Who's gone? C Matt Wieters, OF Nolan Reimold, INF/OF Steve Pearce, RHP Vance Worley, RHP Odrisamer Despaigne, LHP T.J. McFarland, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Tommy Hunter
Projected lineup: LF Hyun-Soo Kim (.302, 6 HR, 22 RBI), CF Adam Jones (.265, 29, 83), 3B Manny Machado (.294, 37, 96), 1B Chris Davis (.221, 38, 84), DH Mark Trumbo (.256, 47, 108), RF Seth Smith (.249, 16, 63 with Mariners), 2B Jonathan Schoop (.267, 25, 82), C Welington Castillo (.264, 14, 68 with Diamondbacks), SS J.J. Hardy (.269, 9, 48)
Rotation: RH Kevin Gausman (9-12, 3.61 ERA), RH Dylan Bundy (10-6, 4.02), LH Wade Miley (9-13, 5.37), RH Ubaldo Jimenez (8-12, 5.44), RH Mike Wright (3-4, 5.79) or Chris Lee (5-0, 2.98 at Double-A) or Gabriel Ynoa (1-0, 6.38 with Mets) or Tyler Wilson (4-6, 5.27) or Jayson Aquino (0-0, 0.00 in three games)
Key relievers: LH Zach Britton (2-1, 0.54, 47/47 SV), RH Brad Brach (10-4, 2.05), RH Darren O'Day (3-1, 3.77), RH Mychal Givens (8-2, 3.13), LH Donnie Hart (0-0, 0.49), LH Vidal Nuno (1-1, 3.53 with Mariners)
Hot spots: Fifth starter and bullpen. A shoulder injury in camp left 16-game winner Chris Tillman in doubt for opening day. That opened the floodgates for a pair of competitions that are somewhat intertwined, since the Orioles value long relievers more than perhaps any team. Wright and Wilson, who shuttled between the bullpen and the rotation last season, are the top candidates for the final rotation job. Aquino is a candidate to start or relieve. Logan Verrett, Richard Bleier and Zach Stewart are all potential long men. Keep an eye on Lee, a 24-year-old lefty who missed most of last season with a lat strain.
Outlook: Boston landed the biggest trade chip of the winter and Baltimore couldn't (or didn't try to) acquire the number-one starter it badly needed. When the dust settled, the Orioles look like another 80-something win team that will lean on its organizational depth to overachieve. Machado is already one of the five best players in the game, and at 24 his prime years might still lie ahead. Only three teams in history have had three 40-home run hitters, but Machado, Davis and Trumbo are capable of making it four. Expect some high-scoring games: the Orioles' outfield earned low marks on defense last year, while their starting rotation is iffy at best. Bridging the gap to closer Britton will be key. | | BOSTON: 2016: 93-69, first place
Manager: John Farrell (fifth season)
Who's new? LHP Chris Sale, RHP Tyler Thornburg, 1B Mitch Moreland, OF Steve Selsky
Who's gone? DH David Ortiz, 3B Travis Shaw, 3B Yoan Moncada, 2B Aaron Hill, C Ryan Hanigan, RHP Clay Buchholz, RHP Junichi Tazawa, RHP Koji Uehara, RHP Brad Ziegler
Projected lineup: 2B Dustin Pedroia (.318, 15 HR, 74 RBI), LF Andrew Benintendi (.295, 2, 14 in 34 games), SS Xander Bogaerts (.294, 21, 89, 13 SB), RH Mookie Betts (.318, 31, 113), DH Hanley Ramirez (.286, 30, 111) CF Jackie Bradley Jr. (.267, 26, 87), 3B Pablo Sandoval (.000, 0, 0 in three games), 1B Mitch Moreland (.233, 22, 60 with Rangers), C Sandy Leon (.310, 7, 35) or Christian Vazquez (.224, 1, 12)
Rotation: LH Chris Sale (17-10, 3.34 ERA), RH Rick Porcello (22-4, 3.15), RH Steven Wright (13-6, 3.33), LH Drew Pomeranz (3-5, 4.59), LH Eduardo Rodriguez (3-7, 4.71)
Key relievers: RH Craig Kimbrel (2-6, 3.40, 31/33 SV), RH Tyler Thornburg (8-5, 2.15 with Brewers), RH Joe Kelly (4-0, 5.18), LH Robbie Ross (3-2, 3.25), RH Matt Barnes (4-3, 4.05), LH Fernando Abad (1-6, 3.66 with Twins and Red Sox), RH Heath Hembree (4-1, 2.65)
Hot spots: Third base. Is this the year Sandoval is known more for his ability to play baseball than his physique? Sandoval, who missed all but three games last year because of a shoulder injury, showed up to spring training looking slimmer than years past. His production at the plate and agility on the field followed suit in the Grapefruit League. The Red Sox have shown they aren't afraid to take playing time away from the Panda if he doesn't deserve it. Josh Rutledge, a competent fielder and perhaps a better hitter against left-handers, is around just in case.
