| | | ST LOUIS: 2016: 86-76, second place
Manager: Mike Matheny (sixth season)
Who's new? OF Dexter Fowler, C Eric Fryer, LH Brett Cecil
Who's gone? 1B Brandon Moss, OF Matt Holliday, OF Jeremy Hazelbaker, RHP Jaime Garcia, RHP Seth Maness, RHP Jerome Williams
Projected lineup: CF Dexter Fowler (.276, 13 HR, 48 RBI, 13 SB with Cubs), SS Aledmys Diaz (.300, 17, 65), 1B Matt Carpenter (.271, 21, 68), RF Stephen Piscotty (.273, 22, 85), C Yadier Molina (.307, 8, 58), 3B Jedd Gyorko (.243, 30, 59), 2B Kolten Wong (.240, 5, 23), LF Randal Grichuk (.240, 24, 68)
Rotation: RH Carlos Martinez (16-9, 3.04 ERA), RH Adam Wainwright (13-9, 4.62), RH Mike Leake (9-12, 4.69), RH Michael Wacha (7-7, 5.09), RH Lance Lynn (did not pitch - Tommy John surgery)
Key relievers: RH Seung-hwan Oh (6-3, 1.92 ERA 19/23 SV), LH Kevin Siegrist (6-3, 2.77), RH Trevor Rosenthal (2-4, 4.46, 14/18 SV), LH Brett Cecil (1-7, 3.93 with Blue Jays), RH Jonathan Broxton (4-2, 4.30), RH Matt Bowman (2-5, 3.46), RH Miguel Socolovich (1-0, 2.00)
Hot spots: Rotation. The back end looked like a big leap of faith when spring training began. Wainwright and Wacha are coming off their worst seasons. Another 2013 World Series mainstay, Lynn, didn't pitch last season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Then, on the first day of camp, 22-year-old right-hander Alex Reyes learned he needed Tommy John himself. That leaves a lot of question marks after ace Martinez ' more than any Cardinals staff has faced in years.
Outlook: This 40-man roster hints at a team in transition. Venerable 34-year-old catcher Molina is still St. Louis' biggest star. Reyes' injury hurts the youth movement, but the Cardinals are still stacked with talented 20-something sluggers ' Piscotty, Diaz, Gyorko and Grichuk ' who could emerge as household names. Adding Fowler's speed and patience should complement an already deep lineup. The pitching staff is a different matter. Barring a big resurgence from Wainwright, Lynn and Wacha (or a big trade) it's hard to see the Cardinals contending for more than a wild card spot in the Cubs' shadow. | | PITTSBURGH: 2016: 78-83, third place
Manager: Clint Hurdle (seventh season)
Who's new? RHP Daniel Hudson, IF Phil Gosselin
Who's gone? IF Sean Rodriguez, OF Matt Joyce, SP Jeff Locke, SP Ryan Vogelsong, RP Neftali Feliz, C Eric Fryer
Projected lineup: 2B Josh Harrison (.283, 4 HR, 59 RBI, 19 SB), 1B Josh Bell (.273, 3, 19), RF Andrew McCutchen (.256, 24, 79), CF Starling Marte (.311, 9, 46, 47 SB), LF Gregory Polanco (.258, 22, 86), 3B Jung-ho Kang (.255, 21, 62), C Francisco Cervelli (.264, 1, 33), SS Jordy Mercer (.256, 11, 59)
Rotation: RH Gerrit Cole (7-10, 3.88 ERA), RH Ivan Nova (12-8, 4.17 for Yankees and Pirates), RH Jameson Taillon (5-4, 3.38), RH Chad Kuhl (5-4, 4.20), RH Drew Hutchison (1-0, 5.25 with Blue Jays and Pirates) or Steven Brault (0-3, 4.86) or Trevor Williams (1-1, 7.82) or Tyler Glasnow (0-2, 4.24)
Key relievers: LH Tony Watson (2-5, 3.06, 15/20 SV), RH Daniel Hudson (3-2, 5.22 with Diamondbacks), LH Felipe Rivero (1-6, 4.09 for Nationals and Pirates), RH Juan Nicasio (10-7, 4.50), LH Antonio Bastardo (3-0, 4.52 with Mets and Pirates), RH Jared Hughes (1-1, 3.03), LH Wade LeBlanc (4-0, 3.77 with Mariners and Pirates)
Hot spots: Rotation and closer. Right-hander Glasnow, 23, is a consensus top-25 prospect who made his major league debut last year. The Pirates would love to see him seize the fifth starter's job in camp, but right-hander Hutchison offers a more experienced option if Glasnow isn't ready. Watson became the closer after Mark Melancon was traded to Washington last summer, but his sinker/slider/changeup mix isn't typical ninth-inning stuff. Keep an eye on Rivero, a 25-year-old lefty acquired in the Melancon trade. His fastball actually gained velocity as last season wore on, eventually touching triple digits. Rivero might begin the season as the set-up man but his ascension to the ninth inning seems inevitable.
