| |  | WASHINGTON:
Manager: Dusty Baker (second season)
Who's new? CF Adam Eaton, C Matt Wieters, 1B Adam Lind, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Joe Blanton
Who's gone? CF Ben Revere, C Wilson Ramos, RHP Lucas Giolito, RHP Mat Latos, LHP Sean Burnett, RHP Mark Melancon, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Projected lineup: CF Adam Eaton (.284, 14 HR, 59 RBI, 14 SB with White Sox), SS Trea Turner (.342, 13, 40, 33), 2B Daniel Murphy (.347, 25, 104), RF Bryce Harper (.243, 24, 86, 21 SB), 3B Anthony Rendon (.270, 20, 85), LF Jayson Werth (.244, 21, 69), 1B Ryan Zimmerman (.218, 15, 46) or Adam Lind (.239, 20, 58 with Mariners), C Matt Wieters (.243, 17, 66 with Orioles)
Rotation: RH Max Scherzer (20-7, 2.96 ERA), RH Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83), LH Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57), RH Stephen Strasburg (15-4, 3.60), RH Joe Ross (7-5, 3.43)
Key relievers: RH Shawn Kelley (3-2, 2.64), RH Joe Blanton (7-2, 2.48), RH Blake Treinen (4-1, 2.28), LH Sammy Solis (2-4, 2.41), RH Trevor Gott (0-0, 1.50), LH Oliver Perez (2-3, 4.95), LH Enny Romero (2-0, 5.91 with Rays)
Hot spots: First base and closer. Zimmerman posted a career-low .642 OPS last season and was often spelled by left-handed hitter Clint Robinson. Now 32, Zimmerman must prove he's worthy of regular playing time. Robinson and free-agent pickup Lind are next in line. The ninth inning could be a committee job too, though it's never been the Nationals' preferred method. After Kenley Jansen spurned D.C. for less money in L.A., their choices were limited. Kelley and Blanton have never closed in a combined 20 seasons in the majors, but both were stalwart set-up men last season. Joe Nathan and his 377 career saves are also in camp on a minor-league deal.
Outlook: Trading former top prospect Lucas Giolito to the White Sox for Eaton signaled the Nationals' championship ambitions. Their five-game loss to the Dodgers last October marked the third time in five years they've fallen just short of the NLCS. Washington begins the season with some familiar weapons ' a dangerous heart of the lineup, an experienced bench and exceptional starting pitching. Eaton is a huge upgrade over Revere at the plate, but Wieters will be pressed to replace Ramos' 3.5 wins above replacement (via FanGraphs). Failing to sign a marquee closer could prove fatal if Kelley, Nathan or someone else can't hold down the ninth inning. | | SAN DIEGO: 2016: 68-94, fifth place
Manager: Andy Green (second season)
Who's new? RHP Jhoulys Chacin, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jered Weaver
Who's gone? RHP Tyson Ross, RHP Brandon Morrow, IF/OF Alexi Amarista, OF Jon Jay, OF Oswaldo Arcia, IF/OF Adam Rosales
Projected lineup: LF Travis Jankowski (.245, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 30 SB), CF Manuel Margot (.243, 0, 3 in 10 games), 1B Wil Myers (.259, 28, 94, 28), 3B Yangervis Solarte (.286, 15, 71), RF Hunter Renfroe (.371, 4, 14 in 11 games), 2B Ryan Schmipf (.217, 20, 51), C Austin Hedges (.125, 0, 1 in eight games), SS Luis Sardinas (.287, 2, 13)
Rotation: RH Jered Weaver (12-12, 5.06 ERA with Angels), RH Jhoulys Chacin (6-8, 4.81 with Angels and Braves), LH Clayton Richard (3-3, 2.52), RH Trevor Cahill (4-4, 2.74 with Cubs), LH Christian Friedrich (5-12, 4.80) or RH Luis Perdomo (9-10, 5.71)
Key relievers: RH Brandon Maurer (0-5, 4.52, 13/19 SV), RH Carter Capps (did not pitch - Tommy John surgery), LH Ryan Buchter (3-0, 2.86), LH Brad Hand (4-4, 2.92), RH Kevin Quackenbush (7-7, 3.92), LH Keith Hessler (1-0, 3.38 with Diamondbacks and Padres), RH Jarred Cosart (0-3, 6.03 with Marlins and Padres)
Hot spots: Bullpen. San Diego's version of a position battle is Green fighting the temptation to bench a young player in the middle of a long slump. Since the Padres are playing for next year anyway, watching bullpen roles shake out might be someone's version of fun. Maurer, the incumbent closer, blew six of 19 save opportunities last year. Hand and Buchter are a pair of workhorse lefties who wouldn't look out of place on a contending team. The wild card is Capps, who is healthy after missing all of 2016 following Tommy John surgery. A year before, he struck out 58 batters in 31 innings with the Marlins.
