| |  | SAN FRANCISCO: 2016: 87-75, second place
Manager: Bruce Bochy (11th season)
Who's new? RHP Mark Melancon, C Nick Hundley, IF Jae-Gyun Hwang
Who's gone? OF Angel Pagan, OF Gregor Blanco, RHP Jake Peavy, RHP Santiago Casilla, RHP Sergio Romo, LHP Javier Lopez
Projected lineup: CF Denard Span (.266, 11 HR, 53 RBI, 12 SB), 1B Brandon Belt (.275, 17 , 82), C Buster Posey (.288, 14, 80), RF Hunter Pence (.289, 13, 57), SS Brandon Crawford (.275, 12, 84), 3B Eduardo Nunez (.288, 16, 67, 40 SBs with Giants and Twins), 2B Joe Panik (.239, 10, 62), LF Jarrett Parker (.236, 5, 14) or Mac Williamson (.223, 6, 15)
Rotation: LH Madison Bumgarner (15-9, 2.74 ERA), RH Johnny Cueto (18-5, 2.79), RH Jeff Samardzija (12-11, 3.81), LH Matt Moore (13-12, 4.08 with Giants and Rays), RH Matt Cain (4-8, 5.64)
Key relievers: RH Mark Melancon (2-2, 1.64, 47/51 SV with Nationals), RH Hunter Strickland (3-3, 3.10), RH Derek Law (4-2, 2.13), LH Steven Okert (0-0, 3.21) or Josh Osich (1-3, 4.71), RH Cory Gearrin (3-2, 4.28), RH George Kontos (3-2, 2.53)
Hot spot: Bullpen and left field. No team blew more saves last year than the Giants. The front office hopes it found the answer by signing three-time All-Star closer Melancon to a (then-record) four-year, $62 million deal, and by cutting ties with Romo and Casilla. They will need to replace Will Smith, a key lefty who tore his UCL in spring training. Veteran outfielder Pagan left after five seasons in San Francisco. Rather than fill his shoes via free agency or trade, the unproven tandem of Williamson and Parker is expected to share time in left.
Outlook: The Giants have an established core of position players, and an enviable 1-2 rotation punch in Bumgarner and Cueto. That's probably why the front office did little in the offseason besides overhaul the back end of the bullpen. Hwang, who hit 26 home runs and drove in 104 last year in Korea, is an intriguing addition to the bench. Mostly the Giants are counting on continuity. Former NL MVP Posey is coming off a below-average season by his standards, and sparkplug Pence missed nearly two months last year with a hamstring injury. Expecting both to bounce back isn't a stretch, and new closer Melancon is as good as they come. At full strength, this Giants team should be able to give the Dodgers a good run. | | LA DODGERS: 2016: 91-71, first place, lost to Chicago Cubs in NLCS
Manager: Dave Roberts (second season)
Who's new? IF Logan Forsythe, OF Franklin Gutierrez, OF Brett Eibner, RHP Sergio Romo
Who's gone? OF Josh Reddick, C Carlos Ruiz, RHP Joe Blanton, RHP Jose De Leon, LHP J.P. Howell, RHP Louis Coleman, RHP Jesse Chavez
Projected lineup: 2B Logan Forsythe (.264, 20 HR, 52 RBI with Rays) or Chase Utley (.252, 14, 52), SS Corey Seager (.308, 26 72), 3B Justin Turner (.275, 27, 90), 1B Adrian Gonzalez (.285, 18, 90), RF Yasiel Puig (.263, 11, 45) or Andre Ethier (.208, 1, 2 in 16 games), C Yasmani Grandal (.228, 27, 72), CF Joc Pederson (.246, 25, 68), LF Andrew Toles (.314, 3, 16) or Trayce Thompson (.225, 13, 32)
Rotation: LH Clayton Kershaw (12-4, 1.69 ERA), RH Kenta Maeda (16-11, 3.48), LH Rich Hill (12-5, 2.12 with A's and Dodgers), RH Brandon McCarthy (2-3, 4.95), LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (0-1, 11.57 in one game) or LH Alex Wood (1-4, 3.73)
Key relievers: RH Kenley Jansen (3-2, 1.83, 47/53 SV), RH Pedro Baez (3-2, 3.04), LH Grant Dayton (0-1, 2.05), LH Luis Avilan (3-0, 3.20), RH Josh Fields (1-0, 4.63 with Astros and Dodgers), RH Sergio Romo (1-0, 2.64 with Giants), RH Chris Hatcher (5-4, 5.53)
Hot spots: Outfield and rotation. The Dodgers set a record for Disabled List trips in 2016. Ethier, who missed most of last season with a broken tibia, compared his recent back injury to 'Groundhog Day.' Even without Ethier there isn't room for Puig, Pederson, Toles, Thompson, Scott Van Slyke, Franklin Gutierrez and Brett Eibner. The pitching staff was decimated last year too, but a deep farm system produced a wave of capable reinforcements. If Scott Kazmir, McCarthy or Ryu can't pitch, Julio Urias, Brock Stewart and Ross Stripling can step in.
