| |  | KANSAS CITY: 2016: 81-81, third place.
Manager: Ned Yost (eighth season).
He's Here: OF Jorge Soler, RHP Jason Hammel, RHP Nathan Karns, DH Brandon Moss, LHP Travis Wood.
He's Outta Here: RHP Wade Davis, DH Kendrys Morales, OF Jarrod Dyson, RHP Luke Hochevar, RHP Edinson Volquez.
Projected lineup: SS Alcides Escobar (.261, 7 HRs, 55 RBIs), LF Alex Gordon (.220, 17, 40), CF Lorenzo Cain (.287, 9, 56), 1B Eric Hosmer (.266, 25, 104), DH Brandon Moss (.255, 28, 67), RF Jorge Soler (.238, 12, 31 with Cubs; likely to start season on DL with strained oblique), 3B Mike Moustakas (.240, 7, 13), C Salvador Perez (.247, 22, 64), Raul Mondesi (.185, 2, 13).
Rotation: LH Danny Duffy (12-3, 3.51 ERA, 188 Ks), RH Ian Kennedy (11-11, 3.68, 184 Ks), RH Jason Hammel (11-11, 3.83 with Cubs), LH Jason Vargas (0-0, 2.25 in 3 starts after returning from Tommy John surgery), RH Nathan Karns (6-2, 5.15 with Mariners).
Key relievers: RH Kelvin Herrera (2-6, 2.75, 12 saves), RH Joakim Soria (5-8, 4.05), LH Matt Strahm (2-2, 1.23), LH Travis Wood (4-0, 2.95), LH Scott Alexander (0-0, 3.32), RH Chris Young (3-9, 6.19).
Hot Spot: Starting Rotation. Duffy showed signs of blossoming into an ace late last year, but is yet to put it all together for a full season. Hammel was signed after the tragic death of RHP Yordano Ventura in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Vargas barely pitched last season after coming back from elbow surgery. Karns has intriguing potential, but might end up in the bullpen unless he lives up to it quickly.
Outlook: Royals GM Dayton Moore thinks his starting rotation is the best it has been during his tenure, even if just about every spot is tenuous. He also thinks Kansas City has more power at the plate this year thanks to Moustakas' return from a torn ACL and the signing of Moss. Paulo Orlando (.302, 5, 43, 14 SBs) will replace Soler in right field at the start of the season. But there are plenty of question marks up and down the lineup, not to mention on the pitching staff, and several things must break right for Kansas City to make noise in the AL Central and take a run at its third World Series appearance in four years. | | 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. |
| | Struggling offenses collide as White Sox host Royals
CHICAGO -- Both the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox will be trying to get back on track when they open a three-game series Monday night at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Royals have lost four straight and five of their past six, while the White Sox have dropped three of their past four. Both teams have been woeful on offense -- Chicago ranks 29th in the majors with 55 runs scored, and Kansas City is last with 46. "Our offense right now has obviously been struggling," Royals manager Ned Yost told the Kansas City Star on Sunday after he juggled his lineup. "We'll just try to get a little something going at the top of the order." Kansas City (7-11) scored just five runs in losing four consecutive games to the Texas Rangers. However, the Royals have recently dominated the White Sox. Last season, Kansas City went 14-5 against the White Sox, who have dropped six consecutive season series against Kansas City for the first time in franchise history. Chicago was 40-72 against the Royals during that period. The teams are meeting for the first time this season as the White Sox wrap up a six-game homestand. Chicago beat the Cleveland Indians 6-2 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep by the reigning American League champions. Left-hander Jason Vargas -- who is 3-0 and leads the AL with a 0.44 ERA -- is scheduled to start Monday for the Royals. He has won each of his first three starts while allowing one run in 20 2/3 innings. Vargas threw 14 2/3 scoreless innings against the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants in his last two outings. Vargas missed most of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. "I just feel that I'm not having to deal with the nagging issues that my elbow was giving me," Vargas told the Star after his last start. "I think even before it was really hurt, (it was) just dealing with those aches that work themselves out." However, Vargas has struggled against the White Sox. He is 1-2 with a 6.85 ERA and given up 12 home runs in nine career games against Chicago. Miguel Gonzalez (2-0, 2.84 ERA) will start for the White Sox. He is 6-5 with a 2.75 ERA in his past 16 starts. In his last start, the right-hander allowed a run and four hits in 8 1/3 shutout innings against the New York Yankees. He is 1-5 with a 4.36 ERA in eight career starts against the Royals. "I just go out there and compete," Gonzalez told MLB.com after his start against New York. "That's my goal. Every time I go out there, I try to do six-plus innings. Quality innings are important, quality starts as well." The rebuilding White Sox (8-9) will look to continue their offensive momentum after they ended a 23-inning scoreless streak with three runs in the first inning Sunday against Cleveland. "We're in a good position, where we are now," White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson said. "A win like this can definitely be something we can build off of." |
