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. | | COLORADO: 2016: 75-87, third place
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. |
| | Rockies look to complete sweep of Giants
DENVER -- The Colorado Rockies will try to sweep their three-game series with the San Francisco Giants on Sunday after beating them for the fifth time in six games this season with a 12-3 thrashing Saturday night. Jeff Samardzija will start for the Giants, continuing what for him has been a peculiar schedule this season as he has faced just two teams. His first two starts were against Arizona before he faced the Rockies in San Francisco last weekend. In a seven-inning outing and 4-3 loss to the Rockies last Sunday, Samardzija surrendered four hits and three runs to the first four batters he faced and then settled down to allow four hits and one run the rest of his outing. He is 0-3 with a 6.16 ERA in his three starts this year but with six walks and 24 strikeouts in 19 innings. Against the Rockies, Samardzija is 3-3 with a 2.55 ERA in 12 career games, including eight starts. He has been even better at Coors Field, going 2-0 with a 2.15 ERA in six games, including three starts. "I think the pitches I throw play well here, the sinkers and cutters," Samardzija said. "I'm not a big curveball guy or up and down in the zone type guy." Samardzija can run his fastball into the mid-90s and his cutter in the 92-93 range, which he said, "is big against a team like Colorado that has a lot of power and can smell those fences here in this park. You got to keep guys off balance, in and out and just stay off the barrel." Then there's the heightened awareness that comes from pitching at Coors Field, where fly balls go farther in the mile-high altitude. "The other thing, too, is coming in here you know you have to be on point and locate your pitches," Samardzija said. "That might have something to do with it, too, just understanding that the margin for error is smaller here." Rookie left-hander Kyle Freeland will start for the Rockies. The Denver native made his major-league debut in the team's home opener April 7 and held the Dodgers to four hits and one run in six innings and won 2-1 in a dazzling performance. The going has subsequently been harder for Freeland, who is 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA in three starts and will face the Giants for the first time. In his last start Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, Freeland was unable to qualify for the victory. He was lifted after walking and hitting the two batters he faced in the fifth with a 4-1 lead in a game the Rockies won 4-3. He only allowed four hits but had 10 baserunners, as he walked four and hit two batters while striking out three and throwing 87 pitches, including 45 strikes. "In that last start, I think I was trying to put every single pitch into a soup can," Freeland said, "and just like hit a spot perfectly. That kind of worked against me at times, because (there were) a lot of deep counts, a lot of long at-bats, four walks." Freeland said he needs to get back "to filling up the zone and attacking hitters." To that end, Rockies manager Bud Black said Freeland has been working on a minor mechanical adjustment with his stride direction and his line to the plate to get better fastball command. "His fastball has got good movement," Black said. "He's got to get to the point where the arm-side fastball, down and away to the righty and in to the lefty, has to become sort of a consistent benchmark for him. Through the early stages here, he's been trying to make that a part of his game plan going in, and it's just been a little variable. "Part of what makes him good is his angles to the hitter are just a little funky, and it's OK. But we got to just straighten that stride a touch, and he's got to remember to hit the release point out front consistently." |
