|
| |  | SEATTLE: HITTING: C/DH JESUS MONTERO was brought over from the Yankees to hit in the heart of the order. At age 22, his offensive potential is scary. OF ICHIRO SUZUKI is entering the twilight of his career, but he might still have another .300 season left. 2B DUSTIN ACKLEY is the kind of line-drive hitter who fits well in Safeco, but he needs to catch up to MLB pitching. 1B JUSTIN SMOAK has disappointed, but he's making strides and has 30-HR upside. OF CASPER WELLS could play everyday. He won't hit for average, but has the power Seattle needs. MIKE CARP figures to at least grab early at-bats against righties. He'll strike out, but has lots of power. OF FRANKLIN GUTIERREZ is out for at least a month with a pectoral injury, but will reclaim his starting gig based on his defense. Seattle would love to see OF MICHAEL SAUNDERS step up to replace Gutierrez, but he's shown no signs of being able to handle MLB pitching. C MIGUEL OLIVO still has solid power, but he's an all-or-nothing hitter. 3B CHONE FIGGINS isn't quite done, but he's close. He'll have to battle line-drive hitting KYLE SEAGER for a job. SS BRENDAN RYAN will stick around for defense, but his bat is barely good enough for a regular gig.
STARTING PITCHING: FELIX HERNANDEZ had a touch of bad luck last year, but he's one of the few pitchers in baseball who's a lock for 200 strikeouts. JASON VARGAS just keeps throwing strikes and letting his defense make plays. He'll get by fine again in spacious Safeco. BLAKE BEAVAN doesn't have a strikeout pitch, but he'll make few mistakes and get some outs thanks to a strong defense. HECTOR NOESI, who also came over from New York with Montero, isn't a big strikeout pitcher, but has good control and is savvy enough to get his shot in Seattle's rotation this year. 37-year-old journeyman KEVIN MILLWOOD will fill out the fifth spot in the rotation after a solid spring. Top prospect DANNY HULTZEN could break into the bigs in 2012. The lefty has the polish of a big leaguer right now, though his ceiling is more good-not-great.
RELIEF PITCHING: Like many rebuilding teams, the Mariners will continue to shop their closer. BRANDON LEAGUE will pick up saves in Seattle, but he's more of a groundball pitcher than a strikeout artist. He'd likely be ticketed for a set-up role elsewhere. If League is traded, the closer role is wide open. SHAWN KELLEY came back from Tommy John surgery late last year and looked as good as ever. If he picks up where he left off last year, he'd be an obvious choice for ninth inning duties. CHANCE RUFFIN, part of the Doug Fister trade, has a strong minor-league track record. He could carve out a big role in this bullpen if he can improve his command. | | LA ANGELS: HITTING: SS ERICK AYBAR will likely get another crack at the leadoff spot by default. DH/OF BOBBY ABREU can still draw walks and run a little. 2B HOWIE KENDRICK traded batting average for more power last year. He's still one of baseball's better middle infield bats. 1B ALBERT PUJOLS should benefit from DH-ing a couple of times a year. OF TORII HUNTER is fading fast and may not provide middle-of-the-order power. OF VERNON WELLS has a better chance than Hunter to bounce back, and the Angels have to be patient considering his monster contract. MARK TRUMBO will get a look at 3B. If he can't get it done, ALBERTO CALLASPO would start and Trumbo would back-up first and DH. Speedy OF PETER BOURJOS will start in left, and top prospect MIKE TROUT will soon replace free agents-to-be Abreu or Hunter. KENDRYS MORALES could DH regularly if his ankle is healthy. CHRIS IANNETTA is no Mike Napoli, but he's a monster upgrade over Jeff Mathis.
STARTING PITCHING: JERED WEAVER had a lot of things go right in 2011, and it's not hard to picture him as a Cy Young candidate again. But he faded late in the year, and may not belong in the upper echelon or pitchers. A cutter has led to DAN HAREN's rebirth. He's right there with Weaver, just a step behind the elite arms. C.J. WILSON may not get the same run support, but he should benefit from getting out of hitter-friendly Arlington; he had a 2.31 road ERA last year. ERVIN SANTANA never developed into a top-of-the-line starter, but he's become more consistent and settled in as a solid starter. Once a washed-out former prospect, JEROME WILLIAMS came back to the States from Taiwan and delivered three quality starts last September. He's not likely to have sustained success, but he does have the inside track for a rotation spot. Middling prospect GARRETT RICHARDS seems like the most likely candidate to step into the rotation in case of injury.
RELIEF PITCHING: JORDAN WALDEN will have the closer's role again entering the spring, but while he was overpowering he was also very shaky at times. He gave up seven runs over 2.2 innings in his last three appearances. RICH THOMPSON decided to lean on his cutter last year and the results were excellent. If Walden slips up, Thompson has to be in the closer conversation. LaTROY HAWKINS was solid with Milwaukee (2.42 ERA) and joins his ninth different team since 2003. He is expected to set up Walden as well. Lefty SCOTT DOWNS was far from dominant last year, despite his 1.34 ERA. But Scioscia does trust him in high-leverage situations, making him a possible fallback if Walden struggles. The Angels don't seem to have big plans for HISANORI TAKAHASHI, the most well-compensated long reliever in baseball. |

*Mariners-Angels Preview* =========================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Seattle (67-87) at Los Angeles (75-78), 9:05 p.m. EDT
The Los Angeles Angels have been all but eliminated from playoff contention but don't appear content to go quietly into the offseason.
Jerome Williams will try to help send the Angels to their 21st win in 28 games by winning his fourth straight start Saturday night against the Seattle Mariners, losers in 10 of 12.
Los Angeles (75-78) staved off elimination by rallying for a 3-2 win in 11 innings in Friday's series opener. Andrew Romine hit a tying two-run single in the seventh and Chris Iannetta drove in the winning run.
"We're still working hard and trying to win some games at the end of the season," Iannetta said.
Williams (8-10, 4.65 ERA) will try to deliver the Angels' fifth victory in six home games by recording his longest win streak of the season. The right-hander, who may be vying for a spot in next year's rotation, gave up one run and five hits over seven innings in a 2-1 win in Houston on Sunday.
"This team is a real good team. I would love to come back and be part of this team and hopefully make that run for next year," Williams said. "I just have to keep on working. I think I have two more starts, and I just have to keep building on it."
Williams has had two vastly different starts against the Mariners (67-87) this season. He allowed six runs over 3 1-3 innings in an 8-3 road loss July 12 and went eight innings in a 12-0 rout in Anaheim on May 21.
Seattle is 1-6 there this year and has lost four straight overall in the series. Former Angel Joe Saunders (11-15, 5.16) seems unlikely to change that given his recent efforts.
The left-hander is 0-2 with a 9.35 ERA in his last two starts and 2-7 with a 7.07 ERA in his past 11. Saunders, however, had a solid outing Monday in Detroit, giving up three runs over 5 2-3 innings in a 4-2 loss.
"I thought Joe threw the ball well against a tough lineup," manager Eric Wedge told the teams' website.
Saunders is 1-2 with a 1.29 ERA in three starts against his former club. He pitched a complete game in a 1-0 loss in Anaheim on June 19 and tossed seven scoreless innings while starting opposite Williams on July 12.
Raul Ibanez is 5 for 10 all-time against Williams, and has gone 3 for 5 with a home run and a double this season.
Iannetta, Josh Hamilton and Howie Kendrick are a combined 0 for 17 against Saunders this season. Hamilton has struck out three times in his six at-bats.
