Manager: Bruce Bochy (11th season)
Who's new? RHP Mark Melancon, C Nick Hundley, IF Jae-Gyun Hwang
Who's gone? OF Angel Pagan, OF Gregor Blanco, RHP Jake Peavy, RHP Santiago Casilla, RHP Sergio Romo, LHP Javier Lopez
Projected lineup: CF Denard Span (.266, 11 HR, 53 RBI, 12 SB), 1B Brandon Belt (.275, 17 , 82), C Buster Posey (.288, 14, 80), RF Hunter Pence (.289, 13, 57), SS Brandon Crawford (.275, 12, 84), 3B Eduardo Nunez (.288, 16, 67, 40 SBs with Giants and Twins), 2B Joe Panik (.239, 10, 62), LF Jarrett Parker (.236, 5, 14) or Mac Williamson (.223, 6, 15)
Rotation: LH Madison Bumgarner (15-9, 2.74 ERA), RH Johnny Cueto (18-5, 2.79), RH Jeff Samardzija (12-11, 3.81), LH Matt Moore (13-12, 4.08 with Giants and Rays), RH Matt Cain (4-8, 5.64)
Key relievers: RH Mark Melancon (2-2, 1.64, 47/51 SV with Nationals), RH Hunter Strickland (3-3, 3.10), RH Derek Law (4-2, 2.13), LH Steven Okert (0-0, 3.21) or Josh Osich (1-3, 4.71), RH Cory Gearrin (3-2, 4.28), RH George Kontos (3-2, 2.53)
Hot spot: Bullpen and left field. No team blew more saves last year than the Giants. The front office hopes it found the answer by signing three-time All-Star closer Melancon to a (then-record) four-year, $62 million deal, and by cutting ties with Romo and Casilla. They will need to replace Will Smith, a key lefty who tore his UCL in spring training. Veteran outfielder Pagan left after five seasons in San Francisco. Rather than fill his shoes via free agency or trade, the unproven tandem of Williamson and Parker is expected to share time in left.
Outlook: The Giants have an established core of position players, and an enviable 1-2 rotation punch in Bumgarner and Cueto. That's probably why the front office did little in the offseason besides overhaul the back end of the bullpen. Hwang, who hit 26 home runs and drove in 104 last year in Korea, is an intriguing addition to the bench. Mostly the Giants are counting on continuity. Former NL MVP Posey is coming off a below-average season by his standards, and sparkplug Pence missed nearly two months last year with a hamstring injury. Expecting both to bounce back isn't a stretch, and new closer Melancon is as good as they come. At full strength, this Giants team should be able to give the Dodgers a good run. | | CHICAGO CUBS: 2016: 103-58, won World Series
Manager: Joe Maddon (third season)
Who's new? OF Jon Jay, RHP Wade Davis, LHP Brett Anderson, RHP Koji Uehara, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Eddie Butler
Who's gone? OF Dexter Fowler, IF/OF Jorge Soler, LHP Aroldis Chapman, LHP Travis Wood, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jason Hammel
Projected lineup: LF Kyle Schwarber (.000, 0 HR, 0 RBI in two games), 3B Kris Bryant (.292, 39, 102), 1B Anthony Rizzo (.292, 32, 109), 2B Ben Zobrist (.272, 18, 76), SS Addison Russell (.238, 21, 95), RF Jason Heyward (.230, 7, 49, 11 SB), C Willson Contreras (.282, 12, 35), CF Jon Jay (.291, 2, 26 with Padres) or Albert Almora (.277, 3, 14 in 47 games)
Rotation: LH Jon Lester (19-5, 2.44 ERA), RH Jake Arrieta (18-8, 3.10), RH Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13), RH John Lackey (11-8, 3.35), LH Brett Anderson (1-2, 11.91 in four games with Dodgers) or LH Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.52 with Mariners and Cubs) or RH Eddie Butler (2-5, 7.17 with Rockies) or LH Rob Zastryzny (1-0, 1.13 ERA in eight games) or RH Alec Mills (0-0, 13.50 in three games with Royals)
Key relievers: RH Wade Davis (2-1, 1.87, 27/30 SV with Royals), RH Pedro Strop (2-2, 2.85), RH Hector Rondon (2-3, 3.53, 18/23 SV), RH Koji Uehara (2-3, 3.45, 7/9 SV with Red Sox), RH Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1, 3.75), RH Justin Grimm (2-1, 4.10), LH Brian Duensing (1-0, 4.05 with Royals)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter. Of all the candidates vying to replace Hammel, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent, most have plenty of upside but didn't log many innings last year. That includes Anderson, who had one productive season and one unproductive season for the Dodgers. Keep an eye on southpaw Montgomery, who tossed two shutouts as a starter for the Mariners in 2015, came to the Cubs last year in a midseason trade, then was effective as a reliever. Last time he was on the mound, he recorded the save in Game 7 of the World Series.
