| | | KANSAS CITY: 2016: 81-81, third place.
Manager: Ned Yost (eighth season).
He's Here: OF Jorge Soler, RHP Jason Hammel, RHP Nathan Karns, DH Brandon Moss, LHP Travis Wood.
He's Outta Here: RHP Wade Davis, DH Kendrys Morales, OF Jarrod Dyson, RHP Luke Hochevar, RHP Edinson Volquez.
Projected lineup: SS Alcides Escobar (.261, 7 HRs, 55 RBIs), LF Alex Gordon (.220, 17, 40), CF Lorenzo Cain (.287, 9, 56), 1B Eric Hosmer (.266, 25, 104), DH Brandon Moss (.255, 28, 67), RF Jorge Soler (.238, 12, 31 with Cubs; likely to start season on DL with strained oblique), 3B Mike Moustakas (.240, 7, 13), C Salvador Perez (.247, 22, 64), Raul Mondesi (.185, 2, 13).
Rotation: LH Danny Duffy (12-3, 3.51 ERA, 188 Ks), RH Ian Kennedy (11-11, 3.68, 184 Ks), RH Jason Hammel (11-11, 3.83 with Cubs), LH Jason Vargas (0-0, 2.25 in 3 starts after returning from Tommy John surgery), RH Nathan Karns (6-2, 5.15 with Mariners).
Key relievers: RH Kelvin Herrera (2-6, 2.75, 12 saves), RH Joakim Soria (5-8, 4.05), LH Matt Strahm (2-2, 1.23), LH Travis Wood (4-0, 2.95), LH Scott Alexander (0-0, 3.32), RH Chris Young (3-9, 6.19).
Hot Spot: Starting Rotation. Duffy showed signs of blossoming into an ace late last year, but is yet to put it all together for a full season. Hammel was signed after the tragic death of RHP Yordano Ventura in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Vargas barely pitched last season after coming back from elbow surgery. Karns has intriguing potential, but might end up in the bullpen unless he lives up to it quickly.
Outlook: Royals GM Dayton Moore thinks his starting rotation is the best it has been during his tenure, even if just about every spot is tenuous. He also thinks Kansas City has more power at the plate this year thanks to Moustakas' return from a torn ACL and the signing of Moss. Paulo Orlando (.302, 5, 43, 14 SBs) will replace Soler in right field at the start of the season. But there are plenty of question marks up and down the lineup, not to mention on the pitching staff, and several things must break right for Kansas City to make noise in the AL Central and take a run at its third World Series appearance in four years. | | NY YANKEES: 2016: 84-78, fourth place
Manager: Joe Girardi (10th season)
Who's new? 1B/DH Chris Carter, 1B/LF/DH Matt Holliday, RHP Aroldis Chapman
Who's gone? 1B Mark Teixeira, C Brian McCann, RHP Nate Eovaldi, RHP Kirby Yates, RHP Anthony Swarzak, RHP Nick Goody, RHP Blake Parker
Projected lineup: LF Brett Gardner (.261, 7 HR, 41 RBI, 16 SB), CF Jacoby Ellsbury (.263, 9, 56, 20), C Gary Sanchez (.299, 20, 42 in 53 games), DH Matt Holliday (.246, 20, 62 with Cardinals), 1B Greg Bird (did not play in 2016), 2B Starlin Castro (.270, 21, 70), 3B Chase Headley (.253, 14, 51), RH Aaron Judge (.179, 4, 10 in 27 games) or Aaron Hicks (.217, 8, 31), SS Tyler Wade (.259, 5, 27 at Double-A) or Ronald Torreyes (.258, 1, 12)
Rotation: RH Masahiro Tanaka (14-4, 3.07), LH C.C. Sabathia (9-12, 3.91), RH Michael Pineda (6-12, 4.82), RH Luis Severino (3-8, 5.83), RH Chad Green (2-4, 4.73) or RH Adam Warren (4-2, 3.26) or RH Luis Cessa (4-4, 4.35) or RH Bryan Mitchell (1-2, 3.24 in five games)
Key relievers: LH Aroldis Chapman (4-1, 1.55, 36/39 SV), RH Dellin Betances (3-6, 3.08), RH Tyler Clippard (3-6, 3.57), LH Tommy Layne (2-0, 3.38), LH Chasen Shreve (2-1, 5.18)
Hot spots: Fifth starter and right field. The starter's competition is not urgent ' the Yankees have five off-days in the first month of the season ' but it's interesting nonetheless. Green, Cessa, Warren and Mitchell combined to make 22 major league starts last season. None had an outstanding spring training, so the Yankees might choose to divide the load again. Some will go to Triple-A, others to the bullpen. Someone named Aaron (Judge or Hicks) will be the Yankees' right fielder this season. If either falters, Tyler Austin or Rob Refsnyder could seize their at-bats.
