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. | | 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. |
| | Cardinals shoot for sweep of Rockies
ST. LOUIS -- If it feels like Beale Street North around the St. Louis Cardinals' clubhouse these days, there is good reason. A close look reveals Tommy Pham, Paul DeJong, Randal Grichuk, Harrison Bader, Carson Kelly and Luke Voit. All of them spent time in Triple-A Memphis, which owns the Pacific Coast League's best record at 67-35. Those guys are now giving St. Louis a much-needed lift, teaming with quality starting pitching to help the Cardinals put together consecutive wins over the Colorado Rockies. A chance for a sweep occurs Wednesday night in Busch Stadium. The Cardinals' 3-2 victory over the Rockies on Tuesday included a two-run homer from DeJong, his 13th in 175 big-league at-bats; a sprawling catch from Pham in left that denied Charlie Blackmon a hit in the sixth; and Bader's successful big league debut. Bader led off the ninth inning with a double into the left field corner for his first major league hit. He moved to third on Greg Garcia's sacrifice bunt and then turned Jedd Gyorko's short fly ball to right into a game-winning sacrifice fly, beating Carlos Gonzalez's accurate throw home. "They're doing something right down there," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of his Triple-A affiliate. "They're about 35 games over .500. They have good players and they're being prepared well. "When they get up here, the guys make them feel welcome. That way, they feel more likely to contribute instead of having to earn their stripes." Those reinforcements came in particularly handy on a night when St. Louis placed center fielder Dexter Fowler (left wrist strain) and veteran starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (mid-back tightness) on the 10-day disabled list. Still, the Cardinals are only four games out of first in the National League Central despite a 49-51 record. What's more, they will have ace Carlos Martinez going to the mound Wednesday night. Martinez (6-8, 3.34 ERA) got a no-decision Friday in an 11-4 road win over the Chicago Cubs, allowing 10 hits but only three runs (two earned) in six innings. He induced three double-play balls, helping keep St. Louis in contention until it exploded for nine runs in the eighth. Martinez pitched well two months ago in Coors Field, permitting three runs in 7 1/3 innings, but he was outdueled by rookie Antonio Senzatela in a 10-0 defeat. In eight career outings against Colorado, Martinez is 2-1 with a 6.11 ERA in eight games (four starts). Hard-throwing right-hander Jeff Hoffman (6-2, 5.10 ERA) gets the call for the Rockies, his first career outing against St. Louis. Hoffman is coming off a 12-5 defeat Friday night at home to Pittsburgh, when he allowed seven runs and nine hits in three innings with four walks and two strikeouts. The Tuesday night game was played under slightly different timing rules between innings with only a 1:40 commercial break. Most regular-season games take 2:05 between innings, while nationally televised games have 2:25 breaks. It had no effect on pace of play, though, as the game clocked in at 3 hours, 11 minutes. "If you're asking me if I like one minute and 40 seconds over two minutes and (25) seconds, I'll take the one-forty," Colorado manager Bud Black said. "But on the other end of that, we understand what that other minute means." |
