| | | 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. | | 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. |
| | Wood looks to get into routine as Royals go for sweep of White Sox
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Travis Wood is excited about pitching with a normal four days between starts. Wood starts Sunday for the Kansas City Royals against the Chicago White Sox in the finale of this three-game series. Chicago is on an eight-game losing streak and will counter with left-hander Derek Holland. Wood will be making his third start of the season. He made his last relief appearance on June 25 and his first start on July 2, a no-decision against the Minnesota Twins. He threw 81 pitches and labored through four innings, allowing two runs. With the All-Star break and the No. 5 starter, Wood did not pitch again until Tuesday, going 15 days between starts. "Especially getting into that five-day routine is big," Wood said. He took the loss Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers, giving up six runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. Most of the damage was done in the second inning when he surrendered five runs and six hits with the first four batters reaching base. "The first one was whatever," Wood said of his initial start. "I always like to stay out there longer, but I knew I was on a pitch count. I was fairly pleased with that one." "Other than the second inning of the last start, I was happy with it. They got to me in the second. I wasn't able to shut them off before they scored five. After that, I thought it was pretty good." Wood is 0-1 with an 8.64 ERA in his two starts, allowing eight runs and 15 hits. Opponents are hitting .429 with a .762 slugging percent and a 1.171 OPS in his two starts. The White Sox are a young, rebuilding team that traded away Jose Quintana, Todd Frazier, David Robertson and Tommy Kanhle since July 13 for a plethora of prospects. "I knew that, obviously, was a possibility, because we had spoken of it," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. "The fact that they've been able to do as much as they have, in this short period of time, is kind of impressive. "I know that most guys in your particular clubhouse start to see all the changes and sometimes start to worry about 'where do I fit in.' I think that the biggest message that I can give our players is to simply keep playing the way we'd like you to play as White Sox. And you end up putting yourself in the position that you need to be in order to maybe solidify remaining as part of the system." Holland, a veteran left-hander signed to a one-year contract, is another player the White Sox could move before the end of the month. Holland is 3-1 with a 3.72 ERA against the Royals. He earned a win over them on May 4, allowing two runs (one unearned) and three hits in 6 2/3 innings. The White Sox will be attempting to snap their losing streak after falling 7-2 on Saturday in a game when Melky Cabrera went 4-for-4. The Royals will try to end their homestand with five straight victories after Mike Moustakas hit two of their five homers. |