Outlook: The Pirates made some interesting tweaks after missing the playoffs for the first time in four years. They made no major trades, signed only two major league free agents (pitchers Nova and Hudson) and revamped Hurdle's coaching staff. They also moved their outfielders around: McCutchen goes from center to right, Marte from left to center, and Polanco from right to left. McCutchen is coming off the worst season of his career. So is ace right-hander Cole. The path back to the playoffs begins with the two stars bouncing back. If the team's other homegrown talent ' Taillon, Glasnow, Bell and Polanco ' continue their evolution, Pittsburgh should return to the postseason in 2017. |
| | Pirates, Cardinals to play series finale in Williamsport, Pa.
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Now for something different. There's still a good, old-fashioned story line to the finale of the four-game series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals, teams trying to chase down the first-place Chicago Cubs in the National League Central. Pittsburgh (59-64) lost the first two games despite strong comebacks, then held on for a 6-4 win over the Cardinals (63-60) Saturday at PNC Park. Sunday morning, however, the teams are scheduled to travel about 200 miles to Williamsport, Pa. The teams will play in the MLB Little League Classic at night after spending some time during the day taking part in activities celebrating youth baseball, including a meet-and-greet with players from the ongoing Little League World Series. It might be a thrill not just for the youth players, but for the pros who participated in Little League growing up. "That's when it wasn't a job," St. Louis' Randal Grichuk, who played in the LLWS in 2003 and '04 with the Lamar National League team from Richmond, Texas, told MLB.com. "It was all about winning and having fun and going out to dinner after the game. A lot of the parents are involved. It formed a love of the game for me. It formed a passion. I love playing." Pittsburgh's John Jaso has slightly different memories -- though still fond -- of playing Little League in California. "It wasn't too big on winning or losing, performance out there," Jaso told MLB.com. "It was just a lot of fun -- almost like playing for that snow cone at the end of the game. "I'm excited about going to Williamsport, for sure. Just being around all those kids and allowing those kids to be around us is going to be cool for both sides. It's a cool opportunity for all of us to take advantage of this opportunity to let the kids get close and let them see what big league life is kind of about -- and for us to remember what being a kid and playing this sport is all about, too." The teams went with a slightly modified lineup Saturday -- St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina and Pittsburgh third baseman David Freese and shortstop Jordy Mercer didn't start. That's an indication that the clubs plan on going with a regular lineup in Williamsport rather than what is typically seen on Sunday games. Right-hander Mike Leake (7-11, 3.88 ERA) is scheduled to start the series finale for the Cardinals. Leake is 10-5 with a 3.33 ERA in 31 career starts against the Pirates. That is more wins than he has against any other club. Right-hander Ivan Nova (10-10, 3.77 ERA) starts for the Pirates. Nova has lost his past four decisions since back-to-back wins last month. In has most recent outing, Tuesday at Milwaukee, he took a loss in a 3-1 game when he allowed two runs (one earned) in six innings. The Pirates sent Nova ahead to Williamsport on Saturday as a precaution, while Leake remained with the Cardinals. "The key is to keep the guys fresh," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said of the decision with Nova. "If we played longer (Saturday) night, there could have been some different challenges." Nova, who has spent much of his career in the American League, is 0-1 with 2.25 ERA in his only career start against St. Louis, when he threw a 78-pitch complete game but still took the loss in the Cardinals' 2-1 win April 17 at Busch Stadium. |
