| | | 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. |
| | Starting pitchers on spot after Nats-Rockies slugfest
DENVER -- The Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies will continue their four-game series Wednesday with each club hoping its starting pitcher can go reasonably deep after what unfolded Tuesday at Coors Field. In the Nationals' 15-12 win, neither Colorado's German Marquez nor Washington's Joe Ross lasted five innings. Tyler Chatwood will start for the Rockies on Wednesday against Washington's Tanner Roark. Chatwood (2-2, 4.10 ERA) won his past two starts, both against the San Francisco Giants. He is 0-0 with a 1.50 ERA against the Nationals, having made one career start against them in 2013 at Washington when he pitched six innings and allowed one run on four hits. Roark (2-0, 3.65 ERA) last started Friday at New York, where he held the Mets to three runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. He wasn't involved in the decision as the Nationals won 4-3. He has thrown one scoreless inning against the Rockies in his career, during a relief appearance at Coors Field in 2015. Each starting pitcher figures to be dealing with a hot opposing hitter Wednesday. Rockies catcher Tony Wolters and Nationals shortstop Trea Turner have found hitting grooves, a historic one in the case of Turner, who hit for the cycle for the first time Tuesday with and knocked in a career-high seven runs. Wolters' priority is defense, and he has done a good job working with the Rockies pitchers. He typically bats eighth, but he is continuing an offensive surge that began after the All-Star break last season, when he hit .321 (27-for-94) in 29 games with six doubles, one triple, two homers and 12 RBIs. In Colorado's loss Tuesday, Wolters went 2-for-4 with an opposite-field single to left, a double to right-center and an RBI, raising his average to .366 (15-for-41). With Tom Murphy on the disabled list, Wolters, who was Nick Hundley's backup last year, has become the starting catcher. "His intent is to use the whole field," Rockies manager Bud Black said. "He's done a really good job of controlling the strike zone, taking balls and swinging at strikes. "We feel as though what Tony brings with the bat is potentially production. It might not be a lot of power, but I think there can be a ball in the gap, there can be a ball down either line. There's a tough two-strike approach in there that we like." Before Turner's memorable game Tuesday, he had never driven in more than three runs in a game. As a rookie last year, Turner hit .342/.370/.567 with 13 homers, 40 RBIs and 33 stolen bases in 73 games. He made 44 starts in center field and two at second base. He is playing shortstop this season. Turner went on the 10-day disabled list April 9 with a right hamstring strain and was reinstated April 21. He went 4-for-13 in three starts after coming off the DL before going 4-for-6 with four runs in his huge game Tuesday. "It's elite talent and he's a grinder," Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy said of his double-play partner. "Doesn't give away pitches (on) offense or defense. So you take someone who's immensely talented like he is and then they're engaged on every single pitch, I think special things happen, which is what we saw this evening." |
