Manager: John Gibbons (10th season)
Who's new? 1B/DH Kendrys Morales, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, IF/OF Steve Pearce, IF Lourdes Gurriel, LHP J.P. Howell, RHP Joe Smith
Who's gone? 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion, OF Michael Saunders, C Josh Thole, C Dioner Navarro, OF Junior Lake, RHP R.A. Dickey, LHP Brett Cecil, RHP Joaquin Benoit
Projected lineup: 2B Devon Travis (.300, 11 HR, 50 RBI), 3B Josh Donaldson (.284, 37, 99), RF Jose Bautista (.234, 22, 69), DH Kendrys Morales (.263, 30, 93 with Royals), SS Troy Tulowitzki (.254, 24, 79), C Russell Martin (.231, 20, 74), 1B Justin Smoak (.217, 14, 34), CF Kevin Pillar (.266, 7, 53, 14 SB), LF Ezequiel Carrera (.248, 6, 23)
Rotation: RH Marco Estrada (9-9, 3.48 ERA), LH J.A. Happ (20-4, 3.18), RH Marcus Stroman (9-10, 4.37), RH Aaron Sanchez (15-2, 3.00), LH Francisco Liriano (8-13, 4.69 with Pirates and Blue Jays)
Key relievers: RH Roberto Osuna (4-3, 2.68, 36/42 SV), RH Jason Grilli (6-4, 3.64), RH Joe Biagini (4-3, 3.06), LH J.P. Howell (1-1, 4.09 with Dodgers), RH Joe Smith (1-4, 3.82 with Angels), LH Aaron Loup (0-0, 5.02)
Hot spots: bullpen. The Blue Jays signed only a couple high-profile free agents (retaining Bautista, adding Morales) and brought in many lower-profile veterans mostly to compete for bullpen jobs. Howell and Smith, signed to low-risk deals, are all but guaranteed jobs. But what of Dominic Leone, Mat Latos, Mike Bolsinger, Lucas Harrell and Leonel Campos? Toronto seems to be crowd-sourcing its middle innings with low-risk, right-handed options. Up to a half-dozen pitchers could be competing for one or two jobs.
Outlook: The Blue Jays' roster is enviably balanced, albeit among the older ones in the league. Toronto led the AL in ERA last year. Their entire starting rotation returns, and their veteran bullpen is set up well to support second-year closer Osuna. Ironically, the youngest player in the Jays' starting lineup, 26-year-old Travis, has the biggest health concern of the bunch. He didn't appear in a spring training game until recently because of offseason knee surgery. Encarnacion, who was good for .270/30/100 every year, will be missed. The question now is whether Morales (33), Bautista (36), Tulowitzki (32) and Martin (34) are still close enough to their primes to power another playoff run. | | MILWAUKEE: 2016: 73-89, fourth place
Manager: Craig Counsell (third season)
Who's new? 1B Eric Thames, 3B Travis Shaw, C Jett Bandy, RHP Neftali Feliz, RHP Joba Chamberlain, LHP Tommy Milone
Who's gone? 1B Chris Carter, C Martin Maldonado, OF Rymer Liriano, RHP Tyler Thornburg, RHP Blaine Boyer, LHP Chris Capuano
Projected lineup: 2B Jonathan Villar (.285, 19 HR, 63 RBI, 62 SB), SS Orlando Arcia (.219, 4, 17), LF Ryan Braun (.305, 30, 91, 16), 1B Eric Thames (.317, 40, 118, 13 SBs in Korea), RF Domingo Santana (.256, 11, 32), 3B Travis Shaw (.242, 16, 71 with Red Sox), CF Keon Broxton (.242, 9, 19, 23 SB), C Jett Bandy (.234, 8, 25 with Angels)
Rotation: Junior Guerra (9-3, 2.81 ERA), Zach Davies (11-7, 3.97), Matt Garza (4-8, 4.51), Wily Peralta (7-11, 3.86), Jimmy Nelson (8-16, 4.62) or Chase Anderson (9-11, 4.39) or Tommy Milone (3-5, 5.71 with Twins)
Key relievers: RHP Neftali Feliz (4-2, 3.52 with Pirates), RHP Corey Knebel (1-4, 4.68), RHP Carlos Torres (3-3, 2.73), RHP Jhan Marinez (0-1, 3.22), RHP Joba Chamberlain (0-0, 2.25 with Indians), RHP Jacob Barnes (0-1, 2.70), RHP Tyler Cravy (0-1, 2.86)
Hot spot: Fifth starter. Guerra and Davies began last season in the minors, then emerged as pleasant surprises in an otherwise long season. Now the Brewers have seven candidates for five rotation jobs. Nelson, who's led the staff in innings the last two years, might be wary of his two minor league options if he struggles out of the gate.
