| | | CLEVELAND: 2016: 94-67, first place, AL champions, lost to Chicago Cubs in World Series.
Manager: Terry Francona (fifth season).
He's Here: 1B-DH Edwin Encarnacion, OF Austin Jackson, LHP Boone Logan, RHP Carlos Frias, OF Wily Mo Pena, CF Bradley Zimmer, SS Eric Stamets.
He's Outta Here: 1B-DH Mike Napoli, OF Coco Crisp, OF Rajai Davis, C Chris Gimenez, 1B Jesus Aguilar, OF Marlon Byrd, RHP Jeff Manship.
Projected lineup: SS Francisco Lindor (.301, 15 HRs, 78 RBIs, Gold Glove, league-leading 15 sac flies in first full MLB season), 2B Jason Kipnis (.275, 23, 82, career-high 156 games), LF Michael Brantley (.231, 0, 7 in 11 games following shoulder surgery; .310, 15, 84, MLB-best 45 doubles, 15 SBs in 2015), DH Edwin Encarnacion (.263, 42, AL-high 142 RBIs for Toronto), 1B Carlos Santana (.259, 34, 87, 99 BBs, 99 Ks), 3B Jose Ramirez (.312, 11, 76, played 4 positions) or Giovanny Urshela (.225, 6, 21 in 81 games for Cleveland), RF Brandon Guyer (.333, 2, 14 in 38 games with Indians; .241, 7, 18 in 63 games with Rays; led majors with 31 HBP) or Lonnie Chisenhall (.286, 8, 57), C Yan Gomes (.167, 9, 34 in 74 games due to shoulder injury), CF Tyler Naquin (.296, 14, 43) or Austin Jackson (.254, 0, 18 in 54 games with White Sox before left knee surgery).
Rotation: RH Corey Kluber (18-9, 3.14 ERA, 227 Ks, third in Cy Young voting), RH Carlos Carrasco (11-8, 3.32, 25 starts due to injuries), RH Danny Salazar (11-6, 3.87, 25 starts, limited in postseason by injury), RH Trevor Bauer (12-8, 4.26, 28 starts, began season in bullpen), RH Josh Tomlin (13-9, 4.40, 5.90 strikeout-to-walk ratio).
Key relievers: LH Andrew Miller (10-1, 1.45, 12 saves, 70 appearances with Yankees and Indians), RH Cody Allen (3-5, 2.51, 32/35 saves), RH Bryan Shaw (2-5, 3.24 in league-high 75 games; 70 games in each of past four seasons), RH Dan Otero (5-1, 1.53, 70 2/3 innings), LH Boone Logan (2-5, 3.69, 66 games with Rockies).
Hot Spot: Brantley's Right Shoulder. An All-Star in 2014, Brantley missed out on the fun last season as the Indians won the pennant without him. His return is vital for Cleveland as it tries to make another deep run because he can help provide lineup protection for Encarnacion and stabilize an outfield that was under constant change in 2016. Brantley may not hit for the same extra-base power he had in the past, but he could still offer a high average and excellent defense.
Outlook: With perhaps the league's deepest pitching staff, the Indians are an AL favorite and appear poised to return to the World Series. Last year, they exceeded expectations and built a 3-1 Series lead against the Cubs before losing three straight ' including a dramatic Game 7 at home. One elusive win from the franchise's first championship since 1948. This season, the Indians will try to finish the job. There are injury concerns with Brantley and Kipnis, who won't be ready for the start of the season because of shoulder inflammation. Ramirez could slide over to help fill in at second base. But the addition of Encarnacion finally gives Cleveland the intimidating, middle-of-the-order slugger the club has coveted since the glory days of Jim Thome, Manny Ramirez and Albert Belle. Cleveland is a baseball town again as Indians fans spent on tickets this winter and are rallying around the club the way they did back in the mid-1990s. Lindor is on the cusp of superstardom, and one of the Indians' top priorities should be signing him to a long-term deal while he's still affordable. | | CINCINNATI: 2016: 68-94, fifth place
Manager: Bryan Price (third season)
Who's new? RHP Scott Feldman, RHP Drew Storen, RHP Lisalverto Bonilla, OF Ryan Raburn, OF Desmond Jennings, IF/OF Arismendy Alcantara
Who's gone? 2B Brandon Phillips, C Ramon Cabrera, RHP Dan Straily, RHP Ross Ohlendorf, RHP Alfredo Simon, LHP John Lamb, RHP Josh Smith
Projected lineup: CF Billy Hamilton (.260, 3 HR, 17 RBI, 58 SB), SS Zack Cozart (.252, 16, 50), 1B Joey Votto (.326, 29, 97), LF Adam Duvall (.241, 33, 103), RF Scott Schebler (.265, 9, 40), 3B Eugenio Suarez (.248, 21, 70), C Devin Mesoraco (.140, 0, 1 in 16 games), 2B Jose Peraza (.324, 3, 25, 21 SB)
Rotation: RH Anthony DeSclafani (9-5, 3.28 ERA), RH Scott Feldman (7-4, 3.97 with Astros and Blue Jays), LH Brandon Finnegan (10-11, 3.98), RH Tim Adleman (4-4, 4.00), RH Robert Stephenson (2-3, 6.08) or Cody Reed (0-7, 7.36) or Amir Garrett (2-5, 3.46 for Triple-A Louisville)
Key relievers: RH Raisel Iglesias (3-2, 2.53, 6/8 SV), RH Drew Storen (3-0, 3.44 with Mariners), RH Michael Lorenzen (2-1, 2.88), LH Tony Cingrani (2-5, 4.14, 17/23 SV), RH Jumbo Diaz (1-1, 3.14), RH Blake Wood (6-5, 3.99)
Hot spot: Rotation. The Reds' rebuilding effort is just beginning to bear fruit on the mound. DeSclafani, 26, made a big leap in his second full season in 2016. Finnegan, 23, will try to do the same this year. If the next wave of pitchers isn't ready for the major leagues, Stephenson, Reed, Garrett, Sal Romano and Rookie Davis would make a mean rotation at Triple-A. Meanwhile, 40-year-old Bronson Arroyo will try to hold down a job like it's 2004.
