Manager: Brian Snitker (second season)
Who's new? 2B Brandon Phillips, 2B Micah Johnson, C Kurt Suzuki, IF/OF Sean Rodriguez, SP Bartolo Colon, SP R.A. Dickey, SP Jaime Garcia
Who's gone? OF Mallex Smith, C A.J. Pierzynski, RHP Chris Withrow, RHP Ryan Weber
Projected lineup: CF Ender Inciarte (.291, 3 HR, 29 RBI, 16 SB), SS Dansby Swanson (.302, 3, 17), 1B Freddie Freeman (.302, 34, 91), LF Matt Kemp (.280, 12, 39 with Padres and Braves), RF Nick Markakis (.269, 13, 89), 2B Brandon Phillips (.291, 11, 64, 14 SB), 3B Adonis Garcia (.273, 14, 65), C Tyler Flowers (.270, 8, 41)
Rotation: RH Julio Teheran (7-10, 3.21), RH Bartolo Colon (15-8, 3.43 with Mets), LH Jaime Garcia (10-13, 4.67 with Cardinals), RH R.A. Dickey (10-15, 4.46 with Blue Jays), RH Mike Foltynewicz (9-5, 4.31)
Key relievers: RH Jim Johnson (2-6, 3.06 ERA, 20/23 SV), RH Arodys Vizcaino (1-4, 4.42, 10/14 SV), RH Mauricio Cabrera (5-1, 2.82), LH Ian Krol (2-0, 3.18), RH Jose Ramirez (2-2, 3.58), RH Josh Collmenter (1-0, 4.84 with Diamondbacks)
Hot spots: Second base and rotation. Phillips, acquired from the Reds in February, is a placeholder for prospect Ozzie Albies at second base. Albies, 20, won the Double-A Southern League batting title in 2016 and is a potential September call-up at least. The rotation is in a similar state of transition, but it's more complicated. Veterans Teheran, Colon, Dickey and Garcia have jobs for now. Youngsters Foltynewicz, Aaron Blair, Matt Wisler, Lucas Sims and Sean Newcomb are pushing to seize long-term spots.
Outlook: In the inaugural season at SunTrust Park, the Braves will try to crack .500 for the first time since 2013. Their rebuilding work isn't finished, but the front office added about $30 million in salary over the winter. That ought to be enough to make the Braves watchable again. Now, the veterans trying to extend their careers in Atlanta (Colon, Dickey, Phillips, Kemp) are almost as intriguing as the prospects. The sight of 23-year-old shortstop Swanson backing up 40-something pitchers Colon and Dickey could be something special. | | SAN FRANCISCO: 2016: 87-75, second place
Manager: Bruce Bochy (11th season)
Who's new? RHP Mark Melancon, C Nick Hundley, IF Jae-Gyun Hwang
Who's gone? OF Angel Pagan, OF Gregor Blanco, RHP Jake Peavy, RHP Santiago Casilla, RHP Sergio Romo, LHP Javier Lopez
Projected lineup: CF Denard Span (.266, 11 HR, 53 RBI, 12 SB), 1B Brandon Belt (.275, 17 , 82), C Buster Posey (.288, 14, 80), RF Hunter Pence (.289, 13, 57), SS Brandon Crawford (.275, 12, 84), 3B Eduardo Nunez (.288, 16, 67, 40 SBs with Giants and Twins), 2B Joe Panik (.239, 10, 62), LF Jarrett Parker (.236, 5, 14) or Mac Williamson (.223, 6, 15)
Rotation: LH Madison Bumgarner (15-9, 2.74 ERA), RH Johnny Cueto (18-5, 2.79), RH Jeff Samardzija (12-11, 3.81), LH Matt Moore (13-12, 4.08 with Giants and Rays), RH Matt Cain (4-8, 5.64)
Key relievers: RH Mark Melancon (2-2, 1.64, 47/51 SV with Nationals), RH Hunter Strickland (3-3, 3.10), RH Derek Law (4-2, 2.13), LH Steven Okert (0-0, 3.21) or Josh Osich (1-3, 4.71), RH Cory Gearrin (3-2, 4.28), RH George Kontos (3-2, 2.53)
Hot spot: Bullpen and left field. No team blew more saves last year than the Giants. The front office hopes it found the answer by signing three-time All-Star closer Melancon to a (then-record) four-year, $62 million deal, and by cutting ties with Romo and Casilla. They will need to replace Will Smith, a key lefty who tore his UCL in spring training. Veteran outfielder Pagan left after five seasons in San Francisco. Rather than fill his shoes via free agency or trade, the unproven tandem of Williamson and Parker is expected to share time in left.