Outlook: The Yankees will employ fewer past-their-prime position players in 2017 than any season this decade. Is their next generation of homegrown talent ready to take over? Sanchez is the most advanced prospect ' the catcher hit 20 home runs in 53 games as a rookie ' but beyond him lies several question marks. Greg Bird, Clint Frazier, Gleyber Torres, Judge and Austin (who was stalled in camp by a foot injury) will get a chance once they're ready. The pitching staff is led by Tanaka and the ferocious bullpen combo of Chapman, Betances and Clippard. But depth is a real question mark, and there are no blue-chip prospects at Triple-A waiting for their moment. |
| | Royals look to continue power surge vs. Yankees
NEW YORK -- Home runs and the Royals don't necessarily go together based on past seasons, but this season, Kansas City is putting pitches over the fence more frequently. After tying a season high with four home runs, the Royals are up to 13 homers through the first half of a 10-game road trip. They look to add to that figure Wednesday night in the third game of a four-game series with the New York Yankees. Kansas City (19-26) has 52 homers, which is 16 fewer than the Yankees. The Royals are on a pace to get 187, which would shatter the mark set by the 1987 team that was led by Danny Tartabull's 34. Still, it isn't adding up to consistent wins. The 6-2 victory Tuesday at Yankee Stadium was only Kansas City's third in the past eight games since the Royals got to 16-21 on May 12. Lorenzo Cain snapped an 0-for-14 skid with a home run off Jordan Montgomery. Jorge Bonifacio hit his fourth homer in five games, Whit Merrifield homered to extend his hitting streak to nine games, and Mike Moustakas hit his 11th home run. "It was nice," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "You don't have to manufacture runs when you can put some swings like that on the board and get some runs." The Yankees (26-17) are 5-8 in their last 13 games following a six-game winning streak from May 2-8. They will be looking to rebound after their bullpen faltered Tuesday, though New York did get solo home runs from Aaron Hicks and Chris Carter. "That's a good team over there, and they can swing it," New York catcher Austin Romine said of the Royals. "I don't think they gave up one at-bat all night. They grinded a lot of at-bats out. That's just how it falls sometimes." After Danny Duffy pitched seven solid innings Tuesday, Jason Hammel (1-5, 6.20 ERA) will look to end a seven-game road winless skid when he faces the Yankees for the second consecutive start. Since beating Milwaukee as a member of the Chicago Cubs on July 22, Hammel is 0-6 with a 9.28 on the road. This season, he is 0-2 with a 7.20 ERA outside of Kansas City. Hammel is 4-5 with a 4.98 ERA in 20 outings against the Yankees. In Kansas City's 7-1 loss on May 16, he allowed five runs and nine hits in six innings. The right-hander has lasted at least six innings in every start, but he struggles in the latter portion of his outings. In the first two innings, opponents are 14-for-59 (.237) off him, but after that, opponents are hitting .364 (40-for-110). Hammel has only allowed six home runs this season, but four came in his past two outings. He allowed homers to Logan Morrison and Rickie Weeks on May 10, and last week he served up homers to New York's Carter and Gary Sanchez. "The last two starts have been homers that have really hurt me," Hammel said. "The Tampa game I gave up two homers there, and that's four runs. It's frustrating." New York right-hander Luis Severino (2-2, 3.64 ERA) will face the Royals for the first time. Severino is 4-5 with a 3.03 ERA in 15 appearances (12 starts) when facing an opponent for the first time. The right-hander has struggled to give the Yankees distance in the last two starts. In those outings, he has allowed four runs and 11 hits in 7 1/3 innings while throwing 166 pitches. "I struggled in the first inning," Severino said of his start against Tampa Bay on Friday. "I threw a lot of pitches. I think it was a bit of a battle tonight to keep myself in the game. I wanted to go seven innings, but I didn't get there." |
