Projected lineup: SS Dee Gordon (.268, 1 HR, 14 RBI, 30 SB in 79 games), 3B Martin Prado (.305, 8, 75), CF Christian Yelich (.298, 21, 98), RF Giancarlo Stanton (.240, 27, 74 in 119 games), LF Marcell Ozuna (.266, 23, 76), 1B Justin Bour (.264, 15, 51), C J.T. Realmuto (.303, 11, 48, 12 SB), SS Adeiny Hechavarria (.236, 3, 38)
Rotation: LH Wei-Yin Chen (5-5, 4.96), RH Edinson Volquez (10-11, 5.37 with Royals), LH Adam Conley (8-6, 3.85), RH Dan Straily (14-8, 3.76 with Reds), RH Tom Koehler (9-13, 4.33)
Key relievers: RH A.J. Ramos (1-4, 2.81 40/43 SV), RH Brad Ziegler (2-3, 2.28, 18/20 SV with Diamondbacks), RH Junichi Tazawa (3-2, 4.17 with Red Sox), RH Kyle Barraclough (6-3, 2.85), RH David Phelps (7-6, 2.28), RH Dustin McGowan (1-3, 2.82)
Hot spots: Middle infield. Gordon and Hechavarria were a throwback double-play combo in 2016: strong defense up the middle, light with the bats. That would be OK in some lineups, but only three MLB teams scored fewer runs per game last season than Miami. Derek Dietrich was a more than capable fill-in during Gordon's PED suspension, posting a .374 on-base percentage. How long can Mattingly keep Dietrich on the bench if Gordon and Hechavarria struggle to hit?
Outlook: There are many recent examples of teams taking the 'stars and scrubs' approach to roster construction. It never ends well. The Marlins lost their brightest star when ace right-hander Jose Fernandez died far too young; replacing his production and presence was impossible. The remaining stars come with major question marks. Can Stanton stay healthy? If not, can Yelich and Bour be the pillars of the lineup? Who's the star of this pitching staff? No team managed by Mattingly has lost more than 82 games in a season. That will change in 2017. | | TEXAS: 2016: 95-67, first place
Manager: Jeff Banister (third season)
Who's new? 1B Mike Napoli, 1B James Loney, INF Will Middlebrooks, RHP Andrew Cashner, RHP Tyson Ross, RHP Mike Hauschild
Who's gone? 1B Mitch Moreland, INF/OF Ian Desmond, OF/DH Carlos Beltran, RHP Derek Holland, RHP Colby Lewis, RHP Shawn Tolleson, RHP Lucas Harrell
Projected lineup: CF Carlos Gomez (.231, 13 HR, 53 RBI, 18 SB in 118 games with Astros and Rangers), DH Shin-Soo Choo (.242, 7, 17, 6 in 48 games), 3B Adrian Beltre (.300, 32, 104), 1B Mike Napoli (.239, 34, 101 with Indians), 2B Rougned Odor (.271, 33, 88, 14 SB), C Jonathan Lucroy (.292, 24, 81 with Brewers and Rangers), RF Nomar Mazara (.266, 20, 64), SS Elvis Andrus (.302, 8, 69, 24 SB), LF Jurickson Profar (.239, 5, 20) or Ryan Rua (.258, 8, 22, 9 SB)
Rotation: LH Cole Hamels (15-5, 3.32 ERA), RH Yu Darvish (7-5, 3.42 in 17 games), LH Martin Perez (10-11, 4.39), RH A.J. Griffin (7-4, 5.07), RH Andrew Cashner (5-11, 5.25 with Padres and Marlins)
Key relievers: RH Sam Dyson (3-2, 2.43, 38/43 SV), RH Matt Bush (7-2, 2.48), RH Jeremy Jeffress (27/28 SV with Brewers and Rangers), RH Tony Barnette (7-3, 2.09), LH Alex Claudio (4-1, 2.79), RH Keone Kela (5-1, 6.09)
Hot spots: Designated hitter and left field. Choo, Napoli and Joey Gallo are all candidates to DH. Gallo, a perennial prospect with prodigious power, can make it interesting by seizing his first-ever Opening Day roster spot. Otherwise Napoli (a first baseman) and Choo (an outfielder) can switch off as needed. Moving Desmond to the outfield was successful enough last year that the Rangers are taking a similar approach with Profar. The oft-injured 24-year-old will try to break camp as a left fielder, platooning with Rua.
