Manager: Terry Collins (seventh season)
Who's new? No one of note
Who's gone? 1B James Loney, IF/OF Kelly Johnson, OF Alejandro De Aza, RHP Bartolo Colon, LHP Jonathon Niese
Projected lineup: CF Curtis Granderson (.237, 30 HR, 59 RBI), 3B David Wright (.226, 7, 14 in 37 games), LF Yoenis Cespedes (.280, 31, 86), RF Jay Bruce (.250, 33, 99 with Reds and Mets), 2B Neil Walker (.282, 23, 55), SS Asdrubal Cabrera (.280, 23, 62), 1B Lucas Duda (.229, 7, 23 in 47 games), C Travis d'Arnaud (.247, 4, 15)
Rotation: RH Noah Syndergaard (14-9, 2.60 ERA), RH Jacob deGrom (7-8, 3.04), RH Matt Harvey (4-10, 4.86), LH Steven Matz (9-8, 3.40), RH Zack Wheeler or RH Robert Gsellman (4-2, 2.42) or RH Seth Lugo (5-2, 2.67)
Key relievers: RH Jeurys Familia (3-4, 2.55, 51/56 SV), RH Addison Reed (4-2, 1.97), RH Hansel Robles (6-4, 3.48), LH Jerry Blevins (4-2, 2.79), RH Fernando Salas (3-7, 3.91)
Hot spots: First base and third base. Duda missed 115 games last season because of a stress fracture in his lower back. When healthy, the veteran first baseman slugged a career-low .714. Former first-round draft pick Dominic Smith, 21, could be in position to battle for the starting spot soon. He'll likely begin the season at Triple-A. Franchise third baseman Wright doesn't have a hot prospect pushing him out the door, but how much game does he have left? The perennial All-Star only began throwing a baseball in February after an eight-month recovery from neck surgery. Wright had a degenerative back and has only played 75 games the last two years. Getting a full season from him at age 34 would be a shock.
Outlook: The Mets' championship window opened with a surprise World Series run in 2015, and their front office seems convinced it's still open. The club invested four years and $110 million to keep Yoenis Cespedes in the outfield. The Mets also exercised club options on Jay Bruce and Jose Reyes, and brought Neil Walker back on a qualifying offer. The result? Almost everyone returns from a club that lost a wild-card game to the Giants last October. The franchise is oozing young pitching ' Syndergaard might be the best right-hander on the planet ' but another World Series appearance might be too much to expect from a team that ranked 25th in runs per game last season. | | 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. |
| | Back in saddle, Mets' Matz faces Dodgers
LOS ANGELES -- The New York Mets can wonder what their season might have looked like if Steve Matz had been available from the start, before injuries overwhelmed the rotation. The left-hander, who will start Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, is one of five Mets starters who have spent time on the disabled list this season, joining ace Noah Syndergaard, Seth Lugo, Zack Wheeler and Matt Harvey. Los Angeles, riding a six-game winning streak, will be looking to complete a four-game series sweep. Matz returned two weeks ago and put together back-to-back seven-inning outings, something only Syndergaard had managed for the Mets this season. Matz is the first Met to do so in his first two outings of a season since Harvey went seven innings in four straight games in 2013. Matz was sidelined in spring training with elbow tenderness that lingered into the season. He finally returned for a June 10 start at Atlanta, and he went seven innings and allowed five hits, one run and one walk in an 8-1 win. He came back with seven more innings in a Friday loss to Washington in which he allowed eight hits and four runs without a walk. He is 2-0 lifetime against the Dodgers in regular-season play, with a 1.50 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 12 innings. Matz started and took the loss in Game 4 of the 2015 National League Division Series, a 3-1 decision. He was 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA in 2015, when the Mets advanced to the World Series, and 9-8 with a 3.40 ERA in 2016. "This is what we thought we were going to get from guys we thought we were going to have," manager Terry Collins said of Matz. "Unfortunately, we haven't, and we have had to play without them. We've just got to make sure we work very hard to make sure Steven goes out there every five or six days." Matz said after his 2017 debut, "It just feels really good to get back out there and compete. I didn't really have my greatest, sharpest stuff today, but I was able to execute my pitches when I did." His opposition in the series finale against the Dodgers knows about injuries. Hyun-Jin Ryu was 28-15 in his first two seasons with the Dodgers (2013-14) before a shoulder injury shut him down for all of 2015. He returned in 2016 long enough to make one appearance before an elbow injury ended that season. He has been inconsistent in 2017 (3-6, 4.35 ERA), losing his first four starts and rarely going deep. Ryu had a breakthrough in a 7-2 win over Miami in mid-May, going 5 1/3 innings before hitting his pitch count. Soreness led him to miss his next turn, but he threw four shutout innings in a relief appearance against St. Louis, picking up his first career save. Ryu balked at being used in relief, but the Dodgers have indicated starting pitching is a fluid exercise in the era of five-inning outings and the beneficial 10-day DL. Manager Dave Roberts told Ryu the Dodgers consider him a starter but that he has to understand the nature of the game. "I told him it wasn't permanent," Roberts said. "We have an excess of quality starting pitchers, so getting innings for all of our guys is tough. I know he was excited when he got back in the rotation. It's what he's known throughout his career." Ryu is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in three career appearances against the Mets, with a 1.80 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 20 innings. All of those outings, however, came before his injuries. |
