Manager: Brian Snitker (second season)
Who's new? 2B Brandon Phillips, 2B Micah Johnson, C Kurt Suzuki, IF/OF Sean Rodriguez, SP Bartolo Colon, SP R.A. Dickey, SP Jaime Garcia
Who's gone? OF Mallex Smith, C A.J. Pierzynski, RHP Chris Withrow, RHP Ryan Weber
Projected lineup: CF Ender Inciarte (.291, 3 HR, 29 RBI, 16 SB), SS Dansby Swanson (.302, 3, 17), 1B Freddie Freeman (.302, 34, 91), LF Matt Kemp (.280, 12, 39 with Padres and Braves), RF Nick Markakis (.269, 13, 89), 2B Brandon Phillips (.291, 11, 64, 14 SB), 3B Adonis Garcia (.273, 14, 65), C Tyler Flowers (.270, 8, 41)
Rotation: RH Julio Teheran (7-10, 3.21), RH Bartolo Colon (15-8, 3.43 with Mets), LH Jaime Garcia (10-13, 4.67 with Cardinals), RH R.A. Dickey (10-15, 4.46 with Blue Jays), RH Mike Foltynewicz (9-5, 4.31)
Key relievers: RH Jim Johnson (2-6, 3.06 ERA, 20/23 SV), RH Arodys Vizcaino (1-4, 4.42, 10/14 SV), RH Mauricio Cabrera (5-1, 2.82), LH Ian Krol (2-0, 3.18), RH Jose Ramirez (2-2, 3.58), RH Josh Collmenter (1-0, 4.84 with Diamondbacks)
Hot spots: Second base and rotation. Phillips, acquired from the Reds in February, is a placeholder for prospect Ozzie Albies at second base. Albies, 20, won the Double-A Southern League batting title in 2016 and is a potential September call-up at least. The rotation is in a similar state of transition, but it's more complicated. Veterans Teheran, Colon, Dickey and Garcia have jobs for now. Youngsters Foltynewicz, Aaron Blair, Matt Wisler, Lucas Sims and Sean Newcomb are pushing to seize long-term spots.
Outlook: In the inaugural season at SunTrust Park, the Braves will try to crack .500 for the first time since 2013. Their rebuilding work isn't finished, but the front office added about $30 million in salary over the winter. That ought to be enough to make the Braves watchable again. Now, the veterans trying to extend their careers in Atlanta (Colon, Dickey, Phillips, Kemp) are almost as intriguing as the prospects. The sight of 23-year-old shortstop Swanson backing up 40-something pitchers Colon and Dickey could be something special. | | 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 like chances with Kershaw vs. Braves
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers seek a series split with the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, and their chances are good with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. Kershaw is having another Cy Young-like season at 15-2 with a 2.07 ERA. And now that he's using a changeup -- his fourth pitch, he's even more effective. "It's obviously his fourth-best pitch, but to have that in the hitter's mind, I think it's a benefit," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "He doesn't use it often, but he's gotten some big outs with it. Some big strikeouts with it. For him, it's one of those things where to be great, and to even consider or be open to using your fourth-best pitch more often, that's sometimes a tough sell. "But Clayton has the open-mindedness to continue to grow and wanting to get better. It's one of those things you kind of try to introduce it a little more. I think you'll probably see the wiggle from Yasmani (Grandal's) fingers more often than it has been in the past. It's still a hard sell when you're Clayton and you have three better pitches." It's a duel of left-handlers as the Braves counter with Sean Newcombe, who's still searching for his second victory of the season. He's 1-5 with a 4.68 ERA. Newcombe, a 6-foot-5 rookie, pitched well in his first four starts but struggled in the last three, allowing 16 runs in 12 2/3 innings. He'll be on a big stage opposing Kershaw. The Dodgers (67-31) have a 10 1/2-game lead in the National League West. The Braves are trying to cut into Washington's 11-game lead on them in the NL East. The Braves (47-49) won the first two games of the series. They erupted for 12 runs on Friday, the most they'd ever scored at Dodger Stadium. But they couldn't do much against Rich Hill on Saturday, and if Kershaw is his typically stingy self, they'll have to scratch and claw for runs. Atlanta is expected to have second baseman Brandon Phillips back in the lineup as he missed the last two games with hamstring soreness. Justin Turner, who was sick Saturday, is expected to be back in the lineup for the Dodgers. Even with Atlanta securing wins in the first two games of the series, which snapped the Dodgers' 11-game win streak, manager Brian Snitker's Braves couldn't rest easy. The Dodgers post a deep lineup. "It's tough. They keep coming at you," Snitker said. "I said (Friday), even in that game, we got the big lead and you just never feel comfortable against these guys. They're so aggressive. They just keep coming at you. They have guys coming in off the bench that are really tough outs. They're deep. They're deep, deep." Chase Utley, 38, homered Saturday for the sixth time this season and continues to impress offensively and defensively. In his last 29 games at Dodger Stadium, Utley is hitting .299 with 14 runs, 10 doubles, four home runs and 15 RBIs. "Those hands just keep working," Snitker said. "He's a baseball player. He just keeps playing the game." |
