Manager: Clint Hurdle (seventh season)
Who's new? RHP Daniel Hudson, IF Phil Gosselin
Who's gone? IF Sean Rodriguez, OF Matt Joyce, SP Jeff Locke, SP Ryan Vogelsong, RP Neftali Feliz, C Eric Fryer
Projected lineup: 2B Josh Harrison (.283, 4 HR, 59 RBI, 19 SB), 1B Josh Bell (.273, 3, 19), RF Andrew McCutchen (.256, 24, 79), CF Starling Marte (.311, 9, 46, 47 SB), LF Gregory Polanco (.258, 22, 86), 3B Jung-ho Kang (.255, 21, 62), C Francisco Cervelli (.264, 1, 33), SS Jordy Mercer (.256, 11, 59)
Rotation: RH Gerrit Cole (7-10, 3.88 ERA), RH Ivan Nova (12-8, 4.17 for Yankees and Pirates), RH Jameson Taillon (5-4, 3.38), RH Chad Kuhl (5-4, 4.20), RH Drew Hutchison (1-0, 5.25 with Blue Jays and Pirates) or Steven Brault (0-3, 4.86) or Trevor Williams (1-1, 7.82) or Tyler Glasnow (0-2, 4.24)
Key relievers: LH Tony Watson (2-5, 3.06, 15/20 SV), RH Daniel Hudson (3-2, 5.22 with Diamondbacks), LH Felipe Rivero (1-6, 4.09 for Nationals and Pirates), RH Juan Nicasio (10-7, 4.50), LH Antonio Bastardo (3-0, 4.52 with Mets and Pirates), RH Jared Hughes (1-1, 3.03), LH Wade LeBlanc (4-0, 3.77 with Mariners and Pirates)
Hot spots: Rotation and closer. Right-hander Glasnow, 23, is a consensus top-25 prospect who made his major league debut last year. The Pirates would love to see him seize the fifth starter's job in camp, but right-hander Hutchison offers a more experienced option if Glasnow isn't ready. Watson became the closer after Mark Melancon was traded to Washington last summer, but his sinker/slider/changeup mix isn't typical ninth-inning stuff. Keep an eye on Rivero, a 25-year-old lefty acquired in the Melancon trade. His fastball actually gained velocity as last season wore on, eventually touching triple digits. Rivero might begin the season as the set-up man but his ascension to the ninth inning seems inevitable.
Outlook: The Pirates made some interesting tweaks after missing the playoffs for the first time in four years. They made no major trades, signed only two major league free agents (pitchers Nova and Hudson) and revamped Hurdle's coaching staff. They also moved their outfielders around: McCutchen goes from center to right, Marte from left to center, and Polanco from right to left. McCutchen is coming off the worst season of his career. So is ace right-hander Cole. The path back to the playoffs begins with the two stars bouncing back. If the team's other homegrown talent ' Taillon, Glasnow, Bell and Polanco ' continue their evolution, Pittsburgh should return to the postseason in 2017. | | ST LOUIS: 2016: 86-76, second place
Manager: Mike Matheny (sixth season)
Who's new? OF Dexter Fowler, C Eric Fryer, LH Brett Cecil
Who's gone? 1B Brandon Moss, OF Matt Holliday, OF Jeremy Hazelbaker, RHP Jaime Garcia, RHP Seth Maness, RHP Jerome Williams
Projected lineup: CF Dexter Fowler (.276, 13 HR, 48 RBI, 13 SB with Cubs), SS Aledmys Diaz (.300, 17, 65), 1B Matt Carpenter (.271, 21, 68), RF Stephen Piscotty (.273, 22, 85), C Yadier Molina (.307, 8, 58), 3B Jedd Gyorko (.243, 30, 59), 2B Kolten Wong (.240, 5, 23), LF Randal Grichuk (.240, 24, 68)
Rotation: RH Carlos Martinez (16-9, 3.04 ERA), RH Adam Wainwright (13-9, 4.62), RH Mike Leake (9-12, 4.69), RH Michael Wacha (7-7, 5.09), RH Lance Lynn (did not pitch - Tommy John surgery)
Key relievers: RH Seung-hwan Oh (6-3, 1.92 ERA 19/23 SV), LH Kevin Siegrist (6-3, 2.77), RH Trevor Rosenthal (2-4, 4.46, 14/18 SV), LH Brett Cecil (1-7, 3.93 with Blue Jays), RH Jonathan Broxton (4-2, 4.30), RH Matt Bowman (2-5, 3.46), RH Miguel Socolovich (1-0, 2.00)
Hot spots: Rotation. The back end looked like a big leap of faith when spring training began. Wainwright and Wacha are coming off their worst seasons. Another 2013 World Series mainstay, Lynn, didn't pitch last season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Then, on the first day of camp, 22-year-old right-hander Alex Reyes learned he needed Tommy John himself. That leaves a lot of question marks after ace Martinez ' more than any Cardinals staff has faced in years.
