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. | | LA ANGELS: 2016: 74-88, fourth place

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 |
| | Angels aim for three-game sweep of A's
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels try for a three-game sweep of Oakland Athletics on Thursday with both starters working on extended rest. In a faceoff between right-handers, the Angels' Ricky Nolasco (1-2, 4.76 ERA) will oppose the Athletics' Kendall Graveman (2-0, 2.00 ERA). The Angels, concerned about Nolasco's mechanics after the veteran allowed seven home runs in his first 22 2/3 innings, passed him in the rotation so he could work out the kinks in his delivery. Nolasco has one of baseball's best walks-per-inning rates -- he hasn't walked a batter in his last 12 innings -- but the journeyman has always been troubled by the home run. The seven he has allowed are tied for the most in the American League. He came to the Angels on Aug. 1, 2016, in a trade that sent All-Star left-hander Hector Santiago to the Twins. The Twins were looking to move Nolasco and willing to pay the remainder of his 2016 salary and almost half of his earnings in 2017. Nolasco, the Opening Day starter for the Angels mostly because of injury concerns with the others in the rotation, never produced with the Twins, who gave him the biggest free agent contract in team history at $49 million over four years. He had a 5.38 ERA in 2014, missed much of 2015 with an ankle injury, and had a 5.13 ERA when they sent him to Anaheim last season. "I think I pitched better than the numbers say, but it is what it is," Nolasco said at the time of the trade, adding that the cold weather was a turnoff for a kid raised in Southern California. "I understand what happened. I'm not focusing on that anymore." Nolasco last pitched April 18, when he earned his first win of the season with six innings of two-run ball in a 5-2 decision at Houston. He told the Orange County Register that the lengthy layoff was designed to all him to "clean up a couple things" with his delivery. Graveman will be coming off the 10-day disabled list to start Thursday. He strained his right arm after his last start on April 14, and the A's chose to be careful with the 26-year-old, a key piece of the November 2014 trade that sent third baseman Josh Donaldson to the Toronto Blue Jays. "I had a good bullpen (session) Monday," Graveman told the San Jose Mercury News. "Everything checked out. I'm right where I want to be. There may be a little bit of a restriction (pitch limit) the first time back, but I feel great, think I'm on track." A's manager Bob Melvin said, "It's nice to get some guys off the DL as opposed to adding guys on the list." Oakland has had nine players on the disabled list this season, and their Wednesday starting pitcher, left-hander Sean Manaea, lasted just two innings, exiting with stiffness atop his pitching shoulder. Graveman was the opposing starter against Nolasco on Opening Day, when the A's prevailed 4-2. Graveman tossed six innings of two-run ball, while Nolasco yielded three runs in 5 2/3 innings. Oakland next heads to Houston for a three-game series, while Los Angeles hits the road for a three-game set at Texas. |
