Manager: Bud Black (first season)
Who's new? 1B Ian Desmond, IF Alexi Amarista, RHP Greg Holland, LHP Mike Dunn
Who's gone? Manager Walt Weiss, LHP Jorge De La Rosa, RHP Eddie Butler, LHP Boone Logan, C Nick Hundley, IF Daniel Descalso, OF Ryan Raburn
Projected lineup: CF Charlie Blackmon (.324, 29 HR, 82 RBI, 17 SB), 2B D.J. LeMahieu (.348, 11, 66, 11), 3B Nolan Arenado (.294, 41, 133), RF Carlos Gonzalez (.298, 25, 100), 1B Mark Reynolds (.282, 14, 53), LF David Dahl (.315, 7, 24) or Gerardo Parra (.253, 7, 39), SS Trevor Story (.272, 27, 72), C Tony Wolters (.259, 3, 30)
Rotation: RH Jon Gray (10-10, 4.61 ERA), RH Tyler Chatwood (12-9, 3.87), LH Tyler Anderson (5-6, 3.54), LH Kyle Freeland (6-3, 3.91 at Triple-A), RH German Marquez (1-1, 5.23)
Key relievers: Greg Holland (did not pitch in 2016), Adam Ottavino (1-3, 2.67, 7/12 SV), Mike Dunn (6-1, 3.40, 4/8 SV with Marlins), Jake McGee (2-3, 4.73, 15/19 SV), Jordan Lyles (4-5, 5.83), Chad Qualls (2-0, 5.23), Chris Rusin (3-5, 3.74), Carlos Estevez (3-7, 5.24, 11/18 SV)
Hot spots: Catcher and closer. Wolters was 23 years old and hadn't played a game above Double-A last year when the Rockies claimed him off waivers from Cleveland. Now he's the most experienced catcher on the Rockies' 40-man roster, having played 71 major league games. A pitch-framing specialist with rare agility behind the plate, Wolters must coax pitchers through Coors Field and its occasional malefactions. While Colorado's rotation is the best it's looked in years, the ninth inning could be an adventure. Seven pitchers recorded a save for the Rockies in 2016. Now, a man who hasn't thrown a competitive pitch since 2015 might be their best option. Holland, 31, saved 125 games for the Royals from 2013-15 before elbow surgery paused his career. Ottavino will close if Holland can't.
Outlook: The Rockies probably won't catch the Dodgers or Giants this season, but a .500 record or better would be a big boost for their rebuilding movement. Black skippered the Padres from 2007-15, then spent last year in the Angels' front office. His first task: keeping morale steady after a spate of injuries and illness struck the clubhouse. The Rockies' biggest offseason acquisition was veteran Desmond, but he'll miss the beginning of the season with a fractured hand. Pitcher Chad Bettis, who led the Rockies with 32 starts last year, is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for testicular cancer. Backup catcher Tom Murphy (hairline fracture in forearm) and outfielder Dahl (ribs) could also start the season on the DL. If they can get past these early hurdles, the Rockies will be competitive at worst and dangerous at best. | | 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. |
| | Rookie lefties duel as Giants look to sweep Rockies
SAN FRANCISCO -- Two young left-handers who already have tasted some success against their Wednesday opponent will square off in the finale of a three-game series between the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants. The Rockies' Kyle Freeland will seek to end his club's season-worst, seven-game losing streak and winless road trip when he duels with the Giants' Ty Blach. San Francisco has won the first two games of the series, including a 14-inning affair Tuesday night that lasted 4 hours, 45 minutes. Freeland is arguably the best rookie pitcher in the National League this season, having compiled an 8-5 record and a 3.70 ERA in 15 starts. The 24-year-old ranks second among NL rookies in wins, and first in wins on the road, where he is 4-2 with a 4.14 ERA. Freeland will be making his AT&T Park debut, but already he is no stranger to the Giants, having earlier pitched 8-0 and 5-1 home wins. He allowed just one run in 13 innings (0.69 ERA) in those games. One guy Freeland has never faced is Giants third baseman Jae-Gyun Hwang, who is expected to make his major league debut Wednesday. The South Korean has hit .287 with seven home runs at Triple-A Sacramento, earning him the promotion that Giants manager Bruce Bochy indicated would be announced Wednesday. "This is one of the best parts of the game for a manager," Bochy said of Hwang's debut. "It's when you can welcome and shake hands or even hug a guy who's worked hard for this opportunity. I'll be as happy as he is to see him here." Hwang will line up at third base beside Blach, who could be making his last start in a while. Having filled in during Madison Bumgarner's shoulder injury, Blach (4-5, 4.86 ERA) appears to have hit a rookie wall in recent starts. He went 0-3 in his past four starts, having been bombed for 22 runs and 37 hits in 21 1/3 innings (9.28 ERA). Bumgarner, who made a successful rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona League on Sunday, is expected to return to the rotation after the All-Star break. The Giants have two off days between now and then, meaning they will have the opportunity to send Blach back to the bullpen if they so choose. The 26-year-old has pitched well against the Rockies, both as a starter and out of the bullpen. He has allowed just three runs in 9 2/3 innings four head-to-head meetings this season. Like the Giants, the Rockies are looking forward to having a prospect make a splash Wednesday. Outfielder Mike Tauchman grounded out in his major league debut in Colorado's 4-3 loss Tuesday. He is a candidate to make his first start in the series finale. "His approach and his swing should be able to handle big-league pitching," Rockies manager Bud Black said of Tauchman, who hit .313 with 10 homers and 55 RBIs at Triple-A Albuquerque before the promotion. "It's nice to see his power. Will that translate? We'll see." Colorado's lineup will be without DJ LeMahieu on Wednesday. The second baseman experienced cramping in his right groin during the Tuesday game and left in the fourth inning. The injury is not considered serious, although Black announced after the game that LeMahieu would not start the series finale. |