Outlook: The Giants have an established core of position players, and an enviable 1-2 rotation punch in Bumgarner and Cueto. That's probably why the front office did little in the offseason besides overhaul the back end of the bullpen. Hwang, who hit 26 home runs and drove in 104 last year in Korea, is an intriguing addition to the bench. Mostly the Giants are counting on continuity. Former NL MVP Posey is coming off a below-average season by his standards, and sparkplug Pence missed nearly two months last year with a hamstring injury. Expecting both to bounce back isn't a stretch, and new closer Melancon is as good as they come. At full strength, this Giants team should be able to give the Dodgers a good run. |
| | Braves, Giants aim to snap skids
SAN FRANCISCO -- Two teams shackled with losing streaks but generally feeling pretty good about their recent play knock heads Friday night when the Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants open a three-game series at AT&T Park. Braves left-hander Jaime Garcia, who will be making his major-league-leading seventh road start, and Giants righty Matt Cain, who has been about as good as they come in his four home outings, will duel in the series opener. The Braves are coming off a homestand in which they won five of the first seven games before taking consecutive losses against the Pittsburgh Pirates. "Pretty good homestand," Braves left fielder Matt Kemp said. "You wish we would have ended it a little bit better, but we've been playing some pretty good baseball. Hopefully we can take it on the road and keep it going." Matt Adams, acquired last Saturday in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals, contributed to Atlanta's upswing. He has belted two home runs, a triple and two doubles among seven hits in his first 22 at-bats (.318) for the Braves. Garcia pitched once on the homestand, and while he saw his record fall to 1-3 with a 4.07 ERA, he threw arguably his best game of the season. The veteran allowed just three runs (one earned) in eight innings in a 3-2 loss to the Washington Nationals. It was just Garcia's second home start of the season. The other six have come on the road, and the Braves have won three times in those outings. Acquired over the offseason from the Cardinals, Garcia is no stranger to AT&T Park, where he has gone 2-1 with a 3.25 ERA in five games (including four starts). Overall, he is 3-1 with a 2.88 ERA against the Giants in eight career games (seven starts). When last seen in San Francisco last September as a member of the Cardinals, Garcia struck out five in two innings of relief but also surrendered a two-run homer to Giants catcher Buster Posey. Posey went hitless Thursday in a 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs, the Giants' third straight defeat after they won eight of their previous 10 games. San Francisco went 3-4 on a trip to St. Louis and Chicago after gathering some momentum with a season-best, five-game winning streak during a 5-2 homestand. Cain had a hand in that winning streak, limiting the Los Angeles Dodgers to one run in 6 2/3 innings in an 8-4 win on May 15. The win improved Cain's home record this season to 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA in four starts. He begins play Friday with the fourth-best home ERA in the majors among pitchers with four or more starts. In eight career starts vs. Atlanta, Cain is 4-2 with a 3.42 ERA. When Giants starters look to their right in the series, it is very possible they will see a new third baseman. San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy left Chicago on Thursday wondering aloud about the possibility of returning prospect Christian Arroyo to Triple-A after seeing the rookie's batting average slide to .191. "He knows the situation," Bochy said before the Thursday game, in which Arroyo went 0-for-3. "He's a tough kid. He wants to fight through this, and he's handling it well. "I don't want to make any assumptions on what we're going to do. These are decisions that have to be made, and they aren't easy ones." |