Outlook: This 40-man roster hints at a team in transition. Venerable 34-year-old catcher Molina is still St. Louis' biggest star. Reyes' injury hurts the youth movement, but the Cardinals are still stacked with talented 20-something sluggers ' Piscotty, Diaz, Gyorko and Grichuk ' who could emerge as household names. Adding Fowler's speed and patience should complement an already deep lineup. The pitching staff is a different matter. Barring a big resurgence from Wainwright, Lynn and Wacha (or a big trade) it's hard to see the Cardinals contending for more than a wild card spot in the Cubs' shadow. |
| | Pirates in position for sweep of Cardinals
ST. LOUIS -- For the Pittsburgh Pirates, Sunday night's game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium will be their 76th out of 162. But it also represents a chance for them to finish a winning road trip with a sweep of their National League Central rivals that could possibly move them a step closer to first place in a division where no one has ran off and hid like the Chicago Cubs did last year. "We were able to win the series today," Pittsburgh second baseman Josh Harrison said after Saturday night's 7-3 decision over St. Louis. "A sweep would be nice. But the game yesterday, the game today, they don't matter. "Tomorrow's game is a separate entity. We've got to come in tomorrow, try to get the win and the sweep." Harrison was a big part of the Pirates' ability to position themselves for a sweep. He went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs, doubling and scoring in the first and then belting a solo homer in the fifth. Harrison added a painful RBI an inning later when he was plunked by a John Brebbia fastball, giving him 26 for the year to go along with 26 extra-base hits, a .294 average and a nice OPS of .837. "He creates a wake, a positive wake out there," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said of Harrison. "He has been really good from the start of the year until now. He's been fun to watch." Hurdle hopes that starting pitcher Chad Kuhl (2-6, 5.46 ERA) is just as enjoyable to eyeball in the series finale. Kuhl's recent uptick in velocity hasn't necessarily translated into improved results, although he did bag a 7-3 win Tuesday night in Milwaukee. In that outing, Kuhl gave up seven hits and two runs in five innings, walking two and fanning six. He has made three starts in his young career against the Cardinals (33-40), going 0-2 with a 4.85 ERA. One of those losses occurred April 18 when Kuhl pitched well enough to win but absorbed a 2-1 setback to the man who will oppose him in this game, St. Louis right-hander Mike Leake. That was part of a scintillating beginning to the season that landed Leake atop the league's ERA chart into early June, but Leake (5-6, 3.03) has lost four straight decisions. He hasn't won a game since May 24 at the Los Angeles Dodgers. But Leake is at least coming off a quality start, giving up only one run in six innings on Tuesday night in a no-decision at Philadelphia. And he does have a track record of success against the Pirates (35-40), going 10-5 with a 3.29 ERA in 29 career starts. The Cardinals need every good omen they can get these days. They've lost three straight and are 12-25 in their last 37 games, falling from first place into fourth in the division. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny, looking for any positive he can find, said after Saturday night's loss that it was one of his team's better defensive games of the year. "Overall, except for a baserunning mistake, the guys played well," he said. |
