Projected lineup: CF Rajai Davis (.249, 12 HR, 48 RBI, 43 SB with Indians), C Stephen Vogt (.251, 14, 56), DH Ryon Healy (.305, 13, 37 in 72 games), LF Khris Davis (.247, 42, 102), RF Matt Joyce (.242, 13, 42 with Pirates) or Mark Canha (.122, 3, 6 in 16 games), SS Marcus Semien (.238, 27, 75, 10 SB), 3B Trevor Plouffe (.260, 12, 47 with Twins), 1B Yonder Alonso (.253, 7, 56), 2B Jed Lowrie (.263, 2, 27 in 87 games)
Rotation: RH Kendall Graveman (10-11, 4.11), LH Sean Manaea (7-9, 3.86), RH Jharel Cotton (2-0, 2.15 in five games), RH Andrew Triggs (1-1, 4.31), RH Jesse Hahn (2-4, 6.02 in nine games) and Frankie Montas (0-0, 2.38 in four games at Triple-A)
Key relievers: RH Ryan Madson (6-7, 3.62, 30/37 SV), LH Sean Doolittle (2-3, 3.23), RH Santiago Casilla (2-5, 3.57 with Giants), RH Ryan Dull (5-5, 2.42), RH John Axford (6-4, 3.97), RH Liam Hendriks (0-4, 3.76), LH Daniel Coulombe (3-1, 4.53)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter and Second Base. Triggs, Hahn and Montas are the top candidates to fill out the rotation. Montas, who turns 24 before the season, is the youngest and has the highest ceiling. Hahn is the only one with something resembling a track record of success in the majors. Triggs showed potential in five starts last year. Second base will belong to prospect Franklin Barreto at some point. For now the position belongs to Lowrie, who figures to become trade bait as the A's begin their annual migration toward mathematical elimination.
Outlook: It's been a long two years since the A's played postseason baseball. Rather than rebuilding outright, the A's spent their offseason stocking up on veteran position players. Their strength is a young rotation led by right-hander Sonny Gray ' another trade candidate who's coming off the worst of his four major league seasons (5-11, 5.69 ERA) and will miss time with a lat strain. If Cotton, Manaea and Triggs pick up where they left off, pitching won't be the problem. No team scored fewer runs than the A's in 2016, and it still isn't obvious that their lineup improved. Their home turf will be renamed in honor of Rickey Henderson when the Angels visit Oakland for the opener; maybe Rickey can hit leadoff, too. | | BALTIMORE: 2016: 89-73, second place

Projected lineup: LF Hyun-Soo Kim (.302, 6 HR, 22 RBI), CF Adam Jones (.265, 29, 83), 3B Manny Machado (.294, 37, 96), 1B Chris Davis (.221, 38, 84), DH Mark Trumbo (.256, 47, 108), RF Seth Smith (.249, 16, 63 with Mariners), 2B Jonathan Schoop (.267, 25, 82), C Welington Castillo (.264, 14, 68 with Diamondbacks), SS J.J.

Rotation: RH Kevin Gausman (9-12, 3.61 ERA), RH Dylan Bundy (10-6, 4.02), LH Wade Miley (9-13, 5.37), RH Ubaldo Jimenez (8-12, 5.44), RH Mike Wright (3-4, 5.79) or Chris Lee (5-0, 2.98 at Double-A) or Gabriel Ynoa (1-0, 6.38 with Mets) or Tyler Wilson (4-6, 5.27) or Jayson Aquino (0-0, 0.00 in three games)
Key relievers: LH Zach Britton (2-1, 0.54, 47/47 SV), RH Brad Brach (10-4, 2.05), RH Darren O'Day (3-1, 3.77), RH Mychal Givens (8-2, 3.13), LH Donnie Hart (0-0, 0.49), LH Vidal Nuno (1-1, 3.53 with Mariners)
Hot spots: Fifth starter and bullpen. A shoulder injury in camp left 16-game winner Chris Tillman in doubt for opening day. That opened the floodgates for a pair of competitions that are somewhat intertwined, since the Orioles value long relievers more than perhaps any team. Wright and Wilson, who shuttled between the bullpen and the rotation last season, are the top candidates for the final rotation job. Aquino is a candidate to start or relieve. Logan Verrett, Richard Bleier and Zach Stewart are all potential long men. Keep an eye on Lee, a 24-year-old lefty who missed most of last season with a lat strain.
Outlook: Boston landed the biggest trade chip of the winter and Baltimore couldn't (or didn't try to) acquire the number-one starter it badly needed. When the dust settled, the Orioles look like another 80-something win team that will lean on its organizational depth to overachieve. Machado is already one of the five best players in the game, and at 24 his prime years might still lie ahead. Only three teams in history have had three 40-home run hitters, but Machado, Davis and Trumbo are capable of making it four. Expect some high-scoring games: the Orioles' outfield earned low marks on defense last year, while their starting rotation is iffy at best. Bridging the gap to closer Britton will be key. |
| | Orioles look to improve postseason chances vs. A's
BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles will try to improve their playoff chances with a pivotal three-game series against the Oakland A's beginning Monday at Camden Yards. Baltimore didn't help its cause over the weekend by losing two of three games to the Los Angeles Angels, who are tied for the second AL wild-card position. The Orioles are four games back. Orioles manager Buck Showalter said his team needs to quickly regroup and focus on Oakland. The Orioles (60-65) and A's (54-70) split a four-game series last week at Oakland Coliseum. "You'd have liked to win the (Angels) series," Showalter said. "We'd have liked to win all three. We had a good opportunity, but they pitched a little bit better than we did. "The competition is us. It's us playing better regardless of who you're playing. Our competition is Oakland now, and it's us. There's opportunity there for us. We'd like to win." Orioles left-hander Wade Miley (6-10, 5.21 ERA) gets the start Monday. He has battled his command much of the season, and as a result, he has struggled to go deep into games. Miley has completed at least six innings just twice in his past 14 starts. In his last outing Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners, Miley allowed three runs and five hits with three walks and four strikeouts in just 4 2/3 innings. Miley has been effective in four career starts against the A's, going 3-1 with a 1.33 ERA. He also managed one of his best performances of the season Aug. 10 when he held the A's to one unearned run over seven innings. Chris Smith (0-2, 5.26 ERA) takes the mound for Oakland in the opener. He has struggled over six starts this season, allowing more than three runs in three of his past four outings. Smith took the loss in his only career start against Baltimore when he allowed five runs and seven hits in six innings Aug. 10. Oakland avoided a three-game sweep in Houston with a 3-2 victory Sunday. The A's will face another stern challenge against Baltimore's powerful lineup. However, manager Bob Melvin was encouraged by his rotation over the weekend, and he hopes that can carry over to the series against the Orioles. "Going in, it wasn't great, and I know (the Astros are) not swinging the bats the way they have most of the season," Melvin said. "But they always present challenges, and late in games, they're always good. It's good to get three good starts. It seems there is some momentum that builds amongst the starters." Baltimore got a boost Sunday when Chris Davis was able to get back in the lineup after being sidelined the previous two games because of a virus. Davis, who was fully recovered from the illness, hit his 19th homer Sunday in the Orioles' 5-4 loss to the Angels. Davis should be available for all three games against Oakland. He is looking for the team to find some consistency. "I think there's just been games that we've let slip away, some games we really haven't been able to close out whether it's scoring a run, whether it's tacking on a few runs to give us some breathing room," Davis said. "I think what's going to define us this year is whether or not we can make that push and start winning some of those games." |
