dominated us,'' Green said. The Padres didn't have to face Scherzer. But Strasburg, who is 6-1 with a 2.93 ERA lifetime against the Padres, is ready to go. Green said the Padres have to attack him in a different manner. "Our struggles as a team, if you were to identify them, were the high fastballs and good curveballs and that is what he throws,'' Green said of Strasburg. "But the way Manuel Margot is starting to hit curveballs and Jose Pirela is starting to hit them and Yangervis Solarte is hitting them, that is no longer a big glaring issue as it once was. "The challenge for us is still real. But that is what you want to measure up against. It's a challenge but if you want to beat the best teams you have to beat their starting pitching.'' The Padres' starter will be Travis Wood as the left-hander looks for his second straight win. Wood, who is 1-0 with a 5.59 ERA in nine games (two starts) versus the Nationals lifetime, has been a solid pickup from the team's July trade with the Royals. "For the most part, Travis has been pretty decent since he has been here,'' Green said. "He had two starts in Pittsburgh that were good and then in Cincinnati he picked around a bit and walked four guys. Then his last time out he was back around the zone.'' |
