Manager: Mike Scioscia (18th season)
Who's new? C Martin Maldonado, 2B Danny Espinosa, INF Luis Valbuena, OF Ben Revere, OF Cameron Maybin, RHP Jesse Chavez, RHP Austin Adams, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Who's gone? C Jett Bandy, C Geovany Soto, C Juan Graterol, OF Gregorio Petit, OF Rafael Ortega, RHP Jered Weaver, LHP C.J. Wilson, RHP Jhoulys Chacin, RHP Tim Lincecum, RHP Cory Rasmus, LHP Brett Oberholtzer
Projected lineup: 3B Yunel Escobar (.304, 5 HR, 39 RBI), RF Kole Calhoun (.271, 18, 75), CF Mike Trout (.315, 29, 100, 30 SB), DH Albert Pujols (.268, 31, 119), 1B C.J. Cron (.278, 16, 69) or Luis Valbuena (.260, 13, 40 in 90 games with Astros), LF Cameron Maybin (.315, 4, 43, 15 SB with Tigers), 2B Danny Espinosa (.209, 24, 72 with Nationals), SS Andrelton Simmons (.281, 4, 44, 10 in 124 games), C Martin Maldonado (.202, 8, 21 with Brewers) or Carlos Perez (.209, 5, 31)
Rotation: RH Garrett Richards (1-3, 2.34 in six starts), RH Matt Shoemaker (9-13, 3.88), LH Tyler Skaggs (3-4, 4.17), RH Ricky Nolasco (8-14, 4.42 with Twins and Angels), RH Jesse Chavez (2-2, 4.43 with Blue Jays and Dodgers) or RH Bud Norris (6-10, 5.10 for Braves and Dodgers)
Key relievers: RH Huston Street (3-2, 6.45, 9/12 SV), RH Cam Bedrosian (2-0, 1.12), RH Andrew Bailey (3-1, 5.36 6/7 SV for Phillies and Angels), RH J.C. Ramirez (2-1, 2.91), LH Jose Alvarez (1-3, 3.45), RH Austin Adams (0-0, 9.82 with Indians), RH Yusmeiro Petit (3-5, 4.30 with Nationals), RH Mike Morin (2-2, 4.37)
Hot spots: First base and fifth starter. Pujols started 23 games at first base last year, and will likely play fewer this year after offseason plantar fascia surgery. For now, Pujols is the primary DH, Cron is the first baseman, and Valbuena will begin the season on the DL with a strained hamstring. One problem: neither Cron (.698 OPS) nor Valbuena (.666) could hit lefties last year. The top candidates for fifth starter are similarly flawed. Chavez and Norris finished last season as relievers. Alex Meyer has six major league starts to his name. The Angels might need all of them at points in 2017.
Outlook: It's hard to be too optimistic about a team that's made one playoff appearance in seven years. Yet it's hard to be too pessimistic considering the hard-luck injuries that decimated the Angels in 2016, particularly on the pitching side. Still, 2017 figures to be a transition year. The back of the rotation is a patch job until Tommy John patients Andrew Heaney and Nick Tropeano return from rehab. The Angels will gain some financial freedom after the season, when Josh Hamilton finally comes off the books. Any positive momentum in the meantime would make Anaheim a more attractive destination for free agents. Getting back above .500 would be a realistic step in that direction; anything beyond that is a bonus | | TAMPA BAY: 2016: 68-94, fifth place
Manager: Kevin Cash (third season)
Who's new? OF Colby Rasmus, OF/1B Rickie Weeks Jr., RHP Tommy Hunter, RHP Jumbo Diaz, C Wilson Ramos, C Derek Norris, OF Mallex Smith, RHP Jose De Leon, RHP Shawn Tolleson
Who's gone? 2B Logan Forsythe, IF/OF Steve Pearce, OF Desmond Jennings, OF Mikie Mahtook, C Hank Conger, IF/OF Taylor Motter, C Bobby Wilson, LHP Drew Smyly, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Steve Geltz, LHP Dana Eveland, RHP Kevin Jepsen, RHP Tyler Sturdevant, RHP Dylan Floro
Projected lineup: DH Corey Dickerson (.245, 24, 70), CF Kevin Kiermaier (.246, 12, 37, 21 SB), 3B Evan Longoria (.273, 36, 98), 2B Brad Miller (.243, 30, 81), RF Steven Souza (.247, 17, 49), LF Colby Rasmus (.206, 15, 54 with Astros), SS Tim Beckham (.247, 5, 16), 1B Logan Morrison (.238, 14, 43), C Curt Casali (.186, 8, 25)
Rotation: RH Chris Archer (9-19, 4.02 ERA), RH Jake Odorizzi (10-6, 3.69), RH Alex Cobb (1-2, 8.59 in five starts), LH Blake Snell (6-8, 3.54), RH Matt Andriese (8-8, 4.37)
Key relievers: RH Alex Colome (2-4, 1.91, 37/40 SV), RH Tommy Hunter (2-2, 3.18 with Indians), RH Danny Farquhar (1-0, 3.06), LH Xavier Cede'o (3-4, 3.70), RH Erasmo Ramirez (7-11, 3.77), RH Jumbo Diaz (1-1, 3.14), RH Chase Whitley (0-0, 2.51)
Hot spots: Shortstop and catcher. Tim Beckham and the combination of Curt Casali and newly signed Derek Norris are holding down the fort while Matt Duffy and Wilson Ramos recover from injuries. Beckham and Casali or Norris can at least try to make the situation awkward by hitting. That wasn't their strong suit last year, but the Rays will need someone to bat eighth and ninth while Ramos (knee surgery; out until July) and Duffy (Achilles surgery; out until May) heal.
