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. | | ATLANTA: 2016: 68-93, fifth place
Manager: Brian Snitker (second season)
Who's new? 2B Brandon Phillips, 2B Micah Johnson, C Kurt Suzuki, IF/OF Sean Rodriguez, SP Bartolo Colon, SP R.A. Dickey, SP Jaime Garcia
Who's gone? OF Mallex Smith, C A.J. Pierzynski, RHP Chris Withrow, RHP Ryan Weber
Projected lineup: CF Ender Inciarte (.291, 3 HR, 29 RBI, 16 SB), SS Dansby Swanson (.302, 3, 17), 1B Freddie Freeman (.302, 34, 91), LF Matt Kemp (.280, 12, 39 with Padres and Braves), RF Nick Markakis (.269, 13, 89), 2B Brandon Phillips (.291, 11, 64, 14 SB), 3B Adonis Garcia (.273, 14, 65), C Tyler Flowers (.270, 8, 41)
Rotation: RH Julio Teheran (7-10, 3.21), RH Bartolo Colon (15-8, 3.43 with Mets), LH Jaime Garcia (10-13, 4.67 with Cardinals), RH R.A. Dickey (10-15, 4.46 with Blue Jays), RH Mike Foltynewicz (9-5, 4.31)
Key relievers: RH Jim Johnson (2-6, 3.06 ERA, 20/23 SV), RH Arodys Vizcaino (1-4, 4.42, 10/14 SV), RH Mauricio Cabrera (5-1, 2.82), LH Ian Krol (2-0, 3.18), RH Jose Ramirez (2-2, 3.58), RH Josh Collmenter (1-0, 4.84 with Diamondbacks)
Hot spots: Second base and rotation. Phillips, acquired from the Reds in February, is a placeholder for prospect Ozzie Albies at second base. Albies, 20, won the Double-A Southern League batting title in 2016 and is a potential September call-up at least. The rotation is in a similar state of transition, but it's more complicated. Veterans Teheran, Colon, Dickey and Garcia have jobs for now. Youngsters Foltynewicz, Aaron Blair, Matt Wisler, Lucas Sims and Sean Newcomb are pushing to seize long-term spots.
Outlook: In the inaugural season at SunTrust Park, the Braves will try to crack .500 for the first time since 2013. Their rebuilding work isn't finished, but the front office added about $30 million in salary over the winter. That ought to be enough to make the Braves watchable again. Now, the veterans trying to extend their careers in Atlanta (Colon, Dickey, Phillips, Kemp) are almost as intriguing as the prospects. The sight of 23-year-old shortstop Swanson backing up 40-something pitchers Colon and Dickey could be something special. |
| | Braves' Dickey goes on three days' rest vs. Pirates
ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves will go old-school with their pitching staff on Tuesday when they send starter R.A. Dickey to the mound on three days' rest. Dickey (3-3, 4.13 ERA) will start the second game of a four-game series with the Pirates. Right-hander Tyler Glasnow (2-3, 7.34) gets the ball for Pittsburgh. Atlanta won the series opener 5-2 on Monday behind homers from Brandon Phillips and Matt Adams. Dickey, a knuckleballer, isn't believed to require as much rest as a typical pitcher, and Atlanta manager Brian Snitker didn't hesitate to send the veteran to the mound on non-typical rest. The move allows Snitker to squeeze Dickey in the rotation between hard-throwing Mike Foltynewicz and Julio Teheran, thus giving the starting staff a different look. "We wanted to use R.A. to break up a couple of similar guys," Snitker said. "It gives us the opportunity to do that. If it was up to him, he'd pitch every fourth day anyway." Dickey has made eight career starts on three days' rest, going 3-4 with a 6.20 ERA. This season, the right-hander has made eight starts, recording 26 strikeouts and 21 walks in 48 innings. He has made nine career appearances, eight starts, against the Pirates, going 3-3 with a 2.76 ERA. He lost to Pittsburgh on April 8 when he allowed six runs, three earned, in 5 2/3 innings. In his most recent outing, Dickey tossed 5 1/3 innings and yielded four runs, two earned, in a no-decision against the Washington Nationals on Friday. Glasnow is 23, 19 years younger than Dickey. The rookie, considered the best pitching prospect in the organization, will make his first career appearance against Atlanta. He beat the Nationals in his last start on Thursday, allowing four runs, two earned, on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six. If Glasnow can't go deep into the game -- his longest stint is 6 1/3 innings -- the Pirates will turn to a reliable bullpen anchored by Felipe Rivero, Juan Nicasio and Tony Watson. The Pittsburgh bullpen worked 3 1/3 scoreless innings on Monday. Nicasio has made 13 straight scoreless appearances. Rivero has a team-high 11 holds. Watson, who earned his 10th save on Sunday, has converted 10 of his 11 save opportunities. Manager Clint Hurdle said, "It's been a long run (for Nicasio). I don't know the last time he gave up a run. I think it's been a while. He's been aggressive. It hasn't been one thing, because it's not like they're all strikes. He's had some extended counts. I think the split changeup is something he's been able to combat the left-handers." Watson is succeeding even though his strikeout rate is down. He has 14 strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings. Last season, he registered 58 strikeouts in 67 2/3 innings. "I think as pitchers mature, they get a better feel of what they want to do and how they want to do it on the mound," Hurdle said. "His feel for pitching, I just think, is maturing. He knows himself really well. It's not just missing bats now. It's weak contact." Pittsburgh may know more by game time about the severity of the injury to shortstop Jordy Mercer, who left the Monday contest early after taking a ground ball off the base of his right thumb. He was examined by the medical staff and ruled day-to-day. The Braves have won eight of their past 11 games. The Pirates have won six of their past nine. Despite the loss on Monday, Pittsburgh has won 15 of the past 22 games against Atlanta. |
