KEY GAME INFORMATION
TORONTO: 2016: 89-73, second place
Manager: John Gibbons (10th season)
Who's new? 1B/DH Kendrys Morales, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, IF/OF Steve Pearce, IF Lourdes Gurriel, LHP J.P. Howell, RHP Joe Smith
Who's gone? 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion, OF Michael Saunders, C Josh Thole, C Dioner Navarro, OF Junior Lake, RHP R.A. Dickey, LHP Brett Cecil, RHP Joaquin Benoit
Projected lineup: 2B Devon Travis (.300, 11 HR, 50 RBI), 3B Josh Donaldson (.284, 37, 99), RF Jose Bautista (.234, 22, 69), DH Kendrys Morales (.263, 30, 93 with Royals), SS Troy Tulowitzki (.254, 24, 79), C Russell Martin (.231, 20, 74), 1B Justin Smoak (.217, 14, 34), CF Kevin Pillar (.266, 7, 53, 14 SB), LF Ezequiel Carrera (.248, 6, 23)
Rotation: RH Marco Estrada (9-9, 3.48 ERA), LH J.A. Happ (20-4, 3.18), RH Marcus Stroman (9-10, 4.37), RH Aaron Sanchez (15-2, 3.00), LH Francisco Liriano (8-13, 4.69 with Pirates and Blue Jays)
Key relievers: RH Roberto Osuna (4-3, 2.68, 36/42 SV), RH Jason Grilli (6-4, 3.64), RH Joe Biagini (4-3, 3.06), LH J.P. Howell (1-1, 4.09 with Dodgers), RH Joe Smith (1-4, 3.82 with Angels), LH Aaron Loup (0-0, 5.02)
Hot spots: bullpen. The Blue Jays signed only a couple high-profile free agents (retaining Bautista, adding Morales) and brought in many lower-profile veterans mostly to compete for bullpen jobs. Howell and Smith, signed to low-risk deals, are all but guaranteed jobs. But what of Dominic Leone, Mat Latos, Mike Bolsinger, Lucas Harrell and Leonel Campos? Toronto seems to be crowd-sourcing its middle innings with low-risk, right-handed options. Up to a half-dozen pitchers could be competing for one or two jobs.
Outlook: The Blue Jays' roster is enviably balanced, albeit among the older ones in the league. Toronto led the AL in ERA last year. Their entire starting rotation returns, and their veteran bullpen is set up well to support second-year closer Osuna. Ironically, the youngest player in the Jays' starting lineup, 26-year-old Travis, has the biggest health concern of the bunch. He didn't appear in a spring training game until recently because of offseason knee surgery. Encarnacion, who was good for .270/30/100 every year, will be missed. The question now is whether Morales (33), Bautista (36), Tulowitzki (32) and Martin (34) are still close enough to their primes to power another playoff run.
LA ANGELS: 2016: 74-88, fourth place
Manager: Mike Scioscia (18th season)
Who's new? C Martin Maldonado, 2B Danny Espinosa, INF Luis Valbuena, OF Ben Revere, OF Cameron Maybin, RHP Jesse Chavez, RHP Austin Adams, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Who's gone? C Jett Bandy, C Geovany Soto, C Juan Graterol, OF Gregorio Petit, OF Rafael Ortega, RHP Jered Weaver, LHP C.J. Wilson, RHP Jhoulys Chacin, RHP Tim Lincecum, RHP Cory Rasmus, LHP Brett Oberholtzer
Projected lineup: 3B Yunel Escobar (.304, 5 HR, 39 RBI), RF Kole Calhoun (.271, 18, 75), CF Mike Trout (.315, 29, 100, 30 SB), DH Albert Pujols (.268, 31, 119), 1B C.J. Cron (.278, 16, 69) or Luis Valbuena (.260, 13, 40 in 90 games with Astros), LF Cameron Maybin (.315, 4, 43, 15 SB with Tigers), 2B Danny Espinosa (.209, 24, 72 with Nationals), SS Andrelton Simmons (.281, 4, 44, 10 in 124 games), C Martin Maldonado (.202, 8, 21 with Brewers) or Carlos Perez (.209, 5, 31)
Rotation: RH Garrett Richards (1-3, 2.34 in six starts), RH Matt Shoemaker (9-13, 3.88), LH Tyler Skaggs (3-4, 4.17), RH Ricky Nolasco (8-14, 4.42 with Twins and Angels), RH Jesse Chavez (2-2, 4.43 with Blue Jays and Dodgers) or RH Bud Norris (6-10, 5.10 for Braves and Dodgers)
Key relievers: RH Huston Street (3-2, 6.45, 9/12 SV), RH Cam Bedrosian (2-0, 1.12), RH Andrew Bailey (3-1, 5.36 6/7 SV for Phillies and Angels), RH J.C. Ramirez (2-1, 2.91), LH Jose Alvarez (1-3, 3.45), RH Austin Adams (0-0, 9.82 with Indians), RH Yusmeiro Petit (3-5, 4.30 with Nationals), RH Mike Morin (2-2, 4.37)
Hot spots: First base and fifth starter. Pujols started 23 games at first base last year, and will likely play fewer this year after offseason plantar fascia surgery. For now, Pujols is the primary DH, Cron is the first baseman, and Valbuena will begin the season on the DL with a strained hamstring. One problem: neither Cron (.698 OPS) nor Valbuena (.666) could hit lefties last year. The top candidates for fifth starter are similarly flawed. Chavez and Norris finished last season as relievers. Alex Meyer has six major league starts to his name. The Angels might need all of them at points in 2017.
Outlook: It's hard to be too optimistic about a team that's made one playoff appearance in seven years. Yet it's hard to be too pessimistic considering the hard-luck injuries that decimated the Angels in 2016, particularly on the pitching side. Still, 2017 figures to be a transition year. The back of the rotation is a patch job until Tommy John patients Andrew Heaney and Nick Tropeano return from rehab. The Angels will gain some financial freedom after the season, when Josh Hamilton finally comes off the books. Any positive momentum in the meantime would make Anaheim a more attractive destination for free agents. Getting back above .500 would be a realistic step in that direction; anything beyond that is a bonus
PREVIEW
Jays' Stroman hopes to right ship versus Angels
 

