Manager: Craig Counsell (third season)
Who's new? 1B Eric Thames, 3B Travis Shaw, C Jett Bandy, RHP Neftali Feliz, RHP Joba Chamberlain, LHP Tommy Milone
Who's gone? 1B Chris Carter, C Martin Maldonado, OF Rymer Liriano, RHP Tyler Thornburg, RHP Blaine Boyer, LHP Chris Capuano
Projected lineup: 2B Jonathan Villar (.285, 19 HR, 63 RBI, 62 SB), SS Orlando Arcia (.219, 4, 17), LF Ryan Braun (.305, 30, 91, 16), 1B Eric Thames (.317, 40, 118, 13 SBs in Korea), RF Domingo Santana (.256, 11, 32), 3B Travis Shaw (.242, 16, 71 with Red Sox), CF Keon Broxton (.242, 9, 19, 23 SB), C Jett Bandy (.234, 8, 25 with Angels)
Rotation: Junior Guerra (9-3, 2.81 ERA), Zach Davies (11-7, 3.97), Matt Garza (4-8, 4.51), Wily Peralta (7-11, 3.86), Jimmy Nelson (8-16, 4.62) or Chase Anderson (9-11, 4.39) or Tommy Milone (3-5, 5.71 with Twins)
Key relievers: RHP Neftali Feliz (4-2, 3.52 with Pirates), RHP Corey Knebel (1-4, 4.68), RHP Carlos Torres (3-3, 2.73), RHP Jhan Marinez (0-1, 3.22), RHP Joba Chamberlain (0-0, 2.25 with Indians), RHP Jacob Barnes (0-1, 2.70), RHP Tyler Cravy (0-1, 2.86)
Hot spot: Fifth starter. Guerra and Davies began last season in the minors, then emerged as pleasant surprises in an otherwise long season. Now the Brewers have seven candidates for five rotation jobs. Nelson, who's led the staff in innings the last two years, might be wary of his two minor league options if he struggles out of the gate.
Outlook: No team was more active on the bases last season than the Brewers, whose 181 steals were the most by any team since 2009. Villar, Broxton and Hernan Perez were the primary thieves, and all return. The front office curiously chose not to bring back Carter after a 41-home run season. His replacement is Thames, who hasn't had a major league at-bat since 2012. Hitter-friendly Miller Park will do no favors to their pedestrian pitching staff, but the Brewers aren't expected to contend for at least another couple seasons. At least their offense will be entertaining in the meantime. | | PITTSBURGH: 2016: 78-83, third place
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. |
| | Pirates aim to complete 4-game sweep of Brewers
PITTSBURGH -- The Milwaukee Brewers will hope to avoid a four-game series sweep when they face the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday afternoon at PNC Park. The Pirates (47-48) will attempt to extend their winning streak to five games and pull within three games of the National League Central-leading Brewers (52-45). "I believed in the club when I don't know how many other people believed in the club," manager Clint Hurdle said of his Pirates. "We hadn't played good baseball. We had better baseball in us. We had to get it out." Despite Milwaukee's division lead shrinking to 1 1/2 games over the second-place Chicago Cubs, manager Craig Counsell remains confident. "I think we're in first place still," Counsell said. "So, we're in a good spot. Let's open the calendar to July 21 and say we're in first place. We're happy and we're ready to go. The season is a test, it's a grind, it's long and it's filled with adversity. We're going through a little patch right now." Pirates right-handed starter Jameson Taillon (5-3, 3.06 ERA) could give Milwaukee more fits if he is able to duplicate teammate Gerrit Cole's performance from Wednesday. Cole allowed one run and struck out 10 in seven innings, winding up with a no-decision as Pittsburgh won 3-2 in 10 innings. Taillon will look to go deeper in the game after failing to reach six innings in his past two starts. In his most recent outing on Saturday, he allowed four runs on eight hits in five innings in a 4-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Before that loss, Taillon won each of his previous two starts, pitching shutout ball for 6 1/3 innings against the Tampa Bay Rays on June 29 and for five innings against the Philadelphia Phillies on July 4. The Brewers will counter with right-hander Jimmy Nelson, who has won six of his past seven decisions. Nelson (8-4, 3.27) went 6 2/3 innings in his most recent start, allowing two runs on three hits in a no-decision against the Phillies on Saturday. In one start against Pittsburgh this season, Nelson pitched three perfect innings before a rain delay cut short his promising outing on May 5. Milwaukee ultimately lost that game 4-0. Each team would like to provide more run support than it did Wednesday. Brewers right fielder Domingo Santana was one of the few players to have an effective offensive outing, hitting a solo home run that gave Milwaukee a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning. He also set up Milwaukee's first run in the first inning with a leadoff double down the left field line. Santana went 3-for-5. The Brewers could use a similar hitting line Thursday. "He's swinging the bat well," Counsell said. "The reason he's hitting (leadoff) is you want to try to get him up a lot. He got us started in the first inning with a double. ... And then the homer, (Juan Nicasio) is really tough on right-handed hitters, but Domingo's got that opposite-field power." Counsell wouldn't say if Santana would again bat leadoff Thursday. |