Outlook: Look up 'rebuilding team' in the dictionary. With only eight active players on the books for more than $1 million ' excluding the retained salaries of Matt Kemp, Melvin Upton Jr. and several other former Padres ' San Diego will field MLB's lowest payroll. Theirs is the youngest roster in baseball too, with perhaps only two players who have turned 30 by Opening Day. Their best prospects are college-age kids in the low minors. So what's to like? Prospect watchers have been awaiting the arrival of Margot and Renfroe for years. The backup catcher, Christian Bethancourt, might pitch. Capps has an unusual delivery. The Padres also ran the bases aggressively under Green, and stolen bases are fun. How's that for a marketing slogan? |
| | Baker resting Murphy as Nationals end series with Padres
SAN DIEGO -- Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker looks at Sunday's four-game series finale with the San Diego Padres with an eye toward the future. Washington is running away with the National League East and is making plans for October. Baker is doing just that by resting second baseman Daniel Murphy for the second consecutive day. "I just thought it would be better," Baker said. "I could see him, he wasn't moving real smoothly the last couple of days. Although he kind of waddles, anyway." So Howie Kendrick, who has played well in the outfield, is back at second again. What Baker has learned in his second season with the Nationals is that he's more cognizant of his players' well-being. "Part of my job is to notice personality changes, physical changes and to see the difference between one day to the next," Baker said. "Last year Murph was new to me. I didn't know what kind of signs to look for. "Murph isn't going to come and tell me (he wants a day off). I'm going to have to go to him and kind of tell him, not ask him, because Muph wants to play. I just thought he should take some time off and he agreed with me." Murphy is expected back when the Nationals open a three-game series with the Astros on Tuesday. So Murphy, who is 1-for-7 on the road trip, will get three days of rest. "He is just kind of sore this time of year," Baker said. "He does a lot of squatting at second base and he hits out of a crouch last year." Baker has the luxury of giving significant players a blow while enjoying a double-digit lead. While he would love for the Nationals to win and split the series on Sunday, what's sweeter is refreshed ball players. "What happens when you slow down, the concentration is such that you are taking good pitches and swing at pitches out of the zone because your concentration isn't the same," Baker said. Gio Gonzalez (11--5, 2.49) gets the nod for Washington. The southpaw, who is 2-2 with a 4.30 ERA lifetime against the Padres, is looking for his fourth straight win. Gonzalez was stellar his last time out when throwing six innings of scoreless ball when beating the Los Angeles Angels. He carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning. "He pitched his butt off," said the Angels' Cameron Maybin to MLB.com after breaking up Gonzalez's no-hitter with an infield single. "You got to tip your hat to him. It's about more than just throwing the ball. It's about pitching, and he did a great job." The Padres will counter with Dinelson Lamet (7-4) and he's been keen of late, too. He's aiming for his fifth straight win in his first appearance against the Nationals. Padres manager Andy Green said there's no mystery to Lamet's success. "Do the same thing," Green said. "I don't think you're looking for any major change or any departure for him. Attack, attack aggressively, and attack with your two plus pitches. Be willing to throw anything at any point in time." |