Outlook: There hasn't been a back-to-back champion this century. For opponents of the Cubs, that might be the most tangible nugget of hope. Most of the key players return from a powerhouse team that played historically good defense, got no fewer than 165 innings from each of its top five starters, and featured a deep lineup led by NL MVP Kris Bryant. In the bullpen, two-time All-Star Davis is capable of replacing closer Chapman if he's healthy. Among the Cubs' regular position players, only Zobrist and new center fielder Jay are over 30 ' everyone else is either entering or in the midst of his prime. This is a strong outlook. |
| | Cubs' Hendricks on a roll as he faces Giants
CHICAGO -- Kyle Hendricks insists he is getting ever closer to last season's superb form, and a steadily dropping earned-run average bears him out. The Chicago Cubs right-hander is scheduled to make his ninth start of the season on Wednesday in the third game of a four-game series with the San Francisco Giants. Hendricks (3-2, 3.35 ERA) will go against Giants left-hander Matt Moore (2-4, 5.37 ERA). Hendricks had a National League-low 2.13 ERA in 2016, but two rough outings last month left him with a 6.19 ERA and a 1-1 record through three starts. In his next five starts, Hendricks allowed seven runs total and made two scoreless efforts while going 2-1 with a 1.82 ERA. "To repeat the year he had last year is tough," Cubs catcher Miguel Montero said after Hendricks' win over the Cincinnati Reds on May 17. "He set the bar very high. We don't expect anything less than that. We got to be realistic, but he's doing a great job right now." The Giants have high expectations for Moore, in his second season with the club after an Aug. 1 trade last year. He spent 5 1/2 seasons at Tampa Bay. He faces the Cubs in the regular season for the first time. Moore tossed eight innings and allowed two runs (one earned) in Game 4 of the 2016 National League Division Series against Chicago and struck out 10. However, he didn't factor in the decision after the bullpen blew a three-run lead in the ninth. In his last outing, Friday at St. Louis, Moore had a quality outing but no decision. He allowed two runs on five hits over six innings, striking out five in the Giants' 6-5 comeback victory. On May 13, he picked up the win in San Francisco's 3-1 victory over the Reds, allowing one run in 7 1/3 innings. "I was just trying to slow myself down where I'm thinking about only the moment I'm in, not about future innings or who's on deck," Moore said after that game. "Just right here, right now." The Giants are making their only 2017 Wrigley Field appearance with this series, but the teams will get back together between Aug. 7-9 for a series at AT&T Park. The Cubs evened the series with a 4-1 win on Tuesday night behind a complete-game four-hitter from Jon Lester. "That's just classic stuff," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "He just kept getting better." The Giants had Lester in trouble in the fifth before Eduardo Nunez was caught stealing second. "We're not going to stop being aggressive," manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle. "We're going to continue to play the game." In three career starts against the Giants, Hendricks is 1-2 with a 4.32 ERA. He faced San Francisco almost exactly a year ago -- May 22, 2016 -- and took a loss despite allowing just one earned run on three hits in 5 1/3 innings. Left-handers are batting .192 and righties .258 against Hendricks. Moore's splits are similarly lopsided: Lefties are hitting .375, righties .250. |
