| | | 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 FRANCISCO: 2016: 87-75, second place
Manager: Bruce Bochy (11th season)
Who's new? RHP Mark Melancon, C Nick Hundley, IF Jae-Gyun Hwang
Who's gone? OF Angel Pagan, OF Gregor Blanco, RHP Jake Peavy, RHP Santiago Casilla, RHP Sergio Romo, LHP Javier Lopez
Projected lineup: CF Denard Span (.266, 11 HR, 53 RBI, 12 SB), 1B Brandon Belt (.275, 17 , 82), C Buster Posey (.288, 14, 80), RF Hunter Pence (.289, 13, 57), SS Brandon Crawford (.275, 12, 84), 3B Eduardo Nunez (.288, 16, 67, 40 SBs with Giants and Twins), 2B Joe Panik (.239, 10, 62), LF Jarrett Parker (.236, 5, 14) or Mac Williamson (.223, 6, 15)
Rotation: LH Madison Bumgarner (15-9, 2.74 ERA), RH Johnny Cueto (18-5, 2.79), RH Jeff Samardzija (12-11, 3.81), LH Matt Moore (13-12, 4.08 with Giants and Rays), RH Matt Cain (4-8, 5.64)
Key relievers: RH Mark Melancon (2-2, 1.64, 47/51 SV with Nationals), RH Hunter Strickland (3-3, 3.10), RH Derek Law (4-2, 2.13), LH Steven Okert (0-0, 3.21) or Josh Osich (1-3, 4.71), RH Cory Gearrin (3-2, 4.28), RH George Kontos (3-2, 2.53)
Hot spot: Bullpen and left field. No team blew more saves last year than the Giants. The front office hopes it found the answer by signing three-time All-Star closer Melancon to a (then-record) four-year, $62 million deal, and by cutting ties with Romo and Casilla. They will need to replace Will Smith, a key lefty who tore his UCL in spring training. Veteran outfielder Pagan left after five seasons in San Francisco. Rather than fill his shoes via free agency or trade, the unproven tandem of Williamson and Parker is expected to share time in left.
Outlook: The Giants have an established core of position players, and an enviable 1-2 rotation punch in Bumgarner and Cueto. That's probably why the front office did little in the offseason besides overhaul the back end of the bullpen. Hwang, who hit 26 home runs and drove in 104 last year in Korea, is an intriguing addition to the bench. Mostly the Giants are counting on continuity. Former NL MVP Posey is coming off a below-average season by his standards, and sparkplug Pence missed nearly two months last year with a hamstring injury. Expecting both to bounce back isn't a stretch, and new closer Melancon is as good as they come. At full strength, this Giants team should be able to give the Dodgers a good run. |
| | Nationals begin California trip against Giants
SAN FRANCISCO -- The first-place Washington Nationals begin a nine-game road trip through California when they start a three-game set in San Francisco against the Giants on Monday. Washington (30-19) will have its manager back as Dusty Baker returns after missing the weekend series against the San Diego Padres to attend the high school graduation of his son. The Nationals, under bench coach Chris Speier, went 2-1 in his absence. San Francisco (22-30) won the final two games of its weekend series with Atlanta after dropping four games in a row. When somebody told San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy on Sunday, "You're on a mini-streak," he chuckled. "Yeah, mini," he said. "But we want to keep making progress. We're facing the team leading their division. We've got to be on the top of our game. We'd been doing a good job, until the Cubs." That was the beginning of last week in Chicago. After winning the opener of a series at Wrigley Field, the Giants lost three in a row to the Cubs, then fell in the series opener at home against Atlanta, scoring only six runs in the four games. "It's been a struggle," Bochy said. The Nationals, who are in a 12-game stretch in which they play every California team except the Los Angeles Angels, send Tanner Roark (4-2, 4.32 ERA) to the mound Monday after capping a 4-2 homestand with a 5-3 loss to San Diego on Sunday. "We had some opportunities to score some runs, but we left some men on base early," Speier said. Roark snapped a four-start winless streak (0-2, 6.35 ERA) when he allowed one run in seven innings of a 5-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. "It was good to get runs on the board early," Roark said. "So I relaxed a little bit out there and (made) my pitches." Roark is 5-0 with a 2.51 ERA in six career games (three starts) against San Francisco, including 2-0, 3.52 in three appearances (two starts) at AT&T Park. He was 2-0 against the Giants last season, allowing one run in 14 innings over two starts. San Francisco counters with left-hander Matt Moore (2-5, 5.28), who has recorded three consecutive quality starts. Moore is coming off a 5-4 loss to the Cubs in Chicago on Wednesday in which he yielded four runs (three earned) in six innings. The Giants are 13-11 at home. "We have to do something now that we're here," Bochy said of the six-game homestand. "It's our chance." The Nationals rested regulars Bryce Harper, Daniel Murphy, Matt Wieters and Jayson Werth on Sunday with Murphy missing his third straight start. He was ill Friday and Saturday, but he appeared Sunday as a pinch hitter, as did Wieters and Werth. Harper (.337 batting average, 15 home runs, 41 RBIs) is struggling of late, going 6-for-39 (.154) with two homers and five RBIs over his last 10 games. His average dropped 51 points during that span. Monday's venue may not do Harper any good, as he is hitting .196 with two homers, six RBIs and 14 strikeouts in 51 at-bats at AT&T Park. San Francisco hopes the sight of Roark gets Buster Posey going. Posey, who is 0-for-11 with five walks over his past four games, is 5-for-12 with three doubles and an RBI versus Roark. Posey is batting .333 with seven home runs and 11 RBIs this season. |
