Manager: Brian Snitker (second season)
Who's new? 2B Brandon Phillips, 2B Micah Johnson, C Kurt Suzuki, IF/OF Sean Rodriguez, SP Bartolo Colon, SP R.A. Dickey, SP Jaime Garcia
Who's gone? OF Mallex Smith, C A.J. Pierzynski, RHP Chris Withrow, RHP Ryan Weber
Projected lineup: CF Ender Inciarte (.291, 3 HR, 29 RBI, 16 SB), SS Dansby Swanson (.302, 3, 17), 1B Freddie Freeman (.302, 34, 91), LF Matt Kemp (.280, 12, 39 with Padres and Braves), RF Nick Markakis (.269, 13, 89), 2B Brandon Phillips (.291, 11, 64, 14 SB), 3B Adonis Garcia (.273, 14, 65), C Tyler Flowers (.270, 8, 41)
Rotation: RH Julio Teheran (7-10, 3.21), RH Bartolo Colon (15-8, 3.43 with Mets), LH Jaime Garcia (10-13, 4.67 with Cardinals), RH R.A. Dickey (10-15, 4.46 with Blue Jays), RH Mike Foltynewicz (9-5, 4.31)
Key relievers: RH Jim Johnson (2-6, 3.06 ERA, 20/23 SV), RH Arodys Vizcaino (1-4, 4.42, 10/14 SV), RH Mauricio Cabrera (5-1, 2.82), LH Ian Krol (2-0, 3.18), RH Jose Ramirez (2-2, 3.58), RH Josh Collmenter (1-0, 4.84 with Diamondbacks)
Hot spots: Second base and rotation. Phillips, acquired from the Reds in February, is a placeholder for prospect Ozzie Albies at second base. Albies, 20, won the Double-A Southern League batting title in 2016 and is a potential September call-up at least. The rotation is in a similar state of transition, but it's more complicated. Veterans Teheran, Colon, Dickey and Garcia have jobs for now. Youngsters Foltynewicz, Aaron Blair, Matt Wisler, Lucas Sims and Sean Newcomb are pushing to seize long-term spots.
Outlook: In the inaugural season at SunTrust Park, the Braves will try to crack .500 for the first time since 2013. Their rebuilding work isn't finished, but the front office added about $30 million in salary over the winter. That ought to be enough to make the Braves watchable again. Now, the veterans trying to extend their careers in Atlanta (Colon, Dickey, Phillips, Kemp) are almost as intriguing as the prospects. The sight of 23-year-old shortstop Swanson backing up 40-something pitchers Colon and Dickey could be something special. | | SAN FRANCISCO: 2016: 87-75, second place
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. |
| | Giants RHP Cueto seeking bounce-back effort versus Braves
SAN FRANCISCO -- The injury-plagued San Francisco Giants hope they can put one potential issue behind them when Johnny Cueto takes the mound to face the Atlanta Braves in the finale of a three-game series on Sunday afternoon. Cueto is coming off a career-worst, three-home run allowance against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, an effort the veteran blamed on a second blister that had sprouted on his right hand during a between-starts session in St. Louis. Cueto had been expected to help fill the void created by Madison Bumgarner's separated shoulder. But after winning four of his first six starts, he hasn't won any of his last four, including the most recent two in which he's been pounded for nine runs and 13 hits in 12 innings. "It's not a case where we're pushing it," Giants manager Bruce Bochy claimed, insisting Cueto wouldn't be pitching Sunday if he weren't close to 100 percent. "He wants to pitch and he's battling it. He hasn't quite gotten over it." The Giants could help ease their starter's pain with another offensive effort like the one that produced a 6-3 win over the Braves on Saturday night. The nine-hit attack featured a pair of home runs, including a two-run shot by backup catcher Nick Hundley that was just the Giants' eighth of the season with at least one man aboard. Home runs have traditionally been a problem for Braves right-hander R.A. Dickey, who gets the call with Atlanta having a chance to win the series. The Braves took the opener of the three-game set 2-0 Friday night behind left-hander Jaime Garcia's gem. Dickey has allowed 24 or more home runs in five consecutive seasons. He appears well on his way to making it six straight, having been bombed for 11 already this year. Dickey is 2-1 with a 2.88 ERA in five career starts against the Giants. He's allowed just three homers in those games, one to Brandon Belt, who contributed a solo shot to Saturday's win, and two others to reserve outfielders (Gorkys Hernandez and Justin Ruggiano) who might not even play Sunday. Like Cueto, Dickey has struggled of late, having gone winless in his last four starts. The knuckleballer was last seen giving up 11 hits in six innings in a 6-5 win over Pittsburgh in which both teams finished with 15 hits. After watching his team struggle offensively in Saturday's loss to Giants left-hander Ty Blach, Braves manager Brian Snitker admitted he was looking forward to seeing a righty on Sunday. "That's only the fourth (lefty) starter we've faced all year," Snitker observed. "Guys like that can give you trouble. We haven't seen that." Cueto has just a 1-3 lifetime record and 3.86 ERA in seven starts against Atlanta. The Braves had entered Saturday's game on a nice offensive role. They'd won 10 of their previous 15 games by averaging 5.0 runs per contest. Atlanta had clubbed 49 extra-base hits over that 15-game stretch, then got a triple from Danny Santana and a double from Matt Kemp in Saturday's loss to raise the number to 51. The Braves haven't lost any of their last five series, winning three and splitting a pair. |