Outlook: Coming off back-to-back division titles, the Rangers begin 2017 with a weakened farm system and the footsteps of the Astros and Mariners passing them by ' or at least catching up. There's still a lot to like here. Napoli was a huge bargain on a $6 million contract following his 34-homer season in Cleveland. He'll join Beltre and Odor to form a dangerous middle of the order. Darvish is entering his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, and he and catcher Lucroy are entering their long-awaited walk years. This isn't the deepest roster in the AL but it's capable of winning another division title if its stars can avoid the disabled list. |
| | Rangers seek clutch hits in rubber match against Marlins
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Clutch hitting has eluded the Texas Rangers for maddening stretches this season, especially with runners in scoring position. The reasons why are a mystery. "We have some series where we hit really well in those situations and others where we do not," Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre said. "The good thing about it is we create situations. If we create situations, we're going to find a way somehow to crack it. "As long as we create situations, I think we're close to start being more consistent in that situation. It's baseball." The Rangers were able to do some of that Tuesday in a 10-4 win over the Miami Marlins to even the three-game interleague series. The rubber game is Wednesday night at Globe Life Park. Texas (49-51) has been overly reliant on home runs at times, and Tuesday the Rangers hit four long balls. However, they also had a sacrifice fly and went 5-for-7 with runners in scoring position. Jonathan Lucroy and Nomar Mazara snapped long hitless droughts as the Rangers racked up 15 hits. The team's 31 total bases were a season high and the most for the Rangers since 2015. "We've been struggling as an offense, and we know that," said Mike Napoli, who homered Tuesday. "We've got a lot of good hitters on this club. Hopefully this is a good sign for us going forward where a lot of guys in the lineup start seeing the ball really well and we help our pitchers scoring some runs." The Rangers still have designs on wild-card spot despite being two games under .500. "We are trying to win baseball games," Texas manager Jeff Banister said. "That's the mindset here every day. That's the only thing we can do is own the day." The series finale could also be Yu Darvish's last start with the Rangers, as trade rumors are running rampant regarding the right-handed ace. The four-time All-Star hasn't been sharp lately, going 0-4 with a 4.26 ERA in his past seven starts to raise season ERA from 3.03 to 3.44, which remains eighth in the AL. Darvish has started once against the Marlins, pitching a complete-game shutout while striking out 10 and walking three in a 6-0 win in 2014. It was Darvish's first career shutout. He took a no-decision Friday in a 4-3 Texas victory at Tampa Bay, allowing three runs in eight innings on five hits. All three runs were on solo home runs, which was just the third time in his career he gave up three long balls. Darvish struck out a season-high 12 and walked one on Friday, marking the eighth time in his last 10 starts that he issued one or no bases on balls. He has fanned 10 or more 32 times, which is second in club history to Nolan Ryan's 34. The Marlins (45-53) counter Wednesday with Jose Urena. The 25-year-old righty is 2-1 in July with a 5.21 ERA. Urena (8-4, 3.78 ERA) is coming off a win at Cincinnati on Friday, when he pitched six innings and allowed one run on three hits and two walks. He struck out four. Urena has never faced Texas. Miami likely will be without Justin Bour for an extended period of time. The first baseman, who is in the midst of the breakout season, went on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday due to a right oblique strain. The absence could be considerably longer. "Usually these really aren't 10-day things for me," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "The average is about 28 days or something like that for a rib cage. I think it would be more along those lines than 10 days." |
