Manager: Joe Girardi (10th season)
Who's new? 1B/DH Chris Carter, 1B/LF/DH Matt Holliday, RHP Aroldis Chapman
Who's gone? 1B Mark Teixeira, C Brian McCann, RHP Nate Eovaldi, RHP Kirby Yates, RHP Anthony Swarzak, RHP Nick Goody, RHP Blake Parker
Projected lineup: LF Brett Gardner (.261, 7 HR, 41 RBI, 16 SB), CF Jacoby Ellsbury (.263, 9, 56, 20), C Gary Sanchez (.299, 20, 42 in 53 games), DH Matt Holliday (.246, 20, 62 with Cardinals), 1B Greg Bird (did not play in 2016), 2B Starlin Castro (.270, 21, 70), 3B Chase Headley (.253, 14, 51), RH Aaron Judge (.179, 4, 10 in 27 games) or Aaron Hicks (.217, 8, 31), SS Tyler Wade (.259, 5, 27 at Double-A) or Ronald Torreyes (.258, 1, 12)
Rotation: RH Masahiro Tanaka (14-4, 3.07), LH C.C. Sabathia (9-12, 3.91), RH Michael Pineda (6-12, 4.82), RH Luis Severino (3-8, 5.83), RH Chad Green (2-4, 4.73) or RH Adam Warren (4-2, 3.26) or RH Luis Cessa (4-4, 4.35) or RH Bryan Mitchell (1-2, 3.24 in five games)
Key relievers: LH Aroldis Chapman (4-1, 1.55, 36/39 SV), RH Dellin Betances (3-6, 3.08), RH Tyler Clippard (3-6, 3.57), LH Tommy Layne (2-0, 3.38), LH Chasen Shreve (2-1, 5.18)
Hot spots: Fifth starter and right field. The starter's competition is not urgent ' the Yankees have five off-days in the first month of the season ' but it's interesting nonetheless. Green, Cessa, Warren and Mitchell combined to make 22 major league starts last season. None had an outstanding spring training, so the Yankees might choose to divide the load again. Some will go to Triple-A, others to the bullpen. Someone named Aaron (Judge or Hicks) will be the Yankees' right fielder this season. If either falters, Tyler Austin or Rob Refsnyder could seize their at-bats.
Outlook: The Yankees will employ fewer past-their-prime position players in 2017 than any season this decade. Is their next generation of homegrown talent ready to take over? Sanchez is the most advanced prospect ' the catcher hit 20 home runs in 53 games as a rookie ' but beyond him lies several question marks. Greg Bird, Clint Frazier, Gleyber Torres, Judge and Austin (who was stalled in camp by a foot injury) will get a chance once they're ready. The pitching staff is led by Tanaka and the ferocious bullpen combo of Chapman, Betances and Clippard. But depth is a real question mark, and there are no blue-chip prospects at Triple-A waiting for their moment. | | BOSTON: 2016: 93-69, first place
Manager: John Farrell (fifth season)
Who's new? LHP Chris Sale, RHP Tyler Thornburg, 1B Mitch Moreland, OF Steve Selsky
Who's gone? DH David Ortiz, 3B Travis Shaw, 3B Yoan Moncada, 2B Aaron Hill, C Ryan Hanigan, RHP Clay Buchholz, RHP Junichi Tazawa, RHP Koji Uehara, RHP Brad Ziegler
Projected lineup: 2B Dustin Pedroia (.318, 15 HR, 74 RBI), LF Andrew Benintendi (.295, 2, 14 in 34 games), SS Xander Bogaerts (.294, 21, 89, 13 SB), RH Mookie Betts (.318, 31, 113), DH Hanley Ramirez (.286, 30, 111) CF Jackie Bradley Jr. (.267, 26, 87), 3B Pablo Sandoval (.000, 0, 0 in three games), 1B Mitch Moreland (.233, 22, 60 with Rangers), C Sandy Leon (.310, 7, 35) or Christian Vazquez (.224, 1, 12)
Rotation: LH Chris Sale (17-10, 3.34 ERA), RH Rick Porcello (22-4, 3.15), RH Steven Wright (13-6, 3.33), LH Drew Pomeranz (3-5, 4.59), LH Eduardo Rodriguez (3-7, 4.71)
Key relievers: RH Craig Kimbrel (2-6, 3.40, 31/33 SV), RH Tyler Thornburg (8-5, 2.15 with Brewers), RH Joe Kelly (4-0, 5.18), LH Robbie Ross (3-2, 3.25), RH Matt Barnes (4-3, 4.05), LH Fernando Abad (1-6, 3.66 with Twins and Red Sox), RH Heath Hembree (4-1, 2.65)
Hot spots: Third base. Is this the year Sandoval is known more for his ability to play baseball than his physique? Sandoval, who missed all but three games last year because of a shoulder injury, showed up to spring training looking slimmer than years past. His production at the plate and agility on the field followed suit in the Grapefruit League. The Red Sox have shown they aren't afraid to take playing time away from the Panda if he doesn't deserve it. Josh Rutledge, a competent fielder and perhaps a better hitter against left-handers, is around just in case.
