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. | | MILWAUKEE: 2016: 73-89, fourth place
Manager: Craig Counsell (third season)
Who's new? 1B Eric Thames, 3B Travis Shaw, C Jett Bandy, RHP Neftali Feliz, RHP Joba Chamberlain, LHP Tommy Milone
Who's gone? 1B Chris Carter, C Martin Maldonado, OF Rymer Liriano, RHP Tyler Thornburg, RHP Blaine Boyer, LHP Chris Capuano
Projected lineup: 2B Jonathan Villar (.285, 19 HR, 63 RBI, 62 SB), SS Orlando Arcia (.219, 4, 17), LF Ryan Braun (.305, 30, 91, 16), 1B Eric Thames (.317, 40, 118, 13 SBs in Korea), RF Domingo Santana (.256, 11, 32), 3B Travis Shaw (.242, 16, 71 with Red Sox), CF Keon Broxton (.242, 9, 19, 23 SB), C Jett Bandy (.234, 8, 25 with Angels)
Rotation: Junior Guerra (9-3, 2.81 ERA), Zach Davies (11-7, 3.97), Matt Garza (4-8, 4.51), Wily Peralta (7-11, 3.86), Jimmy Nelson (8-16, 4.62) or Chase Anderson (9-11, 4.39) or Tommy Milone (3-5, 5.71 with Twins)
Key relievers: RHP Neftali Feliz (4-2, 3.52 with Pirates), RHP Corey Knebel (1-4, 4.68), RHP Carlos Torres (3-3, 2.73), RHP Jhan Marinez (0-1, 3.22), RHP Joba Chamberlain (0-0, 2.25 with Indians), RHP Jacob Barnes (0-1, 2.70), RHP Tyler Cravy (0-1, 2.86)
Hot spot: Fifth starter. Guerra and Davies began last season in the minors, then emerged as pleasant surprises in an otherwise long season. Now the Brewers have seven candidates for five rotation jobs. Nelson, who's led the staff in innings the last two years, might be wary of his two minor league options if he struggles out of the gate.
Outlook: No team was more active on the bases last season than the Brewers, whose 181 steals were the most by any team since 2009. Villar, Broxton and Hernan Perez were the primary thieves, and all return. The front office curiously chose not to bring back Carter after a 41-home run season. His replacement is Thames, who hasn't had a major league at-bat since 2012. Hitter-friendly Miller Park will do no favors to their pedestrian pitching staff, but the Brewers aren't expected to contend for at least another couple seasons. At least their offense will be entertaining in the meantime. |
| | Cardinals try for series victory over Brewers
MILWAUKEE -- It's fair to say the St. Louis Cardinals' offense is still a work in progress but it's been good enough this weekend to put them in a position to win their second consecutive series when they take on the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday afternoon at Miller Park. Saturday night, the Cardinals collected 12 hits but stranded 11 and went 0-for-14 with runners in scoring position yet somehow, still found a way to pull out a victory. "That just can't keep happening," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "It's putting a lot more pressure on our pitching. The first three innings, we had leadoff doubles, get him over, do a nice job two to three times and we don't get the job done. That's something we've just got to get better at." The struggling offense hasn't been too much of a problem for right-hander Mike Leake, the Cardinals' scheduled starter Sunday. Through his first three outings this season, Leake leads the NL with an 0.84 ERA and is third with a 0.84 WHIP. He's only allowed two runs and a walk this season and didn't walk a batter last time out, when he allowed a run over 6 1/3 on Tuesday against Pittsburgh. "Pretty in sync," Leake said after that outing. "The stuff moving down and away was a bit tricky, but other than that, I felt pretty good." Leake pointed a career-worst 4.69 ERA last season but found success against Milwaukee, going 2-0 with a 3.32 ERA with 20 strikeouts and two walks in three starts. Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson looks for his first victory against the Cardinals. He's 0-7 with a 7.34 ERA in nine career games (eight starts), including an 0-2 mark and 4.50 ERA in three starts last season. He should benefit from a Brewers' offense that is improving by the day. Milwaukee didn't hit a home run Saturday night, but entered Saturday leading the majors with 22 homers, 73 extra-base hits, 289 total bases and a .475 slugging percentage. Now, they are starring to get production from all through their order, too. Keon Broxton recorded a hit for a second straight game after snapping an 0-for-18 funk while Jonathan Villar has hits in four straight games. He leads Milwaukee with 33 strikeouts this season but didn't strike out Saturday against the Cardinals. Getting Broxton going, though, will be important for the Brewers moving forward. He's expected to see a majority of the action in center now that Kirk Nieuwenhuis has been designated for assignment. "It's really not about the hits," he said. "It's just finding a comfort zone in the box and being able to recognize pitches and lay off pitches I've been swinging at, and squaring up balls. That's what happened tonight -- I was able to lay off a lot of pitches that I was usually swinging at, I saw the ball a lot better and I was able to put good wood on the ball. "That's the main goal in the box -- it's not really about getting hits. It's about having good at-bats and squaring the ball up. I'm glad I was able to get back to that tonight and I'll try to continue it tomorrow." |
