| | | WASHINGTON: Manager: Dusty Baker (second season)
Who's new? CF Adam Eaton, C Matt Wieters, 1B Adam Lind, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Joe Blanton
Who's gone? CF Ben Revere, C Wilson Ramos, RHP Lucas Giolito, RHP Mat Latos, LHP Sean Burnett, RHP Mark Melancon, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Projected lineup: CF Adam Eaton (.284, 14 HR, 59 RBI, 14 SB with White Sox), SS Trea Turner (.342, 13, 40, 33), 2B Daniel Murphy (.347, 25, 104), RF Bryce Harper (.243, 24, 86, 21 SB), 3B Anthony Rendon (.270, 20, 85), LF Jayson Werth (.244, 21, 69), 1B Ryan Zimmerman (.218, 15, 46) or Adam Lind (.239, 20, 58 with Mariners), C Matt Wieters (.243, 17, 66 with Orioles)
Rotation: RH Max Scherzer (20-7, 2.96 ERA), RH Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83), LH Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57), RH Stephen Strasburg (15-4, 3.60), RH Joe Ross (7-5, 3.43)
Key relievers: RH Shawn Kelley (3-2, 2.64), RH Joe Blanton (7-2, 2.48), RH Blake Treinen (4-1, 2.28), LH Sammy Solis (2-4, 2.41), RH Trevor Gott (0-0, 1.50), LH Oliver Perez (2-3, 4.95), LH Enny Romero (2-0, 5.91 with Rays)
Hot spots: First base and closer. Zimmerman posted a career-low .642 OPS last season and was often spelled by left-handed hitter Clint Robinson. Now 32, Zimmerman must prove he's worthy of regular playing time. Robinson and free-agent pickup Lind are next in line. The ninth inning could be a committee job too, though it's never been the Nationals' preferred method. After Kenley Jansen spurned D.C. for less money in L.A., their choices were limited. Kelley and Blanton have never closed in a combined 20 seasons in the majors, but both were stalwart set-up men last season. Joe Nathan and his 377 career saves are also in camp on a minor-league deal.
Outlook: Trading former top prospect Lucas Giolito to the White Sox for Eaton signaled the Nationals' championship ambitions. Their five-game loss to the Dodgers last October marked the third time in five years they've fallen just short of the NLCS. Washington begins the season with some familiar weapons ' a dangerous heart of the lineup, an experienced bench and exceptional starting pitching. Eaton is a huge upgrade over Revere at the plate, but Wieters will be pressed to replace Ramos' 3.5 wins above replacement (via FanGraphs). Failing to sign a marquee closer could prove fatal if Kelley, Nathan or someone else can't hold down the ninth inning. | | COLORADO: 2016: 75-87, third place
Manager: Bud Black (first season)
Who's new? 1B Ian Desmond, IF Alexi Amarista, RHP Greg Holland, LHP Mike Dunn
Who's gone? Manager Walt Weiss, LHP Jorge De La Rosa, RHP Eddie Butler, LHP Boone Logan, C Nick Hundley, IF Daniel Descalso, OF Ryan Raburn
Projected lineup: CF Charlie Blackmon (.324, 29 HR, 82 RBI, 17 SB), 2B D.J. LeMahieu (.348, 11, 66, 11), 3B Nolan Arenado (.294, 41, 133), RF Carlos Gonzalez (.298, 25, 100), 1B Mark Reynolds (.282, 14, 53), LF David Dahl (.315, 7, 24) or Gerardo Parra (.253, 7, 39), SS Trevor Story (.272, 27, 72), C Tony Wolters (.259, 3, 30)
Rotation: RH Jon Gray (10-10, 4.61 ERA), RH Tyler Chatwood (12-9, 3.87), LH Tyler Anderson (5-6, 3.54), LH Kyle Freeland (6-3, 3.91 at Triple-A), RH German Marquez (1-1, 5.23)
Key relievers: Greg Holland (did not pitch in 2016), Adam Ottavino (1-3, 2.67, 7/12 SV), Mike Dunn (6-1, 3.40, 4/8 SV with Marlins), Jake McGee (2-3, 4.73, 15/19 SV), Jordan Lyles (4-5, 5.83), Chad Qualls (2-0, 5.23), Chris Rusin (3-5, 3.74), Carlos Estevez (3-7, 5.24, 11/18 SV)
Hot spots: Catcher and closer. Wolters was 23 years old and hadn't played a game above Double-A last year when the Rockies claimed him off waivers from Cleveland. Now he's the most experienced catcher on the Rockies' 40-man roster, having played 71 major league games. A pitch-framing specialist with rare agility behind the plate, Wolters must coax pitchers through Coors Field and its occasional malefactions. While Colorado's rotation is the best it's looked in years, the ninth inning could be an adventure. Seven pitchers recorded a save for the Rockies in 2016. Now, a man who hasn't thrown a competitive pitch since 2015 might be their best option. Holland, 31, saved 125 games for the Royals from 2013-15 before elbow surgery paused his career. Ottavino will close if Holland can't.
