Manager: Dave Roberts (second season)
Who's new? IF Logan Forsythe, OF Franklin Gutierrez, OF Brett Eibner, RHP Sergio Romo
Who's gone? OF Josh Reddick, C Carlos Ruiz, RHP Joe Blanton, RHP Jose De Leon, LHP J.P. Howell, RHP Louis Coleman, RHP Jesse Chavez
Projected lineup: 2B Logan Forsythe (.264, 20 HR, 52 RBI with Rays) or Chase Utley (.252, 14, 52), SS Corey Seager (.308, 26 72), 3B Justin Turner (.275, 27, 90), 1B Adrian Gonzalez (.285, 18, 90), RF Yasiel Puig (.263, 11, 45) or Andre Ethier (.208, 1, 2 in 16 games), C Yasmani Grandal (.228, 27, 72), CF Joc Pederson (.246, 25, 68), LF Andrew Toles (.314, 3, 16) or Trayce Thompson (.225, 13, 32)
Rotation: LH Clayton Kershaw (12-4, 1.69 ERA), RH Kenta Maeda (16-11, 3.48), LH Rich Hill (12-5, 2.12 with A's and Dodgers), RH Brandon McCarthy (2-3, 4.95), LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (0-1, 11.57 in one game) or LH Alex Wood (1-4, 3.73)
Key relievers: RH Kenley Jansen (3-2, 1.83, 47/53 SV), RH Pedro Baez (3-2, 3.04), LH Grant Dayton (0-1, 2.05), LH Luis Avilan (3-0, 3.20), RH Josh Fields (1-0, 4.63 with Astros and Dodgers), RH Sergio Romo (1-0, 2.64 with Giants), RH Chris Hatcher (5-4, 5.53)
Hot spots: Outfield and rotation. The Dodgers set a record for Disabled List trips in 2016. Ethier, who missed most of last season with a broken tibia, compared his recent back injury to 'Groundhog Day.' Even without Ethier there isn't room for Puig, Pederson, Toles, Thompson, Scott Van Slyke, Franklin Gutierrez and Brett Eibner. The pitching staff was decimated last year too, but a deep farm system produced a wave of capable reinforcements. If Scott Kazmir, McCarthy or Ryu can't pitch, Julio Urias, Brock Stewart and Ross Stripling can step in.
Outlook: After two straight winters laying low on the free agent market, Andrew Friedman bet big on his 2016 roster. Turner, Jansen, Hill and Utley all re-signed, giving the Dodgers a chance to prove last season's NLCS run wasn't a fluke. A full season of Kershaw and Hill ' to name just two ' would improve the team's chances of claiming a fifth straight division title. If the Dodgers want to take the next step, they'll have to get past the defending champion Chicago Cubs, a potential perennial powerhouse whose roster remains similarly intact. | | LA ANGELS: 2016: 74-88, fourth place

Rotation: RH Garrett Richards (1-3, 2.34 in six starts), RH Matt Shoemaker (9-13, 3.88), LH Tyler Skaggs (3-4, 4.17), RH Ricky Nolasco (8-14, 4.42 with Twins and Angels), RH Jesse Chavez (2-2, 4.43 with Blue Jays and Dodgers) or RH Bud Norris (6-10, 5.10 for Braves and Dodgers)
Key relievers: RH Huston Street (3-2, 6.45, 9/12 SV), RH Cam Bedrosian (2-0, 1.12), RH Andrew Bailey (3-1, 5.36 6/7 SV for Phillies and Angels), RH J.C. Ramirez (2-1, 2.91), LH Jose Alvarez (1-3, 3.45), RH Austin Adams (0-0, 9.82 with Indians), RH Yusmeiro Petit (3-5, 4.30 with Nationals), RH Mike Morin (2-2, 4.37)
Hot spots: First base and fifth starter. Pujols started 23 games at first base last year, and will likely play fewer this year after offseason plantar fascia surgery. For now, Pujols is the primary DH, Cron is the first baseman, and Valbuena will begin the season on the DL with a strained hamstring. One problem: neither Cron (.698 OPS) nor Valbuena (.666) could hit lefties last year. The top candidates for fifth starter are similarly flawed. Chavez and Norris finished last season as relievers. Alex Meyer has six major league starts to his name. The Angels might need all of them at points in 2017.
Outlook: It's hard to be too optimistic about a team that's made one playoff appearance in seven years. Yet it's hard to be too pessimistic considering the hard-luck injuries that decimated the Angels in 2016, particularly on the pitching side. Still, 2017 figures to be a transition year. The back of the rotation is a patch job until Tommy John patients Andrew Heaney and Nick Tropeano return from rehab. The Angels will gain some financial freedom after the season, when Josh Hamilton finally comes off the books. Any positive momentum in the meantime would make Anaheim a more attractive destination for free agents. Getting back above .500 would be a realistic step in that direction; anything beyond that is a bonus |
| | Angels brace for battle with Dodgers' Kershaw
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The bad news for the Los Angeles Angels is that they have to face left-hander Clayton Kershaw when they take the field against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. The good news? Well, if there is such a thing when facing Kershaw, it's that he isn't coming off a rare off-night. That's what the Colorado Rockies were faced with Saturday, when they opposed a Kershaw who had given up a personal-worst four home runs to the New York Mets in his previous start. Though Kershaw found trouble in the first inning against the Rockies, he settled in and threw six scoreless innings. On Thursday, the Angels will get the "regular" Kershaw, which is no small task. In nine career starts against them, he is 5-2 with a 2.69 ERA and a .202 opponents' batting average. Only one current Angel has a career average against Kershaw higher than .286. Angels designated hitter Albert Pujols has hit Kershaw well over the years, batting .379 (11-for-29) with four doubles. Angels manager Mike Scioscia figures to stack his lineup with right-handed hitters against Kershaw (11-2, 2.47 ERA). Kole Calhoun, though, could be an exception. The left-handed-hitting Calhoun has two hits in seven at-bats against Kershaw, including a home run. One of the things that makes Kershaw so good, no matter the opponent, is his mental approach. If he gets in trouble, he is not going to abandon his game plan. "You have to have that mindset where you can't give in -- that's the biggest thing," Kershaw told the Los Angeles Times. "That old cliche, one pitch at a time, really holds true. You kind of forget about what happened, you try to make that next pitch and just keep doing that until they take you out." The Angels will start JC Ramirez, the reliever-turned-starter who has been a work-in-progress this season. His 97 mph fastball, along with injuries to others on the staff, helped him get into the rotation. But he has had to figure out how to approach hitters a second, third and sometimes a fourth time in a single game -- something he didn't have to do as a reliever. In 14 starts, Ramirez (7-5, 4.38) has held the opposing team to two earned runs or fewer eight times. In his most recent start, he gave up one run and four hits in six innings during a 6-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. However, he also has had a few clunkers. Ramirez has allowed five earned runs or more four times, the most recent coming June 18 against the Kansas City Royals, when he gave up five runs and lasted just three innings. Ramirez said his struggles come when he thinks too much. Keeping things simple has helped him find a rhythm and groove. "That was my plan before," he told the Orange County Register. "I don't know why I lost it. But I got the results (again)." Ramirez has faced the Dodgers twice in his career, both times as a reliever. He threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings in those outings, retiring all 11 batters he faced. After the Angels pulled out a 3-2 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, they will be looking to finish with three victories in the four-game, home-and-home series that concludes Thursday. |
