|
| |  | ARIZONA: HITTING: Arizona's offense placed ninth in the majors in runs (4.5 per game), homers (172) and OPS (.736), thanks in big part to its young outfield trio. OF JUSTIN UPTON, 24, had a career year and led his team with a .289 BA, 31 HR, 88 RBI, 105 runs and a .369 OBP. OF GERARDO PARRA may have won a Gold Glove, but OF JASON KUBEL is the new leftfielder. Kubel's power numbers will improve in the desert. OF CHRIS YOUNG's .236 BA was poor, but his .331 OBP allowed him to score 89 times and swipe a team-high 22 SB. 1B PAUL GOLDSCHMIDT, 24, belted 30 homers in 103 Double-A games and continued his power in the majors with eight bombs in 156 at-bats. 3B RYAN ROBERTS (19 HR, 86 runs) and C MIGUEL MONTERO (18 HR, 86 RBI) also had career-best seasons. 2B AARON HILL was a great midseason acquisition from Toronto, tallying an .878 OPS in 33 games with Arizona. SS STEPHEN DREW batted only .252 with 5 HR in half a season before fracturing his ankle. He'll probably return in early May, and speedy WILLIE BLOOMQUIST will replace him in the starting lineup.
STARTING PITCHING: D-backs starters won 71 games, sixth-most in baseball. IAN KENNEDY won 21 of those contests and led the team with a 2.88 ERA and 198 strikeouts. He also held batters to a .210 BA at hitter-friendly Chase Field. DANIEL HUDSON was strong in all facets as well, notching 16 wins, 169 K and a 3.49 ERA. He pitches like a seasoned veteran, but he's only 25. Newcomer TREVOR CAHILL was 6-1 with a 1.79 ERA in his first 10 starts before finishing 6-13 with a 5.25 ERA. Don't expect a huge comeback going from a pitcher's park to a hitter's park. The Diamondbacks brought back innings eater JOE SAUNDERS, which closed the door for stud prospect WADE MILEY to begin 2012 in Arizona's starting rotation. Once the first-round draft pick from 2008 cuts down on his walks, everything else should fall into place, and he should be pitching for the big club come September. JOSH COLLMENTER burst on the scene with his crazy delivery and was unhittable in his first six starts (1.05 ERA, 0.76 WHIP). He predictably tailed off, but still led the rotation with a 1.07 WHIP, walking just 28 batters in 154.1 innings.
RELIEF PITCHING: Arizona led the majors with 58 saves, as J.J. PUTZ tallied 45 of those. He didn't allow a run in his final 18 appearances, finishing with a 2.17 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 9.5 K per 9 IP. He was unhittable on the road, giving up just one run on nine hits in 24.1 innings (.113 opp. BA). Putz does have a history of being injured, and if he gets hurt again, DAVID HERNANDEZ proved a worthy replacement, saving 11 games last year and posting a strong 10.0 K per 9 IP rate. He held opponents to a meager .193 BA. BRAD ZIEGLER was even better after Arizona acquired him at the deadline. In 23 appearances with the D-backs, the side-arming Ziegler notched a 1.74 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. | | LA DODGERS: HITTING: The Dodgers were ravaged with injuries in 2010 and finished in the bottom third in the majors in runs (4.00 per game), homers (117) and OPS (.697). None of these poor numbers were the fault of OF MATT KEMP, who finished second in MVP voting with a .324 BA, 39 HR, 126 RBI and 40 steals. He says he wants a 50-50 season in 2012. 1B JAMES LONEY had the second-most homers (12) of any returning player, and batted .357 with a .608 SLG after August 1. If speedy SS DEE GORDON learns to be more patient at the plate (7 BB in 224 AB), he could score 90 runs from the top of the order. OF ANDRE ETHIER made headlines with a 30-game hit streak, but was once again dominated by lefties (.563 OPS). The team is counting on two veterans to drive in runs. 3B JUAN URIBE has been a walking infirmary lately, but still has 15-HR power, and OF JUAN RIVERA had 46 RBI in 219 AB after coming to the Dodgers. Two guys named Ellis, 2B MARK ELLIS and C A.J. ELLIS, will bat at the bottom of the order.
