|
| |  | SAN DIEGO: HITTING: This was by far the worst lineup in the National League in runs (3.66 per game), HR (91), and OPS (.653). 1B JESUS GUZMAN had 44 RBI in just 247 at-bats thanks to a 1.094 OPS with RISP. 1B YONDER ALONSO, the key piece of the Mat Latos trade, will play first every day, moving Guzman to a back-up role. OF CAMERON MAYBIN used his speed to steal 40 bases and score 82 runs. OF CARLOS QUENTIN was acquired from the White Sox and will provide much-needed power in the middle of the batting order when he returns to the field sometime in late April/early May after having knee surgery. Slugger KYLE BLANKS will fill the void. In 420 career at-bats, he has 20 homers, but also has a .219 BA and 152 strikeouts. SS JASON BARTLETT had a disappointing first season in San Diego, hitting only two home runs in 554 at-bats and posting a pathetic .615 OPS as the team's No. 2 hitter in the lineup. Mediocre OF WILL VENABLE (.705 OPS) would not start for any other team in the majors. 3B CHASE HEADLEY batted .289 with a .374 OBP, but failed to provide any power from the three-hole. Oft-injured C NICK HUNDLEY had an .824 OPS and 9 HR in half a season. SS ORLANDO HUDSON batted just .246 with 92 strikeouts and just 31 walks.
STARTING PITCHING: This young staff finished sixth in the majors with a 3.62 ERA. TIM STAUFFER struggled to pitch outside of spacious Petco Park, posting a 4.95 ERA and 1.39 WHIP on the road (2.57 ERA, 1.13 WHIP at home). Two starters both underwent surgery on their throwing shoulders last summer, but are expected to be ready for the start of the season. Lefty CLAYTON RICHARD had just 53 K and 38 BB in 99.2 innings, but he posted a strong 2.30 ERA and 1.11 WHIP at home last year. The 2011 campaign was the year to judge whether EDINSON VOLQUEZ was all the way back from major arm surgery. Well, the jury's in and the verdict isn't kind. The move to San Diego can only cure so much. Right-hander DUSTIN MOSELEY enjoyed his first season in the NL, posting career-best marks in ERA (3.30) and WHIP (1.28). But like Richard, his 64 K and 36 BB in 120 innings were unimpressive. CORY LUEBKE began 2011 in the bullpen, but was moved the rotation, which is where he'll stay in 2012. In 17 starts last year, he shined with a 3.31 ERA and 111 K in 100.2 IP.
RELIEF PITCHING: For the first time since 2008, somebody other than Heath Bell will close games for the Padres. HUSTON STREET will certainly benefit from the move to hitter haven Coors Field to pitcher-friendly Petco Park. Street had a 4.20 home ERA in three seasons in Colorado, while posting a stellar 2.59 ERA on the road. If Street gets hurt, the two leading candidates for the closer role are LUKE GREGERSON and ERNESTO FRIERI. Gregerson is the more consistent pitcher of the two, but Frieri throws harder than Gregerson and has a stellar 11.1 strikeout rate in his three-year career. | | WASHINGTON: HITTING: The Nats were among the eight worst teams in the majors in runs (3.88 per game), BA (.242), OBP (.309) and OPS (.691). Much of that had to do with the first two spots in the batting order hitting .285 OBP and .283 OBP respectively. OF ROGER BERNADINA (.301 OBP) and SS IAN DESMOND (.298 OBP) were the regular 1-2 hitters in the order. $126 million OF JAYSON WERTH was also to blame, batting .232 with a meager 58 RBI in 561 at-bats. 3B RYAN ZIMMERMAN also missed two months with an abdominal problem and had a down year with 12 HR and 49 RBI in 101 games. But OF MIKE MORSE had a breakout season, leading the Nats in batting (.303), HR (31) and RBI (95). 1B ADAM LaROCHE suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in June, but should be fully healed. Washington is counting on a pair of talented 24-year-olds to contribute a little more in 2B DANNY ESPINOSA (.236 BA, 21 HR) and C WILSON RAMOS (15 HR in 389 AB).
