| |  | PHILADELPHIA: 2016: 71-91, fourth place
Manager: Pete Mackanin (third season)
Who's new? LF Howie Kendrick, RF Michael Saunders, C Ryan Hanigan, OF Chris Coghlan, RHP Clay Buchholz, RHP Joaquin Benoit
Who's gone? C A.J. Ellis, 1B Ryan Howard, INF Andres Blanco, OF Peter Bourjos, RHP Charlie Morton, RHP David Hernandez
Projected lineup: 2B Cesar Hernandez (.294, 6 HR, 39 RBI, 17 SB), LF Howie Kendrick (.255, 8, 40, 10 with Dodgers), CF Odubel Herrera (.286, 15, 49, 25), 3B Maikel Franco (.255, 25, 88), RF Michael Saunders (.253, 24, 57 with Blue Jays), 1B Tommy Joseph (.257, 21, 47), C Cameron Rupp (.252, 16, 54), SS Freddy Galvis (.241, 3, 20, 17 SB)
Rotation: RH Jeremy Hellickson (11-14, 3.65 ERA), RH Aaron Nola (6-9, 4.78), RH Clay Buchholz (8-10, 4.78 with Red Sox), RH Vince Velasquez (8-6, 4.12), Jerad Eickhoff (11-14, 3.65)
Key relievers: Jeanmar Gomez (3-5, 4.85, 37/43 SV), Joaquin Benoit (2-0, 0.38 with Blue Jays), Hector Neris (4-4, 2.58), Pat Neshek (2-2, 3.06 with Astros), Edubray Ramos (1-3, 3.83)
Hot spots: Shortstop and closer. Philadelphia is waiting for the arrival of J.P. Crawford, the marquee name in the farm system. Crawford struggled in his first exposure to Triple-A last year, batting .250 with seven home runs in 123 games. In the meantime shortstop belongs to Galvis, who had an MLB-worst .274 on-base percentage last season. Crawford will get a chance once he's deemed ready. Gomez had a 19.13 ERA last September, possibly opening the door for Ramos, Neris or newcomer Benoit to seize the closer's job in spring training.
Outlook: On the long road back to respectability, the Phillies appear closer to the end than the beginning. Young starters Nola, Velasquez and Eickhoff showed flashes of brilliance last year. So did center fielder Herrera, who was rewarded with a five-year contract extension. He's the only player on the roster with a guaranteed contract beyond this year. That points to 2017 as a major transition year with prospects and veterans auditioning for jobs in 2018 and beyond, when the Phillies can be active in free agency. | | CHICAGO CUBS: 2016: 103-58, won World Series
Manager: Joe Maddon (third season)
Who's new? OF Jon Jay, RHP Wade Davis, LHP Brett Anderson, RHP Koji Uehara, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Eddie Butler
Who's gone? OF Dexter Fowler, IF/OF Jorge Soler, LHP Aroldis Chapman, LHP Travis Wood, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jason Hammel
Projected lineup: LF Kyle Schwarber (.000, 0 HR, 0 RBI in two games), 3B Kris Bryant (.292, 39, 102), 1B Anthony Rizzo (.292, 32, 109), 2B Ben Zobrist (.272, 18, 76), SS Addison Russell (.238, 21, 95), RF Jason Heyward (.230, 7, 49, 11 SB), C Willson Contreras (.282, 12, 35), CF Jon Jay (.291, 2, 26 with Padres) or Albert Almora (.277, 3, 14 in 47 games)
Rotation: LH Jon Lester (19-5, 2.44 ERA), RH Jake Arrieta (18-8, 3.10), RH Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13), RH John Lackey (11-8, 3.35), LH Brett Anderson (1-2, 11.91 in four games with Dodgers) or LH Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.52 with Mariners and Cubs) or RH Eddie Butler (2-5, 7.17 with Rockies) or LH Rob Zastryzny (1-0, 1.13 ERA in eight games) or RH Alec Mills (0-0, 13.50 in three games with Royals)
Key relievers: RH Wade Davis (2-1, 1.87, 27/30 SV with Royals), RH Pedro Strop (2-2, 2.85), RH Hector Rondon (2-3, 3.53, 18/23 SV), RH Koji Uehara (2-3, 3.45, 7/9 SV with Red Sox), RH Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1, 3.75), RH Justin Grimm (2-1, 4.10), LH Brian Duensing (1-0, 4.05 with Royals)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter. Of all the candidates vying to replace Hammel, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent, most have plenty of upside but didn't log many innings last year. That includes Anderson, who had one productive season and one unproductive season for the Dodgers. Keep an eye on southpaw Montgomery, who tossed two shutouts as a starter for the Mariners in 2015, came to the Cubs last year in a midseason trade, then was effective as a reliever. Last time he was on the mound, he recorded the save in Game 7 of the World Series.
