| |  | LA DODGERS: 2016: 91-71, first place, lost to Chicago Cubs in NLCS
Manager: Dave Roberts (second season)
Who's new? IF Logan Forsythe, OF Franklin Gutierrez, OF Brett Eibner, RHP Sergio Romo
Who's gone? OF Josh Reddick, C Carlos Ruiz, RHP Joe Blanton, RHP Jose De Leon, LHP J.P. Howell, RHP Louis Coleman, RHP Jesse Chavez
Projected lineup: 2B Logan Forsythe (.264, 20 HR, 52 RBI with Rays) or Chase Utley (.252, 14, 52), SS Corey Seager (.308, 26 72), 3B Justin Turner (.275, 27, 90), 1B Adrian Gonzalez (.285, 18, 90), RF Yasiel Puig (.263, 11, 45) or Andre Ethier (.208, 1, 2 in 16 games), C Yasmani Grandal (.228, 27, 72), CF Joc Pederson (.246, 25, 68), LF Andrew Toles (.314, 3, 16) or Trayce Thompson (.225, 13, 32)
Rotation: LH Clayton Kershaw (12-4, 1.69 ERA), RH Kenta Maeda (16-11, 3.48), LH Rich Hill (12-5, 2.12 with A's and Dodgers), RH Brandon McCarthy (2-3, 4.95), LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (0-1, 11.57 in one game) or LH Alex Wood (1-4, 3.73)
Key relievers: RH Kenley Jansen (3-2, 1.83, 47/53 SV), RH Pedro Baez (3-2, 3.04), LH Grant Dayton (0-1, 2.05), LH Luis Avilan (3-0, 3.20), RH Josh Fields (1-0, 4.63 with Astros and Dodgers), RH Sergio Romo (1-0, 2.64 with Giants), RH Chris Hatcher (5-4, 5.53)
Hot spots: Outfield and rotation. The Dodgers set a record for Disabled List trips in 2016. Ethier, who missed most of last season with a broken tibia, compared his recent back injury to 'Groundhog Day.' Even without Ethier there isn't room for Puig, Pederson, Toles, Thompson, Scott Van Slyke, Franklin Gutierrez and Brett Eibner. The pitching staff was decimated last year too, but a deep farm system produced a wave of capable reinforcements. If Scott Kazmir, McCarthy or Ryu can't pitch, Julio Urias, Brock Stewart and Ross Stripling can step in.
Outlook: After two straight winters laying low on the free agent market, Andrew Friedman bet big on his 2016 roster. Turner, Jansen, Hill and Utley all re-signed, giving the Dodgers a chance to prove last season's NLCS run wasn't a fluke. A full season of Kershaw and Hill ' to name just two ' would improve the team's chances of claiming a fifth straight division title. If the Dodgers want to take the next step, they'll have to get past the defending champion Chicago Cubs, a potential perennial powerhouse whose roster remains similarly intact. | | ARIZONA: 2016: 69-93, fourth place
Manager: Torey Lovullo (first season)
Who's new? C Chris Iannetta, C Jeff Mathis, IF/OF Daniel Descalso, RHP Taijuan Walker, RHP Fernando Rodney, RHP Tom Wilhelmsen, RHP Kevin Jepsen, RHP Tyler Jones
Who's gone? Manager Chip Hale, SS Jean Segura, IF/OF Phil Gosselin, OF Peter O'Brien, C Welington Castillo, C Tuffy Gosewich, OF Rickie Weeks Jr., RHP Daniel Hudson, LHP Edwin Escobar
Projected lineup: CF A.J. Pollock (.244, 2 HR, 4 RBI in 12 games), 3B Jake Lamb (.249, 9, 29), 1B Paul Goldschmidt (.297, 24, 95, 32 SB), RF David Peralta (.251, .4, 15), LF Yasmany Tomas (.272, 31, 83), 2B Brandon Drury (.282, 16, 53), SS Chris Owings (.277, 5, 49, 21 SB), C Chris Iannetta (.210, 7, 24 with Mariners) or Jeff Mathis (.238, 2, 15 with Marlins)
Rotation: RH Zack Greinke (13-7, 4.37 ERA), RH Taijuan Walker (8-11, 4.22), LH Robbie Ray (8-15, 4.90), LH Patrick Corbin (5-13, 5.15), RH Shelby Miller (3-12, 6.15)
Key relievers: RH Fernando Rodney (2-4, 3.44, 25/28 SV with Padres and Marlins), RH Jake Barrett (1-2, 3.49), RH Randall Delgado (5-2, 4.44), LH Andrew Chafin (0-1, 6.75), RH Kevin Jepsen (2-6, 5.98, 7/11 SV with Twins and Rays), RH Tom Wilhelmsen (2-4, 6.80 with Rangers and Mariners)
Hot spots: Rotation and catcher. The Diamondbacks' rotation was atrocious in 2016, ranking 29th in MLB in ERA. But hey, maybe it wasn't all their fault. In his first year as general manager, Mike Hazen installed a 'pitching strategist' (Dan Haren) and three new catchers (former Angels Iannetta, Mathis and Hank Conger). Meanwhile, nine of the 10 pitchers who started a game for the Diamondbacks last year remain in the organization. It's a bold experiment in how to fix a pitching staff. Iannetta and Mathis can frame all the borderline pitches they want. At some point, the onus will fall on Greinke, Ray, Miller, Corbin and newcomer Walker to perform to their potential.
