Manager: Brad Ausmus (fourth season).
He's Here: C Alex Avila, OF Mikie Mahtook.
He's Outta Here: OF Cameron Maybin, SS Erick Aybar, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, 3B Casey McGehee.
Projected lineup: 2B Ian Kinsler (.288, 28 HRs, 83 RBIs), 3B Nicholas Castellanos (.285, 18, 58 in 110 games), 1B Miguel Cabrera (.316, 38, 108), DH Victor Martinez (.289, 27, 86), RF J.D. Martinez (.307, 22, 68 in 120 games), LF Justin Upton (.246, 31, 87), C James McCann (.221, 12, 48) or Alex Avila (.213, 7, 11 with White Sox), CF Mikie Mahtook (.195, 3, 11 with Tampa Bay) or Tyler Collins (.235, 4, 15), SS Jose Iglesias (.255, 4, 32).
Rotation: RH Justin Verlander (16-9, 3.04 ERA, 254 Ks), RH Michael Fulmer (11-7, 3.06), RH Jordan Zimmermann (9-7, 4.87), LH Daniel Norris (4-2, 3.38), LH Matt Boyd (6-5, 4.53).
Key relievers: RH Francisco Rodriguez (3-4, 3.24, 44/49 saves), RH Bruce Rondon (5-2, 2.97), LH Justin Wilson (4-5, 4.14, 1 save), RH Alex Wilson (4-0, 2.96), RH Anibal Sanchez (7-13, 5.87 in 35 games, 26 starts).
Hot Spot: Back of Starting Rotation. Zimmermann and Norris could be major contributors if healthy, but the No. 5 spot in the rotation is much more uncertain. Sanchez has a big contract and some impressive career accomplishments, but he's 33 and coming off two straight disappointing seasons. Boyd was merely serviceable a season ago.
Outlook: The Tigers have made no secret of the fact that they'll need to cut costs soon, but they've generally put off doing so. Verlander, Cabrera and Kinsler are back, and Detroit is ready to make another bid for a postseason spot. The Tigers fell just short of a wild card last season, and the team's top players aren't getting any younger, so this could be the last shot for Detroit to win big before a significant overhaul. Verlander and Cabrera are still producing like stars, and Fulmer won Rookie of the Year honors last year. If the Tigers are going to take another step forward, they'll probably need Zimmermann and Norris to perform well after both dealt with injury problems a season ago. Speaking of injuries: J.D. Martinez sprained his right foot March 18 and is expected to miss the start of the season. The Tigers finished eight games behind Cleveland in 2016. Closing that gap won't be easy, and a lot might depend on whether Detroit can stay healthy. | | LA ANGELS: 2016: 74-88, fourth place
Manager: Mike Scioscia (18th season)
Who's new? C Martin Maldonado, 2B Danny Espinosa, INF Luis Valbuena, OF Ben Revere, OF Cameron Maybin, RHP Jesse Chavez, RHP Austin Adams, RHP Yusmeiro Petit

Projected lineup: 3B Yunel Escobar (.304, 5 HR, 39 RBI), RF Kole Calhoun (.271, 18, 75), CF Mike Trout (.315, 29, 100, 30 SB), DH Albert Pujols (.268, 31, 119), 1B C.J. Cron (.278, 16, 69) or Luis Valbuena (.260, 13, 40 in 90 games with Astros), LF Cameron Maybin (.315, 4, 43, 15 SB with Tigers), 2B Danny Espinosa (.209, 24, 72 with Nationals), SS Andrelton Simmons (.281, 4, 44, 10 in 124 games), C Martin Maldonado (.202, 8, 21 with Brewers) or Carlos Perez (.209, 5, 31)
Rotation: RH Garrett Richards (1-3, 2.34 in six starts), RH Matt Shoemaker (9-13, 3.88), LH Tyler Skaggs (3-4, 4.17), RH Ricky Nolasco (8-14, 4.42 with Twins and Angels), RH Jesse Chavez (2-2, 4.43 with Blue Jays and Dodgers) or RH Bud Norris (6-10, 5.10 for Braves and Dodgers)
Key relievers: RH Huston Street (3-2, 6.45, 9/12 SV), RH Cam Bedrosian (2-0, 1.12), RH Andrew Bailey (3-1, 5.36 6/7 SV for Phillies and Angels), RH J.C. Ramirez (2-1, 2.91), LH Jose Alvarez (1-3, 3.45), RH Austin Adams (0-0, 9.82 with Indians), RH Yusmeiro Petit (3-5, 4.30 with Nationals), RH Mike Morin (2-2, 4.37)
Hot spots: First base and fifth starter. Pujols started 23 games at first base last year, and will likely play fewer this year after offseason plantar fascia surgery. For now, Pujols is the primary DH, Cron is the first baseman, and Valbuena will begin the season on the DL with a strained hamstring. One problem: neither Cron (.698 OPS) nor Valbuena (.666) could hit lefties last year. The top candidates for fifth starter are similarly flawed. Chavez and Norris finished last season as relievers. Alex Meyer has six major league starts to his name. The Angels might need all of them at points in 2017.