Outlook: After two straight winters laying low on the free agent market, Andrew Friedman bet big on his 2016 roster. Turner, Jansen, Hill and Utley all re-signed, giving the Dodgers a chance to prove last season's NLCS run wasn't a fluke. A full season of Kershaw and Hill ' to name just two ' would improve the team's chances of claiming a fifth straight division title. If the Dodgers want to take the next step, they'll have to get past the defending champion Chicago Cubs, a potential perennial powerhouse whose roster remains similarly intact. |
| | Dodgers aim to take advantage of struggling Giants
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants enjoy baseball's fiercest rivalry on the West Coast, and festivities are off to a quick start in 2017. The two teams split a series at San Francisco last week, a set that featured three one-run games and extra innings in the fourth, and now the Dodgers host the Giants in a three-game series starting Monday. The clubs will meet again two weeks later for three games in San Francisco. As fierce as the series may be, the teams appear headed in opposite directions in 2017. The Dodgers (14-12) have won six of their past eight games despite a handful of injuries and are closing in on early National League West upstarts Colorado and Arizona. The Giants (9-17) have the worst record in the NL. They have won back-to-back games just once all season, and key players are injured. "Right now, there's nothing clicking," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said after a recent loss. "It's a rough start. We're not very good right now. This is when you find a way to get through it, and they will." The Giants will be without ace left-hander Madison Bumgarner until at least the All-Star break after he sustained shoulder and rib injuries in a recent dirt bike accident, and shortstop Brandon Crawford (groin) is on the 10-day disabled list. And while Buster Posey isn't injured, the former NL Most Valuable Player has just three extra-base hits and three RBIs this season. The Giants have scored 31 runs in their past 14 games, two runs or fewer in nine of them. "It will get better, but right now we have some guys that really aren't swinging the bats all that well, to be honest," Bochy said. The series opener will feature a classic matchup between two power pitchers who are among the top arms in the game, the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw and the Giants' Johnny Cueto. Kershaw is 4-1 this season with a 2.29 ERA and 39 strikeouts. He is 3-0 with a 1.61 ERA in his past three starts, and he is coming off a 2-1 win over the Giants on Tuesday in which he allowed six hits and a run in seven innings. He has always had great success against the Giants -- a 19-8 career record, 1.60 ERA and .184 opponents average. He reportedly pitched with a calf injury in his start at San Francisco. "For him to go seven innings and throw the ball the way he did with a banged-up calf, it adds to his legacy," third baseman Justin Turner told the Los Angeles Times. "It adds to his ridiculousness." Kershaw said, "It always feels good to get a win (in San Francisco). We've been struggling here (the last few seasons), that's no secret." Cueto is 3-1 with a 5.10 ERA this season coming off an 18-5, 2.79 effort in 2016. He got a no-decision last Wednesday against the Dodgers, throwing six innings of three-run ball. In 14 career starts against Los Angeles, Cueto is 5-6 with a 4.86 ERA. He is 3-5 with a 2.49 ERA in eight starts at Dodger Stadium. Turner carries a 16-game hitting streak into the series opener. He is 26-for-60 (.433) with a homer and nine RBIs in that span. |
