Manager: Bud Black (first season)
Who's new? 1B Ian Desmond, IF Alexi Amarista, RHP Greg Holland, LHP Mike Dunn
Who's gone? Manager Walt Weiss, LHP Jorge De La Rosa, RHP Eddie Butler, LHP Boone Logan, C Nick Hundley, IF Daniel Descalso, OF Ryan Raburn
Projected lineup: CF Charlie Blackmon (.324, 29 HR, 82 RBI, 17 SB), 2B D.J. LeMahieu (.348, 11, 66, 11), 3B Nolan Arenado (.294, 41, 133), RF Carlos Gonzalez (.298, 25, 100), 1B Mark Reynolds (.282, 14, 53), LF David Dahl (.315, 7, 24) or Gerardo Parra (.253, 7, 39), SS Trevor Story (.272, 27, 72), C Tony Wolters (.259, 3, 30)
Rotation: RH Jon Gray (10-10, 4.61 ERA), RH Tyler Chatwood (12-9, 3.87), LH Tyler Anderson (5-6, 3.54), LH Kyle Freeland (6-3, 3.91 at Triple-A), RH German Marquez (1-1, 5.23)
Key relievers: Greg Holland (did not pitch in 2016), Adam Ottavino (1-3, 2.67, 7/12 SV), Mike Dunn (6-1, 3.40, 4/8 SV with Marlins), Jake McGee (2-3, 4.73, 15/19 SV), Jordan Lyles (4-5, 5.83), Chad Qualls (2-0, 5.23), Chris Rusin (3-5, 3.74), Carlos Estevez (3-7, 5.24, 11/18 SV)
Hot spots: Catcher and closer. Wolters was 23 years old and hadn't played a game above Double-A last year when the Rockies claimed him off waivers from Cleveland. Now he's the most experienced catcher on the Rockies' 40-man roster, having played 71 major league games. A pitch-framing specialist with rare agility behind the plate, Wolters must coax pitchers through Coors Field and its occasional malefactions. While Colorado's rotation is the best it's looked in years, the ninth inning could be an adventure. Seven pitchers recorded a save for the Rockies in 2016. Now, a man who hasn't thrown a competitive pitch since 2015 might be their best option. Holland, 31, saved 125 games for the Royals from 2013-15 before elbow surgery paused his career. Ottavino will close if Holland can't.
Outlook: The Rockies probably won't catch the Dodgers or Giants this season, but a .500 record or better would be a big boost for their rebuilding movement. Black skippered the Padres from 2007-15, then spent last year in the Angels' front office. His first task: keeping morale steady after a spate of injuries and illness struck the clubhouse. The Rockies' biggest offseason acquisition was veteran Desmond, but he'll miss the beginning of the season with a fractured hand. Pitcher Chad Bettis, who led the Rockies with 32 starts last year, is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for testicular cancer. Backup catcher Tom Murphy (hairline fracture in forearm) and outfielder Dahl (ribs) could also start the season on the DL. If they can get past these early hurdles, the Rockies will be competitive at worst and dangerous at best. | | 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 hope blowout of Rockies sparks revival
SAN FRANCISCO -- Two teams having different types of issues meet again Tuesday night when the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants continue their three-game series. The Giants put their problems in the rearview mirror for one night when they used a 14-hit attack and strong pitching by Jeff Samardzija to thump the struggling Rockies 9-2 in the series opener Monday. The top four hitters in the Giants' lineup -- Denard Span, Joe Panik, Hunter Pence and Buster Posey -- combined for 10 hits and six RBIs in San Francisco's most potent home output since June 11. "We haven't forgotten how to hit," said Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford, who contributed a run-scoring hit to the attack. "We know what we're capable of. It's been a while since we all came together in the same game." The assault on Rockies pitching came shortly after the Giants held a team meeting to clear the air on an issue brought to light in a Fox Sports report. The story claimed some Giants players were unhappy with reliever Mark Melancon's refusal to adjust his game preparations to those that members of the San Francisco bullpen had been using since 2012. Melancon admitted he has stuck with his traditional pregame routine, saying that nobody informed him there was a problem with it. Asked if he thought the reported riff had played any sort of a role in his club's dismal season, Giants manager Bruce Bochy dismissed the notion, calling it "pole vaulting over mouse turds." In an effort to capitalize on a rare positive vibe, the Giants will hand the ball to Matt Cain on Tuesday night as they look to record back-to-back wins for the first time since May 27-28. You have to go back much further than that to find the last time Cain beat the Rockies. That hasn't happened since May 26, 2013, a four-year stretch during which the veteran right-hander has gone 0-4 with a 4.47 ERA against Colorado in nine starts. Cain has started more games against the Rockies in their history than any other pitcher. He owns a 17-11 record and a 3.48 ERA in 39 career outings vs. Colorado. Cain (3-7, 5.54 ERA) will be facing a Rockies team that is 19 games ahead of the Giants in the standings but floundering nonetheless. The Rockies had hoped seeing the Giants, whom they had beaten nine straight times, would cure the ills they absorbed in a three-game thumping by the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend. Instead, they got another poor effort by a starting pitcher and little offensive support in a blowout loss to a club that had entered the Monday game on a five-game losing streak of its own. "This is a team game," Rockies left fielder Ian Desmond said. "It's not pitching. It's not hitting. It's all of it. "Pitching's a lot easier when you have run support. And hitting's a lot easier when you have the pitchers shutting them down, having quick innings. It goes hand in hand. We just have to tighten it up as a team. Everybody." The task of ending Colorado's season-worst, six-game losing streak will fall upon right-hander Jeff Hoffman, who has gone 3-0 with a 1.33 ERA in three road starts this season. Hoffman (4-1, 4.29 ERA) didn't get a decision when he allowed seven hits and three walks, but just one run, in five innings in Colorado's 10-9 home win over the Giants earlier this month. It was his first career outing against San Francisco. |
