Manager: Bruce Bochy (11th season)
Who's new? RHP Mark Melancon, C Nick Hundley, IF Jae-Gyun Hwang
Who's gone? OF Angel Pagan, OF Gregor Blanco, RHP Jake Peavy, RHP Santiago Casilla, RHP Sergio Romo, LHP Javier Lopez
Projected lineup: CF Denard Span (.266, 11 HR, 53 RBI, 12 SB), 1B Brandon Belt (.275, 17 , 82), C Buster Posey (.288, 14, 80), RF Hunter Pence (.289, 13, 57), SS Brandon Crawford (.275, 12, 84), 3B Eduardo Nunez (.288, 16, 67, 40 SBs with Giants and Twins), 2B Joe Panik (.239, 10, 62), LF Jarrett Parker (.236, 5, 14) or Mac Williamson (.223, 6, 15)
Rotation: LH Madison Bumgarner (15-9, 2.74 ERA), RH Johnny Cueto (18-5, 2.79), RH Jeff Samardzija (12-11, 3.81), LH Matt Moore (13-12, 4.08 with Giants and Rays), RH Matt Cain (4-8, 5.64)
Key relievers: RH Mark Melancon (2-2, 1.64, 47/51 SV with Nationals), RH Hunter Strickland (3-3, 3.10), RH Derek Law (4-2, 2.13), LH Steven Okert (0-0, 3.21) or Josh Osich (1-3, 4.71), RH Cory Gearrin (3-2, 4.28), RH George Kontos (3-2, 2.53)
Hot spot: Bullpen and left field. No team blew more saves last year than the Giants. The front office hopes it found the answer by signing three-time All-Star closer Melancon to a (then-record) four-year, $62 million deal, and by cutting ties with Romo and Casilla. They will need to replace Will Smith, a key lefty who tore his UCL in spring training. Veteran outfielder Pagan left after five seasons in San Francisco. Rather than fill his shoes via free agency or trade, the unproven tandem of Williamson and Parker is expected to share time in left.
Outlook: The Giants have an established core of position players, and an enviable 1-2 rotation punch in Bumgarner and Cueto. That's probably why the front office did little in the offseason besides overhaul the back end of the bullpen. Hwang, who hit 26 home runs and drove in 104 last year in Korea, is an intriguing addition to the bench. Mostly the Giants are counting on continuity. Former NL MVP Posey is coming off a below-average season by his standards, and sparkplug Pence missed nearly two months last year with a hamstring injury. Expecting both to bounce back isn't a stretch, and new closer Melancon is as good as they come. At full strength, this Giants team should be able to give the Dodgers a good run. | | 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' Garcia, Giants' Cain duel again
ATLANTA -- Jamie Garcia got the best of the Giants' Matt Cain in a pitching duel at San Francisco on May 26, the decisive seventh-inning hit in the 2-0 victory coming from the Atlanta Braves pitcher himself. The two veterans will be matched again on Thursday night as the teams conclude a four-game series at SunTrust Park. Cain will try to get a little payback. The loss by Cain to the Braves is part of a five-game losing streak for the right-hander, who is 3-6 with a 4.99 ERA. "It was definitely a tough one to go back and forth scoreless with Garcia and lose it," said Cain, who is 4-3 with a 3.16 ERA in his career against the Braves. "It stings to give up a hit to the opposing pitcher that ended up winning it." The RBI is the only one Garcia has this season, and the left-hander is just 3-for-19 (.158) at the plate. Garcia has been the Braves' most consistent starter, his 3.59 ERA deserving better than a 2-5 record. Garcia, who held the Giants to four hits over 6 2/3 scoreless innings at San Francisco, hadn't allowed more than four runs in any start before a five-run fifth inning against Miami in his most recent outing. He had a 1.49 ERA in his previous five starts. The left-hander spent his entire career with the St. Louis Cardinals before being traded to the Braves in the offseason, in part because he will become a free agent after this season. Being at the end of his contract also makes Garcia a trade possibility now as the July 31 non-waiver deadline draws nearer. "I really don't think about a trade," said Garcia, who is 4-1 with a 2.54 ERA in his career against the Giants. "I would love to call Atlanta home for my future, but that's out of my control right now." Another former St. Louis player, Matt Adams, is settling in with the Braves, too. Freddie Freeman, due to return to the Braves in mid-July from a broken left wrist, has begun working out at third base, a position switch that would allow Adams to stay at first base. Despite not playing at third base since high school, Freeman said, "I'm 100 percent go on it. My mindset is coming back as a third baseman." Freeman, who had 14 homers when injured, said he first mentioned the possible switch about two weeks ago and then began thinking more seriously about the move as Adams continued to post big numbers. Since coming to Atlanta in a trade with St. Louis on May 21, Adams is among the leaders in the majors with 11 home runs and 29 RBIs. "It says a lot about (Freeman) that the best player is going to do anything he can to make this team better," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. The Braves hit three homers Wednesday against the Giants, including a walk-off blast by Matt Kemp in the 11th inning for a 5-3 victory. The Giants (27-47) won two of three vs. Atlanta in San Francisco, but the Braves (33-38) have won two of the first three games at SunTrust Park going into the series finale. |