Outlook: After trading Phillips to the Braves, only Votto and pitcher Homer Bailey remain from the Reds' last season as a contending team. Cincinnati was basically a .500 team (36-37) after the All-Star break last season, so maybe a return to respectability isn't far off. Hamilton and infielder Jose Peraza, electric on the bases and in the field, have breakout potential. There might not be another star on the roster besides Votto, but that's OK for now. With no veterans blocking their best prospects, the Reds can use this season to figure out what their system holds. |
| | Reds, Indians square off in Battle of Ohio
CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Reds hope to get injured starting pitchers Homer Bailey, Anthony DeSclafani or Brandon Finnegan back at some point this summer. Until then, the Reds will attempt to stay afloat with a revolving door of young arms and, for now, an eight-man bullpen. So far, it has been a struggle. Fortunately for Cincinnati, heading into a four-game, home-and-home interleague series with the Cleveland Indians that begins Monday at Great American Ball Park, scoring is not a problem. While the pitching is in disarray, the Reds' everyday lineup is strong, beginning with Billy Hamilton at the top and continuing through myriad hitters with gap power in Joey Votto, Adam Duvall and Scott Schebler. Manager Bryan Price doesn't necessarily think the Reds are a product of the recent upward trend in power numbers throughout baseball but rather a collective skill set in their lineup, which has home run potential throughout. "It's a popular discussion that guys are trying to lift the ball," Price said Sunday. "I don't know how many guys we have on our team that try to lift the ball. The power is great. But it's not just the homers, it's the extra-base hits. "Coming out of spring training, we were optimistic that we could score runs and have a batting order that top to bottom is strong. I think it's reflective in our team's success offensively." Cincinnati (20-23) scored 22 runs in the weekend series against the Rockies but lost two of three when Colorado scored 26. The Rockies hit four homers in a 6-4 victory on Sunday. Now, the defending American League champion Cleveland Indians come to town for two games beginning Monday night. The Indians (23-19) are beginning to look like a World Series contender again, coming off a three-game sweep at Houston. On Monday night, Reds right-hander Scott Feldman (2-4, 4.29 ERA) will face Indians right-hander Josh Tomlin (2-5, 6.86). Feldman is 2-3 against the Tribe with a 3.02 ERA in six career starts. Tomlin, meanwhile, beat Cincinnati on May 19, 2016, to win a sixth consecutive game. He is 2-2 with a 4.55 ERA against the Reds in five career starts. Cincinnati hopes to have shortstop Zack Cozart back in the lineup after he sat out the Sunday game due to a lingering issue with his left wrist. "We're just trying to pay attention to it," Price said. "He should be good to go (Monday). We're pretty optimistic about that. Just paying attention to fact that it has been bothering him a little bit, and we're addressing that." The Reds have won or split 11 of the past 19 series with the Indians, including eight of the past 11. It has been a different story the past two seasons, however, with the Indians winning five of six in 2015 and all four games last year en route to the American League pennant. The Indians hope to get some good news on Monday as well with ace Corey Kluber set to throw a bullpen session. If all goes well, he would make a rehab start on Thursday. He landed on the 10-day disabled list on May 3 due to a lower back strain. Cleveland's offense is getting hot just in time to face in-state rival Cincinnati. Yan Gomes went 2-for-3 with a double, a homer and five RBIs on Sunday to help complete the sweep of the Astros. "It's nice to have him in a spot where he's dangerous," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "He feels good about himself. Today was one of those days. If you can get a couple guys doing that, it really helps." |
