| | | CHI WHITE SOX: 2016: 78-84, fourth place.
Manager: Rick Renteria (first season).
He's Here: RHP Lucas Giolito, INF Yoan Moncada, LHP Derek Holland, RHP Reynaldo Lopez, C Geovany Soto, OF Peter Bourjos.
He's Outta Here: Manager Robin Ventura, LHP Chris Sale, OF Adam Eaton, OF Austin Jackson, DH Justin Morneau, C Alex Avila, RHP Matt Albers.
Projected lineup: CF Leury Garcia (.229, 1, 5 in 18 games, 48 ABs; .313, 6, 35, 18 SBs in 84 games at Triple-A Charlotte) or Jacob May (.266, 1, 24, 19 SBs in 83 games at Triple-A Charlotte), SS Tim Anderson (.283, 9, 30), LF Melky Cabrera (.296, 14, 86), 1B Jose Abreu (.293, 25, 100), 3B Todd Frazier (.225, 40, 98), RF Avisail Garcia (.245, 12, 51), DH Matt Davidson (missed much of last season with broken right foot), C Omar Narvaez (.267, 1, 10), 2B Tyler Saladino (.282, 8, 38).
Rotation: LH Jose Quintana (13-12, 3.20 ERA), RH Miguel Gonzalez (5-8, 3.73), LH Derek Holland (7-9, 4.95 ERA in 22 games with Texas), RH James Shields (6-19, 5.85 in 33 starts with Padres and White Sox), LH Carlos Rodon (9-10, 4.04).
Key relievers: RH David Robertson (5-3, 3.47, 37/44 saves), RH Nate Jones (5-3, 2.29, 3 saves), LH Dan Jennings (4-3, 2.08), RH Zach Putnam (1-0, 2.30), RH Michael Ynoa (1-0, 3.00).
Hot Spot: Triple-A Charlotte. With Giolito, Lopez and Moncada likely to begin the season in Triple-A, many White Sox fans might keep a closer watch on the Knights than the big league club. The development of the franchise's suddenly rich minor league system will help determine the trajectory of Chicago's new rebuilding project.
Outlook: Lots of losses and trades. Quintana and Frazier likely will be shipped out at some point this season, and Robertson also could be on the move in the right deal. The White Sox seem fully committed to a major overhaul, and they added several prospects when they traded away Sale and Eaton over the winter. But it could be a rough couple of years while general manager Rick Hahn tries to establish a more reliable pipeline of talent throughout the organization. In the meantime, the White Sox still have Anderson, who was impressive in his first major league stint last year. Abreu is going for his fourth straight season of at least 25 homers and 100 RBIs. | | 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. |
| | Lackey waves off bullpen talk as Cubs face White Sox
CHICAGO -- John Lackey is quick to dispel any notion that he is bound for the Chicago Cubs' bullpen. The veteran right-hander proved he could still pitch effectively last week against the Atlanta Braves, and he gets another chance to start Tuesday when the Cubs host the Chicago White Sox at Wrigley Field. "That ship has sailed, that ain't going to happen," Lackey said of being moved to a relief role. Lackey (6-9, 5.04 ERA) retired 12 of his last 15 batters in five effective innings last Tuesday at Atlanta, allowing one run and five hits. He dropped six of his previous seven decisions and was briefly sidelined with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. "There's two places for me to be -- starting or at home," Lackey said. "Except for the playoffs. In big games, we can compromise." Now Lackey is part of a reviving Cubs starting rotation that posted a 2.41 ERA and a 7-0 record through the first nine games following the All-Star break as the Cubs made up 5 1/2 games in the standings to tie Milwaukee atop the NL Central before Monday's 3-1 loss. Lackey is 4-7 with a 3.61 ERA in 17 career starts against the White Sox. He has pitched at least six innings in 15 straight starts against the White Sox, the longest active streak in the majors. Lackey, who held the White Sox to one run and four hits in his first start against them as a Cub last season, will be opposed Tuesday by Carlos Rodon. Rodon (1-3, 5.75 ERA) will attempt to give the White Sox consecutive wins for the first time since July 2-3. On Monday, Matt Davidson hit his 19th homer and Miguel Gonzalez pitched 7 1/3 innings to help the White Sox stop a nine-game losing streak. Rodon has experienced his own struggles as he makes his fifth appearance since returning from the disabled list on June 28. Dealing with left biceps bursitis that left him sidelined for the season's first three months also helped him develop mentally. "Every day has a purpose, and that was the main thing," Rodon said. "I was not as mature, I was a little young. (I thought) you roll out of bed and you can just throw." The left-hander took the loss in his most recent start, allowing five runs on seven hits (including a career-high four home runs) over 3 2/3 innings in a 9-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. "I thought it was going to be a pretty good one when I got out there," Rodon said. "I was throwing it well, ball was coming out good. I wasn't really missing down in the bullpen, but that doesn't matter when you're throwing that well down there. It's what happens in the game." Rodon makes his second career start against the Cubs after earning a win on July 10, 2015, at Wrigley Field. He allowed just two hits over six scoreless innings in that game. He is is 3-4 with a 6.10 ERA in eight career interleague starts. After the game at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, the White Sox and Cubs move across town for games Wednesday and Thursday at Guaranteed Rate Field. |