Outlook: There hasn't been a back-to-back champion this century. For opponents of the Cubs, that might be the most tangible nugget of hope. Most of the key players return from a powerhouse team that played historically good defense, got no fewer than 165 innings from each of its top five starters, and featured a deep lineup led by NL MVP Kris Bryant. In the bullpen, two-time All-Star Davis is capable of replacing closer Chapman if he's healthy. Among the Cubs' regular position players, only Zobrist and new center fielder Jay are over 30 ' everyone else is either entering or in the midst of his prime. This is a strong outlook. |
| | Phillies, Cubs open four-game series at Wrigley
CHICAGO -- Brett Anderson is still trying to solve left-handed batters, and control remains an occasional issue for the Chicago Cubs left-hander as he prepares to make his fifth start of the season Monday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. Even so, Cubs manager Joe Maddon thinks Anderson's best days are yet to come as his team opens a weeklong homestand. Anderson picked up his second victory on April 24, a 14-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. "It was really encouraging, a really good game to build on," Maddon said. "There's another level of him, and it's going to show very soon." Anderson (2-0, 3.54 ERA) goes against Phillies right-hander Vince Velasquez (1-2, 6.33 ERA) on Monday in the teams' first meeting this season and the start of a four-game Wrigley Field series. The defending World Series champion Cubs (13-11) dropped two of three to the Boston Red Sox, including a 6-2 Sunday loss at Fenway Park to wrap up a weekend interleague series and a 5-4 road trip. The Phillies (11-12) dropped all three games to the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend, including a 5-1 Sunday setback. Philadelphia came into that series riding a six-game winning streak. Anderson had a quality start last week in Pittsburgh, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits over six innings. He walked a career-high six but got 12 outs on ground balls. He also had a run-scoring single and drew a walk. "Technically it was a quality start, but in my mind it wasn't very quality," Anderson said after the game. "My offensive performance was better than my pitching." Left-handed batters are hitting .462 (6-for-13) against Anderson, who is holding right-handed batters to a .224 average (15-for-67). Anderson, acquired by the Cubs in an offseason free agent deal, is 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA in two career starts against the Phillies. Both came in 2015 while with the Dodgers. Velasquez is 1-2 with a 6.33 ERA in four starts and 21 1/3 innings this year, including back-to-back losses to start the season. In those two games, he was touched for nine runs while issuing seven walks in a total of nine innings. He since improved, allowing three runs in six innings during a no-decision on April 19 against the Mets, then earning his first win of the season on Wednesday at Miami, a 10-9 Phillies victory. "I was in control the whole way," Velasquez said of the outing against the Marlins in which he gave up three runs on six hits over a season-high 6 1/3 innings. "If I'm going to go deep in games, I've got to get ahead as soon as possible. Whatever it may be -- changeup, curveball, slider or whatever -- I've got to attack." Velasquez is 0-1 with a 12.60 all-time ERA in two starts against the Cubs. The Phillies are 4-8 on the road while the Cubs are a puzzling 4-5 at Wrigley Field so far after going 7-2 at home in the season's first month in 2016. |