Outlook: Boston scored more runs than any team in baseball last year, and this year's club has the pitching to avoid another early playoff exit. Newcomer Sale is the best left-hander in the AL, an ace in his prime. Porcello is the reigning Cy Young Award winner. David Price, when he returns from an elbow injury, gives the Red Sox arguably the best 1-2-3 punch in the league. Ortiz retired, but he'll leave a bigger hole in the hearts of fans than in the lineup. Benintendi is a candidate for the AL Rookie of the Year award, while Betts played like an MVP at age 23. A bounceback season from Sandoval would give opposing pitchers no chance to breathe. Triple-A depth shouldn't be enough of an issue to prevent the Sox from challenging the Indians for the pennant. |
| | Sale to make Yanks-Red Sox rivalry debut
BOSTON -- Three years ago, New York ace Masahiro Tanaka was introduced to the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry when he made his debut against Boston at Fenway Park on April 22, 2014. Tanaka will be on the mound at Fenway again Thursday when another star pitcher, Boston's Chris Sale, is introduced to one of baseball's greatest rivalries in the series finale. New York (12-7) earned a 3-1 win Wednesday, so the Yankees will be looking to take the abbreviated two-game series. "It's a great matchup," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Chris Sale has been extremely tough on us. It looks like he's off to another pretty good start this year the way he's thrown the ball." Sale (1-1, 0.91 ERA) has been dominant in his first four starts since being acquired from the Chicago White Sox in a blockbuster deal last December. The southpaw has allowed three earned runs over 29 2/3 innings this season, holding the Toronto Blue Jays scoreless on four hits and a walk with a season-high 13 strikeouts in a 4-1 win on April 20. Sale leads the majors with 42 strikeouts. Tanaka, meanwhile, trumps Sale in one category -- his career strikeout-to-walk ratio of 4.94 is the highest in the modern era (since 1900). Sale ranks second in that category (4.83). Against the Yankees, Sale has been lights out. He is 4-1 with a 1.17 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 10 outings (seven starts) vs. New York. That is the lowest ERA by any pitcher against the Yankees (minimum 50 innings) since earned runs became an official stat in the AL in 1913. One Yankee has had success against Sale. Chase Headley is 5-for-13 (.385) with a pair of homers and two RBIs off the five-time All-Star. Chris Carter (2-for-13) also has a solo homer against Sale, while Aaron Hicks is 4-for-12 (.333) against him. Tanaka (2-1, 6.00 ERA) is 5-2 with a 4.05 ERA in 10 career starts against the Red Sox and 2-1 with a 4.34 mark in five starts at Fenway Park. The Japanese-born righty won his second consecutive start on April 19, limiting the White Sox to one run on six hits and two walks while fanning a season-best six batters. Dustin Pedroia (7-for-23, .304), Xander Bogaerts (6-for-27, .222) and Hanley Ramirez (2-for-13, .154) have all taken Tanaka deep, while Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr. (2-for-17, .118) have three RBIs against him. Boston (11-9) expects to be bolstered by the return of Pedroia, who hasn't played since Orioles third baseman Manny Machado injured him with a controversial slide at second base last Friday in Baltimore. Pedroia, who sprained his left knee on the play, was supposed to return for the Tuesday series opener against New York, but the game was rained out. However, Red Sox manager John Farrell ruled Pedroia out again before the Wednesday game. "I did some activities (Tuesday), kind of tested it out a little bit. Just a little sore," Pedroia told WEEI.com. "They're just going to give me one more day and I'll be in there." |