ANAHEIM -- Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman was a 23-year-old rookie in his third professional season when he first faced the Los Angeles Angels in 2014. They did not welcome him warmly to the major leagues.

In two appearances, he was tagged for 14 hits and 10 runs in 5 1/3 innings, with the Angels winning both games. That was then. Stroman starts Sunday afternoon's game at Angel Stadium seven months after a stellar outing in 2016, allowing two runs and seven hits in six innings in a game where he received no run support.

Stroman, the winning pitcher in the World Baseball Classic championship game against Puerto Rico, pitched six one-hit innings in the 8-0 win for the U.S. He is arguably the ace, or at least one of three stout starters, for the Blue Jays, alongside Marco Estrada and J.A. Happ.

Sunday, he'll be trying to give the Blue Jays a much-needed win. The reigning American League East champions opened 1-9 and lost their first five series of the season, the first Blue Jays team to do so and the first in the AL since the 2010 Orioles dropped their first seven series.

Happ is on the 10-day disabled list and Alex Sanchez is sidelined with blister issues. Casey Lawrence made his first major league start Saturday and did what the Blue Jays needed most, give the bullpen a breather after a 13-inning game Friday.

He allowed eight hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings, and his only big mistake was the pitch Andrelton Simmons hit for a grand slam in the third. Leonal Campos made his season debut in relief and allowed a hit in 1 2/3 innings.

The Blue Jays staff is in a much better state than the Angels because of injuries old and new.

Journeyman Ricky Nolasco, the Angels' opening day starter, has the best ERA of any starter at 4.76. They recalled Alex Meyer for his first major league start Friday in the Jays' 8-7 13-inning win. According to the club web site, newly recalled right-hander Daniel Wright will start Sunday after scheduled starter Jesse Chavez had to pitch in relief Friday.

Sunday, the Angels moved Garrett Richards, one of their most promising pitchers, from the 10-day to the 60-day disabled list. He tore the UCL in his right elbow last season, had stem cell treatment rather than surgery as a corrective measure, and then reinjured his elbow in his first start of 2017, lasting 4 2/3 innings.

The Angels have eight pitchers on the disabled list and Richards joins veteran closer Huston Street (shoulder) on the 60-day. Closer Cam Bedrosian, who had not allowed a run in six appearances, was put on the 10-day DL on Saturday with a groin strain.

The Angels also recalled right-hander Kirby Yates from Salt Lake City while replacing Bedrosian and Meyer, who was shuffled back to Salt Lake City.

Wright won his last start in the minors, while Yates, who made 41 appearances with the Yankees in 2016, had a 2.57 ERA at Salt Lake in six relief stints.