Outlook: The Rockies probably won't catch the Dodgers or Giants this season, but a .500 record or better would be a big boost for their rebuilding movement. Black skippered the Padres from 2007-15, then spent last year in the Angels' front office. His first task: keeping morale steady after a spate of injuries and illness struck the clubhouse. The Rockies' biggest offseason acquisition was veteran Desmond, but he'll miss the beginning of the season with a fractured hand. Pitcher Chad Bettis, who led the Rockies with 32 starts last year, is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for testicular cancer. Backup catcher Tom Murphy (hairline fracture in forearm) and outfielder Dahl (ribs) could also start the season on the DL. If they can get past these early hurdles, the Rockies will be competitive at worst and dangerous at best. |
| | Hot teams collide as Rockies battle Nationals
DENVER -- The two teams with the best records in the National League will tangle when the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals begin a four-game series Monday at Coors Field. The Rockies (13-6) are coming off a three-game home sweep of the San Francisco Giants and have won six of their past seven games. The Nationals (13-5) have won seven straight, matching their longest winning streak of last season. The first six wins in this streak came on their 10-game road trip that will end in Denver after visits to face the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets. Overall, the Nationals are 7-2 on the road. "Every good team (has) to play good on the road, so we got a good head start," Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. "You want to be .500 or better on the road. Most of my teams are. Most of it is just sheer determination and playing good ball. And you have to have good pitching. You've got to have good bullpen help, because the ninth inning is tough -- the bottom of the ninth. Even when I was a kid, me and my brother would play who would have last ups, and he'd always want first ups. And I'd always want last ups." Rockies left-hander Tyler Anderson will try to get his season moving in the right direction when he starts Monday. Anderson is 1-3 with a 7.32 ERA in four starts, with three consecutive losses. After making 12 quality starts in 19 outings as a rookie last year, Anderson has yet to pitch six innings in a game this season. He will be making his first career start against the Nationals. The Rockies outscored the Giants 26-8 in their series sweep, and Charlie Blackmon has been a big reason for Colorado's offensive revival. After beginning the season 2-for-19, Blackmon has hit safely in eight straight games and 13 of his past 14, going 18-for-55 (.327) in that stretch with three doubles, three triples, five homers, 13 RBIs and nine runs to raise his average from .105 to .270. "Charlie's an all-field hitter for me," Rockies manager Bud Black said Sunday after an 8-0 win over the Giants in which Blackmon led off with a triple for the second consecutive game and doubled home two runs. "Just watching through spring training, watching his work in batting practice. "He's capable of doing what he's done the last couple nights. Fastball yesterday ripped down the first base line, beat (Brandon) Belt to the bag, triple. Home run to straightaway center. Ball off the wall in right-center leading off the game (Sunday). Double down the left field line. "The old adage, hit it where it's pitched -- that's Charlie. A ball away, he'll take the other way. He can drive the ball to the middle of the field, and he can turn on a ball. He's a good hitter." The Nationals will add right-hander Jacob Turner to their roster Monday to make a spot start against the Rockies in the series opener. Stephen Strasburg, who was scheduled to pitch Tuesday, is going to be placed on paternity leave Monday. He will miss three days and won't pitch at Coors Field. Joe Ross will get an extra day of rest before he starts Tuesday, and Ross will followed by Tanner Roark and Gio Gonzalez. Turner was lifted from his Thursday start for Triple-A Syracuse after 1 2/3 innings and 31 pitches. He is 0-0 with a 2.61 ERA in three starts for Syracuse. Turner last pitched in the majors on Oct. 2 for the Chicago White Sox. He is 12-27 with a 5.09 ERA in 79 career games, including 53 starts. Against the Rockies, Turner is 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA in three career starts in 2013 and 2014 while with the Miami Marlins. In his lone start at Coors Field, he took a loss in 2013, allowing two runs in six innings. |
