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? | | ARIZONA: 2016: 69-93, fourth place
Manager: Torey Lovullo (first season)
Who's new? C Chris Iannetta, C Jeff Mathis, IF/OF Daniel Descalso, RHP Taijuan Walker, RHP Fernando Rodney, RHP Tom Wilhelmsen, RHP Kevin Jepsen, RHP Tyler Jones
Who's gone? Manager Chip Hale, SS Jean Segura, IF/OF Phil Gosselin, OF Peter O'Brien, C Welington Castillo, C Tuffy Gosewich, OF Rickie Weeks Jr., RHP Daniel Hudson, LHP Edwin Escobar
Projected lineup: CF A.J. Pollock (.244, 2 HR, 4 RBI in 12 games), 3B Jake Lamb (.249, 9, 29), 1B Paul Goldschmidt (.297, 24, 95, 32 SB), RF David Peralta (.251, .4, 15), LF Yasmany Tomas (.272, 31, 83), 2B Brandon Drury (.282, 16, 53), SS Chris Owings (.277, 5, 49, 21 SB), C Chris Iannetta (.210, 7, 24 with Mariners) or Jeff Mathis (.238, 2, 15 with Marlins)
Rotation: RH Zack Greinke (13-7, 4.37 ERA), RH Taijuan Walker (8-11, 4.22), LH Robbie Ray (8-15, 4.90), LH Patrick Corbin (5-13, 5.15), RH Shelby Miller (3-12, 6.15)
Key relievers: RH Fernando Rodney (2-4, 3.44, 25/28 SV with Padres and Marlins), RH Jake Barrett (1-2, 3.49), RH Randall Delgado (5-2, 4.44), LH Andrew Chafin (0-1, 6.75), RH Kevin Jepsen (2-6, 5.98, 7/11 SV with Twins and Rays), RH Tom Wilhelmsen (2-4, 6.80 with Rangers and Mariners)
Hot spots: Rotation and catcher. The Diamondbacks' rotation was atrocious in 2016, ranking 29th in MLB in ERA. But hey, maybe it wasn't all their fault. In his first year as general manager, Mike Hazen installed a 'pitching strategist' (Dan Haren) and three new catchers (former Angels Iannetta, Mathis and Hank Conger). Meanwhile, nine of the 10 pitchers who started a game for the Diamondbacks last year remain in the organization. It's a bold experiment in how to fix a pitching staff. Iannetta and Mathis can frame all the borderline pitches they want. At some point, the onus will fall on Greinke, Ray, Miller, Corbin and newcomer Walker to perform to their potential.
Outlook: It wasn't long ago that Arizona spent $206 million to coax Greinke to defect from the Dodgers. Now the Diamondbacks feel like a team on the brink of a complete rebuild. Even without Jean Segura, who led the National League in hits, the lineup will score enough to keep Arizona competitive. But what to make of the pitching staff? The rotation beyond Greinke could be anywhere from awesome to abysmal. The ninth inning belongs to 39-year-old Rodney and, if he fails, a who's-who list of failed former closers: Wilhelmsen, Jepsen or J.J. Hoover. The farm system is in poor shape. If things get worse before they get better, Greinke could be the first player traded. |
| | D-backs look to keep good times rolling vs. Padres
PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks are having a lot of fun these days. Dunk contests in the clubhouse. A disco ball throwing colored lights on the ceiling. Biggie Smalls on the stereo. Winning can do that for a team, and the Diamondbacks look to keep the good times rolling Wednesday night against the San Diego Padres. The Diamondbacks (14-8) broke out the rap music and disco ball after a 9-3 victory over San Diego on Tuesday, when they had a season-high 16 hits and homered in the first inning for the fifth straight game. Arizona leads the majors with 121 runs and is 10-2 at home, tying the best start in franchise history. The Diamondbacks have won four of five and seven of 10. "We've talked about playing downhill baseball here, setting the tone by being ready on both sides of the ball," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. "There is a lot of preparation that goes into us being successful early in the game. These guys are all prepared for their first at-bat, and for the hitting coaches who are preparing them. Once we score, we've been doing our job on the mound." The Padres (8-14) are going the opposite way. They have lost four in a row and nine of 12, dropping the first two games of the four-game series at Chase Field despite a pair of three-hit games by second baseman Yangervis Solarte. Part of Arizona's recent success is getting early home runs. The Diamondbacks are the first team since the 2005 White Sox to homer in the first inning in five straight games. The first inning long balls came from A.J. Pollock, Jake Lamb/Yamany Tomas, Paul Goldschmidt, David Peralta and Goldschmidt again Tuesday. "It takes a little bit of pressure off the pitching to be able to play with that lead," Goldschmidt said. "It's one of those things where you'll play however you have to. We were playing from behind a lot. It doesn't have to be one way, just trying to have good at-bats, whether we are up by a lot or down by a lot." Arizona also leads the majors with nine comeback victories. Diamondbacks right-hander Zack Godley will start Wednesday, filling the rotation vacancy created when right-hander Shelby Miller as removed from his Sunday start because of elbow inflammation. Miller got a second opinion on his arm by Los Angeles specialist Neal ElAttrache on Tuesday, and the team expects to be told the extent of the injury Wednesday. In the meantime, the Diamondbacks hope Godley can continue his early-season success with Triple-A Reno. Godley was 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA in three appearances with Reno. He gave up one single white striking out seven in seven scoreless innings of a 7-1 victory in his most recent start on April 19. "I was locating all of my pitches pretty well," Godley said. "It was lot of fun to be a part of. To be able to throw the ball exactly where you want to each time is just a great feeling." Godley was 5-4 with a 6.54 ERA in 27 appearances, nine starts, with Arizona last season after going 5-1 with a 3.19 ERA in nine appearances in 2015. He features a four-pitch mix that includes a cutter and a curveball. Former Diamondback Trevor Cahill starts for San Diego. He spent three seasons with Arizona in 2012-14 and won 13 games in 2012 before being traded to Atlanta late in spring training in 2015. He is 1-2 with a 3.44 ERA in three starts this season. Each of Cahill's starts has gone at least 5 2/3 innings. Cahill gave up three hits and one run over seven innings in his most recent outing, a 5-3 victory over the Miami Marlins in San Diego on Friday. "The goal was to keep the ball down," Cahill said. "You always want to go deep. Especially being in the bullpen (last year while with the Chicago Cubs), you realize how important saving a bullpen is." He has made only one previous start against the D-backs but has plenty of experience in Chase Field, where he is 10-17 with a 4.87 ERA. |