Outlook: It wasn't long ago that Arizona spent $206 million to coax Greinke to defect from the Dodgers. Now the Diamondbacks feel like a team on the brink of a complete rebuild. Even without Jean Segura, who led the National League in hits, the lineup will score enough to keep Arizona competitive. But what to make of the pitching staff? The rotation beyond Greinke could be anywhere from awesome to abysmal. The ninth inning belongs to 39-year-old Rodney and, if he fails, a who's-who list of failed former closers: Wilhelmsen, Jepsen or J.J. Hoover. The farm system is in poor shape. If things get worse before they get better, Greinke could be the first player traded. |
| | Diamondbacks look to complete sweep of Dodgers
PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks continued their impressive start to the season by setting two franchise records on Saturday. On deck is a chance for their first sweep of a three-game home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in nine years. Arizona has outscored the Dodgers 24-10 in the first two games of the series at Chase Field after an 11-5 victory Saturday that featured four home runs and a franchise-record four doubles by David Peralta. Dodgers right-hander Brandon McCarthy will face Shelby Miller in the series finale Sunday. The Diamondbacks are 8-1 at home, the best start in home history, in manager Torey Lovullo's first season. They lost 16 of their first 21 home games last season and were 33-48 at Chase. "I don't know what really happened here last year, but I know these guys are going out and earning each victory. They don't look beyond today," Lovullo said. "The way I look at it is, this is the defending National League West champs. The L.A. Dodgers are a special franchise and a special team, and we want to take what we can each and every day." The D-backs have not swept a three-game home series from the Dodgers since April 7-9, 2008. They have swept three-game sets from the Dodgers twice in the interim at Dodgers Stadium, the last in May 2013. Arizona, which has won five of seven, has won four of six against the Dodgers this season after winning the last two games of a four-game wraparound series that ended Monday. "Those guys over there are swinging the bats well. They are playing well," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "Yeah, we are frustrated right now, but we've got a long way to go." The Diamondbacks lead the majors with 103 runs scored and have nine comeback victories, the latest when they spotted the Dodgers a 1-0 lead on Enrique Hernandez's homer in the first inning Saturday. "Good baseball moments are contagious," Lovullo said. "The positive thoughts are the catalyst for good results. I know these guys are really encouraged by what they are doing as a group, and they feed off of one another. "I think this group is a very special group. I think this group is uniting right before our very eyes. They don't feel like they are out of any moment." McCarthy, who spent 1 1/2 seasons with Arizona, is 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA in three starts this season, his first full season since recovering from Tommy John surgery early in 2015. He is limiting opponents to a .228 batting average and has 16 strikeouts against seven walks in 17 innings. McCarthy will face the Diamondbacks for the second time in a week. He gave up two runs on five hits in five innings of a no-decision at Dodger Stadium on Monday, striking out three and walking five in a game the Diamondbacks won, 4-2. "I've said it from six weeks on, the ball has been coming out of his hand great," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "He's competing. He's laser focused on being consistent with his work. He's been great." McCarthy is 0-0 with a 1.64 ERA in two career games against Arizona, both as a starter. Miller is 2-1 with a 3.50 ERA and is coming off his best start of the season, an 11-2 victory at San Diego on Tuesday in which he gave up four hits and one run in 7 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked two while becoming the first Diamondbacks starter to work into the eighth inning. Miller is 1-3 with a 6.95 ERA against the Dodgers in seven career appearances, including five starts, and was 0-2 with a 7.45 ERA in two starts against them last season. |