Outlook: It's hard to be too optimistic about a team that's made one playoff appearance in seven years. Yet it's hard to be too pessimistic considering the hard-luck injuries that decimated the Angels in 2016, particularly on the pitching side. Still, 2017 figures to be a transition year. The back of the rotation is a patch job until Tommy John patients Andrew Heaney and Nick Tropeano return from rehab. The Angels will gain some financial freedom after the season, when Josh Hamilton finally comes off the books. Any positive momentum in the meantime would make Anaheim a more attractive destination for free agents. Getting back above .500 would be a realistic step in that direction; anything beyond that is a bonus |
| | Trout expected to return as Angels host Tigers
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Enough already. The Los Angeles Angels have been without Mike Trout for the past five games and six of the past seven. Not so coincidentally, they lost four of the six. However, Trout, the reigning American League MVP, is expected back Thursday when the Angels open a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers. Trout has been dealing with a sore left hamstring, and the club has erred on the side of caution. It is only May, so there is no reason to risk the injury becoming more serious. Trout had a light workout before the Wednesday game in Oakland, going through agility drills but not pushing himself too hard. "We're hoping that he comes out of it great (Wednesday), works out (Thursday) pregame and can play," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "But we don't want to miss any steps." The determination will be made after his workout Thursday afternoon at Angel Stadium, in which Trout will hit, take fly balls and run the bases. But as far as Trout is concerned, he is ready to go. "I'm coming (Thursday) thinking I'm going to play," Trout said. Trout is not used to sitting. The six games he has missed already this year are more than he missed in any of the past four seasons, when he played in 157, 157, 159 and 159. So he is itching to get back in the lineup. "Needless to say, he wants to play," Scioscia said. "Short of begging, he wants to be out there. That decision is a medical staff decision. If it was up to us, he'd be out there." The designated hitter spot has not been an option, according to Scioscia, even though Trout's hamstring is not affected when swinging the bat. The problem: If he hits the ball, he has to run the bases. "We would consider it, but a hamstring is a different animal," Scioscia said. "It's tough to sit down and stay warm between DH'ing. ... (But) as far as swinging the bat, he's great." Trout is riding a career-best, 17-game hitting streak, and he has hits in 22 of his past 23 games. During the 17-game streak, he is batting .391 (25-for-64) with five homers, six doubles, a triple, 16 runs and 11 RBIs. If Trout does play, he will have to bat against Tigers starter Michael Fulmer, who is one of the few who have pitched well against the Angels star -- even if it's a small sample size. Trout has six plate appearances against Fulmer, going 0-for-5 with a walk and four strikeouts. Overall against the Angels, Fulmer (3-1, 2.77 ERA) is 1-1 with a 2.13 ERA in two starts, with 12 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings. Speaking of sore left hamstrings, Detroit second baseman Ian Kinsler has missed the past five games since sustaining the injury May 3. Like Trout, Kinsler might be ready for the Thursday game. "Well, initially we thought it was going to be just three or four days," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus told MLB.com. "And when we got to five days, which was (Tuesday), we felt like we could DL him. But we could only backdate him three days. That meant he would have had to sit out another week. "We just felt like he was going to be ready much sooner than that. ... So it's probably good we didn't put him on the 10-day DL." The Angels will start JC Ramirez, who is settling nicely into a starting role after moving from the bullpen to replace the injured Garrett Richards. In his past two starts, Ramirez (3-2, 3.74 ERA) has given up a total of two runs and six hits in 12 1/3 innings, striking out 16 and walking four. In his career against Detroit, Ramirez has a 2.70 ERA in two relief appearances. |