Outlook: No team was more active on the bases last season than the Brewers, whose 181 steals were the most by any team since 2009. Villar, Broxton and Hernan Perez were the primary thieves, and all return. The front office curiously chose not to bring back Carter after a 41-home run season. His replacement is Thames, who hasn't had a major league at-bat since 2012. Hitter-friendly Miller Park will do no favors to their pedestrian pitching staff, but the Brewers aren't expected to contend for at least another couple seasons. At least their offense will be entertaining in the meantime. |
| | Blue Jays want to end trip on positive note vs. Brewers
MILWAUKEE -- It hasn't been pretty, but the Toronto Blue Jays have put themselves in a position to wrap up a long road trip on a high note Wednesday afternoon when they take on the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. Toronto dropped one of two in Atlanta and two of three in Baltimore. However, they pulled out a 3-1 victory against the Orioles on Sunday afternoon, then held off the Brewers for a 4-3 win Tuesday night to even their trip record at 3-3. "Any win is good," said right-handed reliever Danny Barnes, who earned his first career victory Tuesday night. Barnes and the bullpen have been a big factor in Toronto's recent success, and they saved the day Tuesday, working 4 2/3 hitless, scoreless innings to preserve a one-run lead. The Jays' bullpen has been put to the test this season, largely because of the growing number of starters to end up on the disabled list. Toronto leads the American League with 163 innings of relief work. "Guys are just cutting their teeth a little bit," Barnes said. "Some people will say we are going to get worn out now, but I honestly think that it's going to help us later on as guys build confidence and get experience. It's only going to help later." A long start Wednesday from Marcus Stroman could help alleviate that workload. Stroman (4-2, 3.00 ERA) worked into the sixth inning in each of his past three starts, and he will be looking to win his fourth consecutive decision. In his only career start versus Milwaukee, the Brewers scored two runs on seven hits off him April 12 in a nine-inning effort that resulted in a loss. Milwaukee counters with right-hander Matt Garza, who has been impressive since returning from the disabled list in late April. Garza (2-0, 2.43 ERA) boasts a 1.11 WHIP through 29 2/3 innings. "He's a little bit unsung in this whole thing so far this year," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "He's pitched very, very well and really solidified that spot. And he just keeps going out there and doing it." The Brewers' brass asked Garza to rely more on his off-speed arsenal during the offseason, and after some shaky results in spring training, the shift in approach has started to pay dividends for the veteran. "I just want to do my job," Garza said. "I just want to keep progressing, keep improving, keep getting better. This is a new style for me. "Just being able to have the confidence in my stuff and myself, and the guys behind me, it's awesome and it really lets a pitcher settle in." Garza is 6-6 with a 2.14 ERA in 13 career starts against the Blue Jays. One of those wins was a shutout. The Brewers' offense will be hoping that Ryan Braun returns to form. The left fielder is 0-for-8 in two games since returning from a 10-day stint on the disabled list caused by nagging leg and arm injuries. "When you hop back in after some time off -- and I think we'd all agree that Ryan is capable of it -- you don't necessarily know how it's going to feel because you haven't had at-bats for 10 days," Counsell said. |
