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. | | 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. |
| | Pirates attempt to make it two in a row against Cardinals
ST. LOUIS -- It wasn't exactly a long national nightmare or even a regional one. But the Pittsburgh Pirates did remove a seven-game losing streak at Busch Stadium from their shoulders on Friday night. Their come-from-behind 4-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals had all the elements that a team requires to claim a tight victory: solid pitching, timely hitting, excellent defense and clutch work out of the bullpen. "We felt like we were going to win sometime this weekend," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "Might as well get it done tonight. That's just the attitude we have. Yeah, it's good to be over for sure." The Pirates can now make it a winning streak under the Gateway Arch if they win game two of the weekend series between National League Central rivals on Saturday night. Friday night's win enabled Pittsburgh (34-40) to crawl within five games of first-place Milwaukee and jump over St. Louis (33-39) by a percentage point for third place. The overall weakness of the division has allowed both the Pirates and Cardinals to stay within a long winning streak of the top despite playing sub-.500 baseball. Pittsburgh will go for a series win behind right-hander Gerrit Cole (5-6, 4.28), who in his last two starts has looked more like an ace and less like a guy who some feel could be moved at the trading deadline if the Pirates fall out of contention. Cole cruised to an 8-1 win Monday night in Milwaukee, giving up three hits and a run in seven innings while walking two and whiffing five. Cole is 5-4 with a 2.84 ERA in 11 career starts against St. Louis. He faced the Cardinals on April 19 and pitched a good game except for two pitches to Dexter Fowler that turned into solo homers. That was enough to get Cole beaten by a 2-1 count. Fowler could be back in the St. Louis lineup on Saturday night after missing the last two games with a quad strain suffered in the 10th inning of a 7-6 win at Philadelphia. That also marked the last time the Cardinals won. They have dropped their last two games, lowering their June record to 8-14. Five of the wins came courtesy of the Phillies, who are currently on the clock for the top pick in next June's draft. St. Louis will turn to Lance Lynn (5-4, 3.33) to reverse its fortunes. Lynn is trying to bounce back from a rough outing on Sunday at Baltimore, where he gave up seven runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings of an 8-5 setback. While Lynn is 6-5 with a mediocre 4.41 ERA in 20 career appearances against Pittsburgh, his last outing against the Pirates was terrific. On April 17, Lynn worked seven shutout innings in a 2-1 win. The Cardinals appeared to be in position to start this series with a win, but their top relievers -- Trevor Rosenthal and Seung Hwan Oh -- couldn't protect a 3-2 edge. Rosenthal burped up the tying run in the eighth and Oh allowed John Jaso's tiebreaking homer in the ninth. It was the fifth homer that Oh has permitted this year, matching the total he allowed all of last year. "His velocity's there," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said of Oh. "He's just elevating some pitches a bit." |