STARTING PITCHING: STEPHEN STRASBURG is back fully healed from Tommy John surgery, but will reportedly be limited to 160 innings in 2012. That's still enough time to strike out 150 batters and win a dozen games though. In sending four quality prospects to Oakland, the Nats paid a huge price for GIO GONZALEZ. They hope he can overcome his control issues and become an elite No. 2. Well-traveled EDWIN JACKSON was also brought in to help bolster the rotation. He joins his sixth different club since 2008, but Jackson is just 28 years old and was serviceable after being traded to St. Louis last year (5-2, 3.58 ERA). JORDAN ZIMMERMANN was in the same boat as Strasburg last year, coming off elbow surgery and limited to 161.1 innings. But in that time, he had a team-best 3.18 ERA and 4.0 K-to-BB ratio (124 K, 31 BB). JOHN LANNAN remains the top lefty in the Nats rotation with a team-high 10 wins in 2011. He dominated left-handed hitters last year (.211 BA, 55 K in 185 AB), but still needs to improve his weak 1.4 K-to-BB ratio (106 K, 76 BB).
RELIEF PITCHING: DREW STOREN had a phenomenal first year as a full-time closer, saving 43-of-48 games with a 2.75 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 74 K in 75.1 innings. His role will remain the same in 2012 once he returns from the 15-day DL (elbow) to start the season. Newcomer BRAD LIDGE was limited to 25 innings because of shoulder problems last year, but he appears to be the closer until Storen returns. The Nats have arguably the best set-up man in the game in TYLER CLIPPARD, who led the majors with 38 holds and posted a 1.83 ERA and 0.84 WHIP for the season. He held opponents to a .162 average and fanned 104 batters in 88.1 innings of work. Lefty SEAN BURNETT saw a huge decline in his numbers, as his ERA rose from 2.14 to 3.81 and his WHIP jumped from 1.14 to 1.32. This was mostly due to a diminishing strikeout rate (8.9 to 5.2 last year). |

*Padres-Nationals Preview* ==========================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
San Diego (40-47) at Washington (44-42), 1:35 p.m. EDT
The San Diego Padres have struggled offensively during their longest losing streak in nearly two years. Considering they'll face one of the top pitchers in baseball in Sunday's series finale against the Washington Nationals, that could very well continue.
Stephen Strasburg takes on San Diego's scuffling lineup looking to deal the visiting Padres a ninth straight defeat.
The Padres scored nine total runs in the first two games of this series after managing seven in the first six losses. They still squandered opportunities, however, going 3 for 23 with runners in scoring position in the last two contests.
Pedro Ciriaco, Chris Denorfia and Logan Forsythe have had an especially rough go of late. Ciriaco and Denorfia are both 3 for 20 and Forsythe is 4 for 30 during the eight-game skid.
San Diego hasn't lost nine in a row since Aug. 24-Sept. 3, 2011.
Now the Padres must face Strasburg (4-6, 2.24 ERA), who has posted a 1.29 ERA in his last nine starts. One of those outings was a 6-2 win at San Diego on May 16 in which he gave up two runs - one earned - and three hits over eight innings.
The right-hander, though, is just 3-2 during that stretch as he's suffered from a lack of run support. The Nationals have lost three of Strasburg's last four starts after totaling four runs for him.
He threw seven scoreless innings and gave up three hits to the Brewers on Tuesday, striking out eight, in a 4-0 loss. Strasburg didn't get a decision.
"You know I'm tired of talking about that," he said of the lack of run support. "These guys battle every single day, just like I do, and it just didn't work for us tonight."
Perhaps Bryce Harper, announced as an All-Star starter Saturday, can provide some offense for Strasburg. Manager Davey Johnson initially planned on giving Harper Saturday and Sunday off after he went 1 for 19 in his first five games since returning from left knee bursitis.
Harper, though, successfully lobbied to play Saturday and went 1 for 2 with a walk and three RBIs, including driving in the tying run in the seventh on a sacrifice fly.
Harper and the Nationals will face Robbie Erlin (1-1, 4.34) for the first time as the rookie left-hander makes his fourth career start. Erlin took the loss in his last outing, giving up three runs in 3 2-3 innings of a 4-1 defeat at Boston on Tuesday, his shortest start of the season.
A day after getting Everth Cabrera back from injury, the Padres lost another player Saturday. Catcher Yasmani Grandal will be placed on the 15-day disabled list after suffering a right knee injury in a home plate collision with Anthony Rendon.
Jesus Guzman remained hot Saturday, going 2 for 4 with a three-run homer that was the Padres' only hit in 14 at-bats with runners in scoring position. He's 9 for 18 with four doubles and two home runs in six games during San Diego's losing streak.
