Manager: Mike Matheny (sixth season)
Who's new? OF Dexter Fowler, C Eric Fryer, LH Brett Cecil
Who's gone? 1B Brandon Moss, OF Matt Holliday, OF Jeremy Hazelbaker, RHP Jaime Garcia, RHP Seth Maness, RHP Jerome Williams
Projected lineup: CF Dexter Fowler (.276, 13 HR, 48 RBI, 13 SB with Cubs), SS Aledmys Diaz (.300, 17, 65), 1B Matt Carpenter (.271, 21, 68), RF Stephen Piscotty (.273, 22, 85), C Yadier Molina (.307, 8, 58), 3B Jedd Gyorko (.243, 30, 59), 2B Kolten Wong (.240, 5, 23), LF Randal Grichuk (.240, 24, 68)
Rotation: RH Carlos Martinez (16-9, 3.04 ERA), RH Adam Wainwright (13-9, 4.62), RH Mike Leake (9-12, 4.69), RH Michael Wacha (7-7, 5.09), RH Lance Lynn (did not pitch - Tommy John surgery)
Key relievers: RH Seung-hwan Oh (6-3, 1.92 ERA 19/23 SV), LH Kevin Siegrist (6-3, 2.77), RH Trevor Rosenthal (2-4, 4.46, 14/18 SV), LH Brett Cecil (1-7, 3.93 with Blue Jays), RH Jonathan Broxton (4-2, 4.30), RH Matt Bowman (2-5, 3.46), RH Miguel Socolovich (1-0, 2.00)
Hot spots: Rotation. The back end looked like a big leap of faith when spring training began. Wainwright and Wacha are coming off their worst seasons. Another 2013 World Series mainstay, Lynn, didn't pitch last season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Then, on the first day of camp, 22-year-old right-hander Alex Reyes learned he needed Tommy John himself. That leaves a lot of question marks after ace Martinez ' more than any Cardinals staff has faced in years.
Outlook: This 40-man roster hints at a team in transition. Venerable 34-year-old catcher Molina is still St. Louis' biggest star. Reyes' injury hurts the youth movement, but the Cardinals are still stacked with talented 20-something sluggers ' Piscotty, Diaz, Gyorko and Grichuk ' who could emerge as household names. Adding Fowler's speed and patience should complement an already deep lineup. The pitching staff is a different matter. Barring a big resurgence from Wainwright, Lynn and Wacha (or a big trade) it's hard to see the Cardinals contending for more than a wild card spot in the Cubs' shadow. | | 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. |
| | Surging Rockies return home to face Cardinals
DENVER -- After going 7-3 on their longest road trip of the season, the Colorado Rockies will try to maintain their momentum when they return home to meet the St Louis Cardinals on Friday. Rookie Antonio Senzatela (6-1, 3.67 ERA) will start for the Rockies against Carlos Martinez (3-3, 3.28). Colorado, which is 12-3 in series openers, is 11-2-2 in series after winning road sets at Minnesota, Cincinnati and Philadelphia to improve to a National League-best 18-8 away from home. The Rockies are 13-10 at Coors Field, where they went 6-4 on their last homestand and where their stay will be rather brief -- three games against the Cardinals and two against the Seattle Mariners. The Rockies are in the midst of a stretch that includes 22 of 29 games on the road from May 16-June 14. The Cardinals are in their own unusual scheduling period. They play seven of 10 games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, a stretch broken up by the three games at Colorado. St. Louis fell 7-3 in the rubber game of their series at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, the Cardinals' sixth loss in eight games. In his last start Saturday, Senzatela, 22, wasn't involved in the decision in a 12-8 Colorado defeat at Cincinnati. He gave up five hits and a career-high four walks in five innings and left with an 8-4 lead after cracking the 100-pitch barrier for the first time at 105 pitches. After working at least six innings in six straight outings, Senzatela has pitched five innings in each of his past two starts, giving up 12 hits, eight runs and seven walks with 10 strikeouts. In five starts at Coors Field, Senzatela is 4-1 with a 3.77 ERA. He has never faced the Cardinals. Senzatela is one of four rookies to start this season for Colorado, a group that includes Kyle Freeman, German Marquez and Jeff Hoffman, who was recalled to make two spot starts in doubleheaders caused by rainouts. The Rockies are 19-7 in the 26 games started by the four rookies, and the quartet is a combined 16-5 with a 3.53 ERA. "There is a poise to these young guys in the rotation," Colorado manager Bud Black told the Denver Post. "These guys have a nice heartbeat. Their pulse is good. They don't scare off. And the catchers have done a great job with the collaboration and the dialogue. It's been good all over the place." Martinez has made nine starts, five of which the Cardinals have won. He is 1-2 with a 5.51 ERA in three starts on the road. In his last start, Saturday against the San Francisco Giants, Martinez allowed two hits in a career-high nine scoreless innings but wasn't involved in the decision when the Cardinals lost 3-1 in 13 innings. Opponents are hitting .205 overall against Martinez and .175 with runners in scoring position. Martinez is 2-0 with a 6.97 ERA in seven career games (three starts) against the Rockies and 2-0 with a 5.54 ERA in three games (two starts) at Coors Field. Cardinals center fielder Dexter Fowler, who began his career with the Rockies, broke an 0-for-20 slide when he led off the Thursday game with a single. He is hitting .205 with a .302 on-base percentage in his first season with St. Louis after batting .276 with a career-high .393 on-base percentage with the Chicago Cubs last season. For his career, he owns a .268 batting average and a .366 on-base percentage. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said he contemplated moving Fowler out of the leadoff spot, but mindful of the veteran's success there, would prefer to wait. "I know the kind of hitter that he is and can be, so I just don't come to too many conclusions and make too many radical adjustments right now," Matheny told MLB.com. "You can't take a month and a half of the season and say that our minds are made up." |