STARTING PITCHING: The Dodgers remain one of the better rotations in baseball, placing third in the majors in ERA (3.41) and fourth in opponents' BA (.242). The biggest reason for the success was the NL Cy Young and Triple Crown-winning performance of CLAYTON KERSHAW, who tied for the NL lead in wins (21) and topped all NL pitchers in ERA (2.28) and strikeouts (248). Fellow southpaw TED LILLY had a down year overall (12-14, 3.97 ERA), but had a fantastic final two months of the season (2.09 ERA, 0.93 WHIP). CHAD BILLINGSLEY notched his fifth straight season of double-digit wins, despite sporting a mediocre 4.21 ERA and 1.45 WHIP. AARON HARANG signed a two-year, $12M deal to join the Dodgers rotation. He won 14 games for the lowly Padres last year and finished with a career-best 3.64 ERA. CHRIS CAPUANO left the Mets for richer pastures (2-yr, $10M) of Los Angeles. Although he pitched well at spacious Citi Field (3.82 ERA, 1.21 WHIP), he was terrible on the road (5.42 ERA, 1.51 WHIP).
RELIEF PITCHING: Jonathan Broxton is gone, ending any kind of closer controversy the Dodgers may have been trying to avoid. JAVY GUERRA is the closer, and for good reason. He converted 21-of-23 save chances while posting a 2.31 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and allowing just two homers in 46.2 innings. If Guerra falters, manager Don Mattingly can afford to have a short leash with KENLEY JANSEN as his set-up man. Jansen led the majors with an insane 16.1 K-per-9 ratio and limited opponents to a .159 BA and .228 slugging percentage. At age 24, his upside is extremely high. MATT GUERRIER is a usually reliable reliever, but he is coming off a subpar 2011 campaign (4.07 ERA, 1.27 WHIP). |

*Diamondbacks-Dodgers Preview* ==============================
By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer
Arizona (16-15) at Los Angeles (13-17), 10:10 p.m. EDT
Chris Capuano fell out of the Los Angeles Dodgers' rotation before this season started. Now the left-hander is back in it for the second time in 2013.
Capuano is expected to be removed from the disabled list Monday night when the host Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks both try to avoid a sixth loss in seven games.
Despite making 33 starts - tied with Clayton Kershaw for the 2012 team lead - and going 12-12 with a career-best 3.72 ERA in his first campaign with the Dodgers, Capuano (0-1, 9.64 ERA) was demoted to the bullpen with Los Angeles signing Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu in the offseason.
However, with Greinke suffering a broken collarbone April 11 during a benches-clearing brawl at San Diego, Capuano made his first start five days later against the Padres. He was tagged for five runs and lasted just two innings in that 9-2 loss due to a strained left calf. Capuano had suffered the injury while sprinting in from the bullpen during the brawl, though he still threw 1 2-3 scoreless innings in relief of Greinke that night.
"It's frustrating because I've worked really hard to keep myself in shape and keep myself ready for that opportunity," Capuano told the Dodgers' official website last week. "... When you give everything you have like that, you try not to let these little setbacks derail you."
Capuano was 0-2 with a 7.31 ERA in his final three starts versus Arizona last year.
The Dodgers (13-17) just suffered three straight one-run losses at San Francisco and carry a four-game skid back to Los Angeles, where they'll play their next nine.
Manager Don Mattingly said he felt "great about coming out of here," but catcher A.J. Ellis had a different opinion following Sunday's 4-3 loss.
"It is really hard to talk about moral victories after being swept," said Ellis, who was 6 for 13 in the series.
There weren't many positives for the Diamondbacks (16-15) after they had four hits in Sunday's 5-1 loss at San Diego.
"We didn't have anything going at all," said manager Kirk Gibson, a former Dodger great.
Perhaps giving the ball to Trevor Cahill (1-3, 2.84) will help Arizona get off to a better start on the second leg of its six-game trip. The Southern California native is 4-0 with a 2.03 ERA in seven starts against the Dodgers after throwing 7 1-3 innings of six-hit ball in a 1-0 walkoff win April 14.
Cahill was just about as dominant Tuesday, giving up a run and four hits in eight-plus innings of a 2-1 loss to San Francisco as J.J. Putz blew the save.
"It's real frustrating when it is so close and you can't finish it out," said Cahill, who has received 10 total runs of support in six starts. "You're going to kick yourself even more than if you only went three and gave up 10 runs. It's a bad feeling."
Adrian Gonzalez, who had a pinch-hit two-run single Sunday, has been nursing a stiff neck, and it's uncertain if he'll be out of the Dodgers lineup for a fourth straight game. Cahill probably wouldn't mind if he took another day to recuperate, as Gonzalez went 3 for 3 with a double off him last month.
Gonzalez had the Dodgers' only home run in that series, in which Arizona took two of three. The Diamondbacks have won 12 of 15 in this NL West matchup.
Paul Goldschmidt, a .341 hitter at Dodger Stadium, is 9 for 12 with two homers and three doubles off Capuano. The .750 average is Goldschmidt's highest against any pitcher he's faced more than four times.
