| |  | MINNESOTA: 2016: 59-103, fifth place.
Manager: Paul Molitor (third season).
He's Here: C Jason Castro, RHP Matt Belisle, SS Ehire Adrianza, LHP Craig Breslow.
He's Outta Here: 3B Trevor Plouffe, C Kurt Suzuki, LHP Tommy Milone, RHP Pat Light.
Projected lineup: 2B Brian Dozier (.268, 42, 99, 18/20 SBs), RF Max Kepler (.235, 17, 63), CF Byron Buxton (.225, 10 HRs, 38 RBIs, 118 Ks in 298 ABs), 1B Joe Mauer (.261, 11, 49), 3B Miguel Sano (.236, 25, 66, 178 Ks in 437 ABs), DH Kennys Vargas (.230, 10, 20 in 152 ABs), LF Eddie Rosario (.269, 10, 32), C Jason Castro (.210, 11, 32 with Houston), SS Jorge Polanco (.282, 4, 27 in 245 ABs).
Rotation: RH Ervin Santana (7-11, 3.38 ERA, 149 Ks), RH Phil Hughes (1-7, 5.95, 11 HRs, 11 starts), LH Hector Santiago (3-6, 5.58, 13 HRs, 11 starts after trade with Angels), RH Kyle Gibson (6-11, 5.07, 1.561 WHIP), LH Adalberto Mejia (rookie).
Key relievers: RH Brandon Kintzler (0-2, 3.15, 17/20 saves), RH Matt Belisle (0-0, 1.76 in 40 games for Nationals), RH Ryan Pressly (6-7, 3.70, 1 save in 72 games), LH Taylor Rogers (3-1, 3.96, 64 Ks in 57 games), LH Craig Breslow (0-2, 4.50 in 15 games for Marlins).
Hot Spot: Starting Rotation. The resuscitation of a team with the worst record in the majors last season must begin with starting pitching that ranked 30th out of 30 in wins (37), ERA (5.39) and strikeouts (655). Hughes, Santiago, Gibson and Berrios will all be counted on to make 2016 the aberration and not the standard. Adding Castro, who has a strong reputation for game calling and pitch framing, probably can't hurt. There's enough depth in the group at least to give the Twins a chance to return to respectability as new baseball chief Derek Falvey continues to try to revamp organizational philosophy and process for the long term. The bullpen appears more vulnerable than the rotation, despite being bolstered by the addition of the veteran Belisle. Three-time All-Star closer Glen Perkins is still working his way back from surgery last year to repair a torn labrum and will likely land on the disabled list to start the season. Kintzler fared well in his place, but doesn't have a track record.
Outlook: The Twins ranked a respectable sixth in the American League in total bases and eighth in OPS despite their abysmal record last year. Buxton's sparkling September, following a second straight frustrating summer, restored his and the club's confidence in the 2012 second overall draft pick. Dozier probably hit his power ceiling in 2016, but if Buxton and Sano can strike out less and get on base more there's the potential in place for a productive offense. Vargas hit his way back into contention for the DH spot with a decent finish to 2016, but the pressure is on him to prove he's worth a spot in the lineup with a strong performance this spring by Park, who struggled badly to adjust to major league pitching in his arrival from South Korea last year. | | 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. |
| | White Sox, Twins resume Thursday with Chicago aiming to end skid
CHICAGO -- With his team scuffling and in the midst of a four-game losing streak, Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria is attempting to stay about his business as much as possible. The White Sox have struggled to score runs at times, which has caused them to drop to under .500 heading into Thursday's series finale against the Minnesota Twins. Wednesday's game was cancelled because of rain and will be made up as part of a straight doubleheader on Aug. 21. Phil Hughes (4-1) will take the mound for the Twins while the White Sox will counter with Derek Holland (3-2) Thursday when Chicago will look to rediscover the win column for the first time since May 4. For his part, Renteria is expecting his team to stay the course. "I think obviously there's an ebb and flow in the game of baseball, we all know it, everybody's seen it," Renteria said Wednesday. "Everybody takes a different tack (to dealing with struggles). I think these guys, personally I just try to stay as relaxed as possible and stay as positive as possible because it's not something to truly panic over. "I think it's just a part of the game and you know you're going to get through it." The Twins enter Thursday's game having won four of their last six games. Offensive production hasn't been as much of an issue for Minnesota as it has been for the White Sox of late. Minnesota's offense should be more at full strength as third baseman Miguel Sano returns to the lineup after serving a one-game suspension on Tuesday. Second baseman Brian Dozier (sprained ankle) could also return for the first time since Friday. Manager Paul Molitor said Dozier was available on Wednesday, but that he was leaning toward not using him because of the weather conditions. But as Minnesota attempts to keep its winning ways going, making adjustments as needed will be part of the plan. On Wednesday, the Twins added depth to their bullpen when they claimed left-hander Adam Wilk off waivers from the New York Mets. To make room on their 25-man roster, the Twins optioned right-hander Drew Rucinski to Triple-A Rochester. Molitor said Wilk will be likely be used in the bullpen despite the Twins attempting to firm up their starting rotation over the next couple of days. Wilk went 2-3 with a 5.91 ERA in six starts at Triple-A Las Vegas this season. In 32 innings, he struck out 29 and walked five. He made an emergency start on Sunday for the Mets and gave up five earned runs and three home runs over 3 2/3 innings. While the Twins attempt to get their pitching in order, Molitor said that his team's defense has been solid enough to keep his team on the winning side of the .500 mark. "We've played well at times, but there's a lot of things that we can do better," Molitor said Wednesday. "I think these guys know how we're trying to defend people and what we're trying to do to at least increase our chances of getting outs and so we all just kind of work together." |