Outlook: Boston scored more runs than any team in baseball last year, and this year's club has the pitching to avoid another early playoff exit. Newcomer Sale is the best left-hander in the AL, an ace in his prime. Porcello is the reigning Cy Young Award winner. David Price, when he returns from an elbow injury, gives the Red Sox arguably the best 1-2-3 punch in the league. Ortiz retired, but he'll leave a bigger hole in the hearts of fans than in the lineup. Benintendi is a candidate for the AL Rookie of the Year award, while Betts played like an MVP at age 23. A bounceback season from Sandoval would give opposing pitchers no chance to breathe. Triple-A depth shouldn't be enough of an issue to prevent the Sox from challenging the Indians for the pennant. |
| | Orioles, Red Sox talk down beanball carryover
BOSTON -- Will there be a beanfest in Beantown? That is the big question ahead of the Baltimore Orioles' visit to Fenway Park for a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox that opens Monday night. The drama began April 21 in Baltimore, when Orioles third baseman Manny Machado spiked Boston's Dustin Pedroia on an eighth-inning slide at second base. Pedroia said he didn't think the play was dirty, but that wasn't good enough for Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes, who buzzed Machado's head with a pitch in the April 23 series finale. Barnes was ejected and suspended four games for the incident, and Pedroia has since spoken spoke out against the ill-advised head-hunting. Pedroia missed three games with left knee and ankle injuries that stemmed from the play, and Barnes returned from his suspension Sunday night to earn a win against the Chicago Cubs. Don't expect either side to be particularly keen to talk about last weekend's events. Boston's Hanley Ramirez, for one, has already moved on. "OK, no more talking about what happened in Baltimore. It's over," Ramirez said in the aftermath last week. "We're ready to play baseball out there and keep winning." Any retaliation from Baltimore could begin with right-hander Dylan Bundy (3-1, 1.65 ERA), who also started the game in which Machado injured Pedroia. But for now, he is playing coy. "I don't have any thoughts about it," Bundy said in New York on Sunday. "To me, that's blown over. We're playing baseball now. We try not to worry about stuff that we can't control, so we're just going to go in there and look to win." Bundy held Boston scoreless on six hits and a walk while fanning three over seven innings in the Orioles' 2-0 victory on April 21. His first start against the Red Sox this season didn't go as well. On April 11, he surrendered three runs on seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts in a 6 1/3-inning defeat at Fenway. Bundy is 2-3 with a 4.76 ERA in nine career outings (five starts) versus Boston. He is 1-1 with a 4.02 ERA in five prior appearances (two starts) at Fenway. He coughed up two solo home runs in a 6 1/3-inning no-decision against the Tampa Bay Rays last Wednesday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out three. Orioles manager Buck Showalter considered pushing Bundy back until Tuesday, but said in New York on Saturday that he decided to start him Monday. Pedroia is 6-for-15 (.400) with three RBIs lifetime against Bundy. Mookie Betts (5-for-15, .333) has a pair of homers and three RBIs versus the right-hander. Boston's Monday starter, Rick Porcello (1-3, 4.75 ERA), looks to reverse his early-season struggles after a rare four-walk game his last time out against the New York Yankees on Wednesday. The reigning American League Cy Young Award winner had not walked that many batters since May 29, 2014, a span of 88 starts. He allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and struck out nine. Like his counterpart, Porcello has also struggled against his Monday opponent, going 4-8 with a 4.88 ERA over 15 career starts against the Orioles. Adam Jones (11-for-45, .244) has three homers and nine RBIs against Porcello. Chris Davis (8-for-36, .222) and Mark Trumbo (8-for-26, .308) also have three homers and seven RBIs apiece off the right-hander. Baltimore (15-8) enters the series after losses in two of three games against the Yankees, while Boston (13-11) took two of three games against the visiting Cubs. The Orioles have won three of their first five games against the Red Sox this season with 14 left to play. Boston went 11-8 in its season series with Baltimore last year. |
