Who's gone? 1B Mitch Moreland, INF/OF Ian Desmond, OF/DH Carlos Beltran, RHP Derek Holland, RHP Colby Lewis, RHP Shawn Tolleson, RHP Lucas Harrell
Projected lineup: CF Carlos Gomez (.231, 13 HR, 53 RBI, 18 SB in 118 games with Astros and Rangers), DH Shin-Soo Choo (.242, 7, 17, 6 in 48 games), 3B Adrian Beltre (.300, 32, 104), 1B Mike Napoli (.239, 34, 101 with Indians), 2B Rougned Odor (.271, 33, 88, 14 SB), C Jonathan Lucroy (.292, 24, 81 with Brewers and Rangers), RF Nomar Mazara (.266, 20, 64), SS Elvis Andrus (.302, 8, 69, 24 SB), LF Jurickson Profar (.239, 5, 20) or Ryan Rua (.258, 8, 22, 9 SB)
Rotation: LH Cole Hamels (15-5, 3.32 ERA), RH Yu Darvish (7-5, 3.42 in 17 games), LH Martin Perez (10-11, 4.39), RH A.J. Griffin (7-4, 5.07), RH Andrew Cashner (5-11, 5.25 with Padres and Marlins)
Key relievers: RH Sam Dyson (3-2, 2.43, 38/43 SV), RH Matt Bush (7-2, 2.48), RH Jeremy Jeffress (27/28 SV with Brewers and Rangers), RH Tony Barnette (7-3, 2.09), LH Alex Claudio (4-1, 2.79), RH Keone Kela (5-1, 6.09)
Hot spots: Designated hitter and left field. Choo, Napoli and Joey Gallo are all candidates to DH. Gallo, a perennial prospect with prodigious power, can make it interesting by seizing his first-ever Opening Day roster spot. Otherwise Napoli (a first baseman) and Choo (an outfielder) can switch off as needed. Moving Desmond to the outfield was successful enough last year that the Rangers are taking a similar approach with Profar. The oft-injured 24-year-old will try to break camp as a left fielder, platooning with Rua.
Outlook: Coming off back-to-back division titles, the Rangers begin 2017 with a weakened farm system and the footsteps of the Astros and Mariners passing them by ' or at least catching up. There's still a lot to like here. Napoli was a huge bargain on a $6 million contract following his 34-homer season in Cleveland. He'll join Beltre and Odor to form a dangerous middle of the order. Darvish is entering his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, and he and catcher Lucroy are entering their long-awaited walk years. This isn't the deepest roster in the AL but it's capable of winning another division title if its stars can avoid the disabled list. | | 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
Who's gone? C Jett Bandy, C Geovany Soto, C Juan Graterol, OF Gregorio Petit, OF Rafael Ortega, RHP Jered Weaver, LHP C.J. Wilson, RHP Jhoulys Chacin, RHP Tim Lincecum, RHP Cory Rasmus, LHP Brett Oberholtzer
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.

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 |
| | Angels' Heaney continues comeback vs. Rangers
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Andrew Heaney will take the mound for the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. And it is a big deal. It will be the left-hander's second start of the season, which is one more start than Heaney had all of last year when he started the second game of the season for the Angels against the eventual World Series champion Chicago Cubs. Heaney gave up four runs and seven hits in six innings, then felt something going on with his left arm. It turned out it was his elbow, and it meant Tommy John surgery. The Angels essentially counted Heaney out for all of 2017, but he made a quick recovery, returning to a major league mound 13 1/2 months after his operation, starting Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. Heaney got a no-decision after allowing five runs and seven hits in five innings of the Angels' 9-7 loss. Though the injury cost him nearly two seasons, he opts to look at the bright side. "Right now, the way I feel, (the surgery) is going to be a really (lousy) thing that's a positive thing for my career," he told the Orange County Register. "I learned how to train better. I learned how to eat better. I learned how to take care of my body better." Heaney came to the Angels after being traded twice in one day in December 2014. The Marlins traded him in a multi-player deal to the Dodgers, who then sent Heaney to the Angels for second baseman Howie Kendrick. After beginning 2015 in the minors, Heaney joined the Angels' rotation midway through that season and wound up going 6-4 with a 3.49 ERA in 18 starts. That included two starts against the Rangers, in which he was 1-1 with a 5.23 ERA. Elvis Andrus (3-for-5), Adrian Beltre (2-for-5), Delino DeShields Jr. (2-for-5) and Mike Napoli (2-for-4) all have had success against Heaney. Andrew Cashner, who will pitch for Texas on Wednesday, has made 20 starts this year despite missing time due to an oblique strain and a stiff neck. Despite his losing record (7-9), he has the best ERA (3.31) among the club's starters. Cashner has been particularly good lately, going 4-2 with a 2.38 ERA in his past seven starts. He gave up three earned runs or fewer and pitched into the sixth inning in all seven of those games. Rangers manager Jeff Banister hopes to get a similar performance from Cashner and keep some of the pressure off of his young and inexperienced bullpen. "These guys are gaining experience every single time they go out," Banister said. "It's a situation where it's all hands (on deck). There's nobody that is relegated to one single inning. It's more looking at who's fresh, the set of hitters, the combination of pitches vs. the hitter. It's going to be mix and match the rest of the way." Cashner is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA in four career games (one start) against the Angels. Los Angeles beat Texas 10-1 on Tuesday to even the four-game series after the Rangers won the opener 5-3 on Monday. |
