Manager: Jeff Banister (third season)
Who's new? 1B Mike Napoli, 1B James Loney, INF Will Middlebrooks, RHP Andrew Cashner, RHP Tyson Ross, RHP Mike Hauschild
Who's gone? 1B Mitch Moreland, INF/OF Ian Desmond, OF/DH Carlos Beltran, RHP Derek Holland, RHP Colby Lewis, RHP Shawn Tolleson, RHP Lucas Harrell
Projected lineup: CF Carlos Gomez (.231, 13 HR, 53 RBI, 18 SB in 118 games with Astros and Rangers), DH Shin-Soo Choo (.242, 7, 17, 6 in 48 games), 3B Adrian Beltre (.300, 32, 104), 1B Mike Napoli (.239, 34, 101 with Indians), 2B Rougned Odor (.271, 33, 88, 14 SB), C Jonathan Lucroy (.292, 24, 81 with Brewers and Rangers), RF Nomar Mazara (.266, 20, 64), SS Elvis Andrus (.302, 8, 69, 24 SB), LF Jurickson Profar (.239, 5, 20) or Ryan Rua (.258, 8, 22, 9 SB)
Rotation: LH Cole Hamels (15-5, 3.32 ERA), RH Yu Darvish (7-5, 3.42 in 17 games), LH Martin Perez (10-11, 4.39), RH A.J. Griffin (7-4, 5.07), RH Andrew Cashner (5-11, 5.25 with Padres and Marlins)
Key relievers: RH Sam Dyson (3-2, 2.43, 38/43 SV), RH Matt Bush (7-2, 2.48), RH Jeremy Jeffress (27/28 SV with Brewers and Rangers), RH Tony Barnette (7-3, 2.09), LH Alex Claudio (4-1, 2.79), RH Keone Kela (5-1, 6.09)
Hot spots: Designated hitter and left field. Choo, Napoli and Joey Gallo are all candidates to DH. Gallo, a perennial prospect with prodigious power, can make it interesting by seizing his first-ever Opening Day roster spot. Otherwise Napoli (a first baseman) and Choo (an outfielder) can switch off as needed. Moving Desmond to the outfield was successful enough last year that the Rangers are taking a similar approach with Profar. The oft-injured 24-year-old will try to break camp as a left fielder, platooning with Rua.
Outlook: Coming off back-to-back division titles, the Rangers begin 2017 with a weakened farm system and the footsteps of the Astros and Mariners passing them by ' or at least catching up. There's still a lot to like here. Napoli was a huge bargain on a $6 million contract following his 34-homer season in Cleveland. He'll join Beltre and Odor to form a dangerous middle of the order. Darvish is entering his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, and he and catcher Lucroy are entering their long-awaited walk years. This isn't the deepest roster in the AL but it's capable of winning another division title if its stars can avoid the disabled list. | | 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. |
| | Rangers pursue road series win against Yankees
NEW YORK -- Things are starting to pick up for the Texas Rangers on the road. Meanwhile, things continue to be a struggle for the New York Yankees. The Rangers can get their third straight series victory away from home Sunday afternoon when they conclude a three-game series with the slumping Yankees. Texas is 15-20 so far on the road. In the last 11 road games, it is 7-4. The improvement outside of Arlington is occurring after a nightmarish 6-17 start in those games. Perhaps more impressive for the Rangers is the caliber of opponents. The Rangers took two of three from American League West-leading Houston and swept the National League East-leading Washington Nationals. After an 8-1 victory Saturday afternoon, the Rangers also have won 10 of their last 15 games. Carlos Gomez homered and scored on a wild pitch. In his last eight games since returning from a hamstring injury, Gomez is batting .333 (10-for-30) with six homers and 16 RBIs. "He has been very impressive," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "He is back to the mode of looking for the ball up and driving it. It has been very effective." Elvis Andrus also had an RBI single and is hitting .333 (9-for-27). Adrian Beltre is 36 hits shy of 3,000 after getting two hits Saturday. The pitching is slightly improved in recent games. The Rangers have a 4.20 ERA, but in the last three games their pitchers have allowed six earned runs in 27 2/3 innings. As for the Yankees, they homered in their 13th straight home game and raised their total to 117 when Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 26th homer. Judge is batting .328 and has reached base in 26 straight games. He also is 5-for-20 on this homestand as New York's slump is now nine losses in 11 games after a six-game winning streak. Others are slumping after the Yankees mustered five hits Saturday. Aaron Hicks is in a 2-for-18 skid, Matt Holliday has four hits in his last 27 at-bats, Starlin Castro is 4-for-20 during the homestand and Didi Gregorius is in a 3-for-19 slide. "When we get opportunities, we're not cashing in," Hicks said. Besides the hitting going south, the pitching is spotty at times and no Yankees pitcher is struggling like Tyler Clippard. He allowed four runs in the ninth inning Saturday, making it 11 earned runs in his last seven outings. "We're just not swinging as well as we did before," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "That's the importance of pitching. Hitting's going to come and go at times and that's where pitching allows you to win games." After Yu Darvish struck out 10 in seven innings Friday and Austin Biebens-Dirkx pitched seven sharp innings Saturday, Nick Martinez gets the start for Texas on Sunday. Martinez is 2-3 with a 4.33 ERA in 11 outings (10 starts). He is 1-0 with a 1.72 ERA in his last three appearances and is coming off one of his finest outings. On Tuesday, Martinez held the Toronto Blue Jays to one run and two hits in 6 1/3 innings. He retired 18 of 23 hitters and never allowed multiple baserunners in a 6-1 victory. "I think Nick has handled every situation that we've put him in over the last three years about as good as any pitcher we've had," Banister said. "He takes the ball whenever we ask him to pitch, whether it's out of the bullpen, starting role. He's done a tremendous job." Before joining the Rangers, Martinez played mostly second base at Fordham University in the Bronx. Since joining the Rangers, he has fared well against the Yankees, going 1-1 with a 3.91 ERA in four starts. Martinez was the winning pitcher in a 15-4 Rangers victory in New York on May 23, 2015. Michael Pineda takes a 7-3 record and a 3.56 ERA into Sunday's start and tries to get his first career victory against Texas. He is 0-3 with a 4.35 ERA in five starts vs. the Rangers, including an 0-2 record and 4.26 ERA in three starts at Yankee Stadium against them. Pineda last pitched in an 8-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. He did not get a decision after allowing three runs (one earned) and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. Pineda is one of the AL's top home pitchers with a 6-1 record and a 1.92 ERA in eight starts in New York. |
