Manager: Rick Renteria (first season).
He's Here: RHP Lucas Giolito, INF Yoan Moncada, LHP Derek Holland, RHP Reynaldo Lopez, C Geovany Soto, OF Peter Bourjos.
He's Outta Here: Manager Robin Ventura, LHP Chris Sale, OF Adam Eaton, OF Austin Jackson, DH Justin Morneau, C Alex Avila, RHP Matt Albers.
Projected lineup: CF Leury Garcia (.229, 1, 5 in 18 games, 48 ABs; .313, 6, 35, 18 SBs in 84 games at Triple-A Charlotte) or Jacob May (.266, 1, 24, 19 SBs in 83 games at Triple-A Charlotte), SS Tim Anderson (.283, 9, 30), LF Melky Cabrera (.296, 14, 86), 1B Jose Abreu (.293, 25, 100), 3B Todd Frazier (.225, 40, 98), RF Avisail Garcia (.245, 12, 51), DH Matt Davidson (missed much of last season with broken right foot), C Omar Narvaez (.267, 1, 10), 2B Tyler Saladino (.282, 8, 38).
Rotation: LH Jose Quintana (13-12, 3.20 ERA), RH Miguel Gonzalez (5-8, 3.73), LH Derek Holland (7-9, 4.95 ERA in 22 games with Texas), RH James Shields (6-19, 5.85 in 33 starts with Padres and White Sox), LH Carlos Rodon (9-10, 4.04).
Key relievers: RH David Robertson (5-3, 3.47, 37/44 saves), RH Nate Jones (5-3, 2.29, 3 saves), LH Dan Jennings (4-3, 2.08), RH Zach Putnam (1-0, 2.30), RH Michael Ynoa (1-0, 3.00).
Hot Spot: Triple-A Charlotte. With Giolito, Lopez and Moncada likely to begin the season in Triple-A, many White Sox fans might keep a closer watch on the Knights than the big league club. The development of the franchise's suddenly rich minor league system will help determine the trajectory of Chicago's new rebuilding project.
Outlook: Lots of losses and trades. Quintana and Frazier likely will be shipped out at some point this season, and Robertson also could be on the move in the right deal. The White Sox seem fully committed to a major overhaul, and they added several prospects when they traded away Sale and Eaton over the winter. But it could be a rough couple of years while general manager Rick Hahn tries to establish a more reliable pipeline of talent throughout the organization. In the meantime, the White Sox still have Anderson, who was impressive in his first major league stint last year. Abreu is going for his fourth straight season of at least 25 homers and 100 RBIs. | | ARIZONA: 2016: 69-93, fourth place

Hot spots: Rotation and catcher. The Diamondbacks' rotation was atrocious in 2016, ranking 29th in MLB in ERA. But hey, maybe it wasn't all their fault. In his first year as general manager, Mike Hazen installed a 'pitching strategist' (Dan Haren) and three new catchers (former Angels Iannetta, Mathis and Hank Conger). Meanwhile, nine of the 10 pitchers who started a game for the Diamondbacks last year remain in the organization. It's a bold experiment in how to fix a pitching staff. Iannetta and Mathis can frame all the borderline pitches they want. At some point, the onus will fall on Greinke, Ray, Miller, Corbin and newcomer Walker to perform to their potential.
Outlook: It wasn't long ago that Arizona spent $206 million to coax Greinke to defect from the Dodgers. Now the Diamondbacks feel like a team on the brink of a complete rebuild. Even without Jean Segura, who led the National League in hits, the lineup will score enough to keep Arizona competitive. But what to make of the pitching staff? The rotation beyond Greinke could be anywhere from awesome to abysmal. The ninth inning belongs to 39-year-old Rodney and, if he fails, a who's-who list of failed former closers: Wilhelmsen, Jepsen or J.J. Hoover. The farm system is in poor shape. If things get worse before they get better, Greinke could be the first player traded. |
| | D-backs' Delgado gets spot start against White Sox
PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks have a "problem" that seems like a luxury: Their relief pitchers, much like the Maytag repairman, haven't had much to do lately. That's because their starters have been pitching deep into games. The pattern will change Wednesday afternoon when the Diamondbacks play host to the Chicago White Sox, looking to sweep the three-game interleague series. Arizona will start Randall Delgado (1-0, 4.05 ERA), who has been their long reliever, because Taijuan Walker is on the disabled list due to a blister problem. Delgado, who has never faced the White Sox, has allowed just one earned run over his past seven games (0.63 ERA in 14 1/3 innings). "We felt like he was going to be the most prepared guy for that moment," D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. "He's had some extended outings, and he's been throwing the ball very, very well." Delgado is likely to throw fewer than 90 pitches, with Lovullo expecting him to get through at least four innings. "We want to see that. If he can give us more, he can give us more," the manager said. Then it's on to the little-used bullpen. "I'm confident even though those guys aren't getting consistent work, they're going to be ready," Lovullo said. "They know their roles. They know the reasons they're not getting work. Unfortunately, we just don't have those innings right now for the bullpen right now because our starters have been so exceptional." One possible candidate to throw in relief is Archie Bradley (1-0, 1.29), who has been so dominant for the D-backs that he could be an All Star candidate. In 21 innings, he has struck out 27 and walked just five. Opponents are hitting just .174 against him. Bradley relieved starter Zack Greinke with two out in the ninth in the D-backs' 5-1 win Monday night. It took him just one pitch to end the game. He threw 10 pitches Tuesday night in recording three outs. Otherwise, he has thrown only two innings since May 9. "There's a buzz when he comes into a game," Lovullo said. "We all feel that." Yet, because he has thrown in back-to-back games (albeit only 11 pitches), Lovullo said he would check with Bradley to see if the 24-year-old felt strong enough to go again Wednesday. The D-backs will need a fifth starter again Monday, the 10th day on Walker's 10-day stint on the DL. They will not pitch a starter on three days' rest -- Robbie Ray in this case -- so, "We are walking through a lot of different scenarios," Lovullo said. The White Sox will counter with Jose Quintana (2-5, 3.92), who has given them six quality starts in his nine outings. He allowed one hit and one run while striking out seven in an eight-inning no-decision Friday at Seattle, a game Chicago won in 10 innings. Quintana lost his first four starts but has given up only nine earned runs in his past 34 innings, a 2.38 ERA. He lost his only career start vs. Arizona, giving up three runs in six innings of a 4-3 defeat in Chicago on May 10, 2014. "He's been continually attacking the zone; that's who he is," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. "He gives you innings. He gives you strikes. He minimizes damage when he can." Though skeptics will point to Quintana's record, Renteria said, "I will say again that part of it is our fault. We haven't given him a lot of run support. If you can keep a club down to two or three runs a game, that's pretty good at the major league level." The Diamondbacks won the first two games of the series 5-1 and 5-4. The White Sox fell Tuesday despite hitting three homers. |