Outlook: How do you fix a team that ranked eighth in the AL in ERA and 14th in runs scored? If you're the Rays, you trade away your second-best hitter (Forsythe) for a pitcher who will start the season in Triple-A (De Leon), then sign an outfielder with a .641 OPS (Rasmus) to be your second-highest paid player. Expectations for a team with the third-lowest payroll in the game shouldn't be high to begin with. Getting Duffy and Ramos back from the DL will help, but not enough to slow rumors of Archer, Cobb and Odorizzi getting traded if they pitch well. |
| | Angels continue road trip at resurgent Rays
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays, winners of their last three series, will welcome the Los Angeles Angels to Tropicana Field for a four-game series starting Monday. The Angels (23-23) are in the second stage of a 10-game road trip after losing two of three in a weekend series against the New York Mets. They were able to salvage the series finale by hitting four home runs in a 12-5 win at Citi Field on Sunday. The Rays (23-23) have climbed back to .500 and are in the thick of the American League East race after winning six of their past nine games. They have found recent success as a power-hitting team, crushing 13 home runs in the past six games and getting offense throughout the lineup. Tampa Bay beat the New York Yankees on Friday and Saturday before falling 3-2 on Sunday. "When you win two games, you want to win the third," Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. "I'm the last person that needs to say that, they know that. But we're playing good baseball right now, there's no doubt about it." Right hander Jake Odorizzi will try to continue a recent run of quality starts from Rays pitchers. In his latest outing, he earned a win against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday, throwing six innings of four-run ball. Odorizzi (3-2, 3.16 ERA) has struggled in his four career starts against the Angels, going 0-3 with a 6.98 ERA. Perennial MVP candidate Mike Trout is 4-for-6 against Odorizzi, and he is not alone. Ben Revere (4-for-6) and Andrelton Simmons (4-for-7, five RBIs) also have given the right-hander difficulty. Trout is batting .362 (17-for-47) with four home runs and 10 RBIs at Tropicana Field "He's the best player in the game. Period," Odorizzi told MLB.com about Trout. "They're a good lineup. Every team is a good lineup here, so we'll find out what they all entail (Monday) when (pitching coach Jim) Hickey talks to us. But before that, I've faced them before, and they're a lot of the same guys. I've just got to go and pitch my game and not make mistakes, and I just need to be efficient with my pitches." The Angels will send right hander JC Ramirez (3-3, 3.97) to the mound. Ramirez is just 1-3 in his past seven starts, but he has been able to go deep into games and has gotten through seven innings in his past two starts. Ramirez didn't factor into the decision in his last start, but he gave up just two runs in seven innings against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. "I used my fastball a lot more," Ramirez said after the game. "I'm pitching for contact now. It's nice to have strikeouts, but it's better when you go deep in the games. I threw seven innings with 85 pitches, and that's really good for me." Ramirez has made two career appearances against the Rays, both in relief, without giving up a run. Angels designated hitter Albert Pujols missed all three games against the Mets with a sore hamstring, and his status for Monday was uncertain. The teams are set to meet for the first time this season. Tampa Bay won the 2016 season series 4-3. |
