| |  | ATLANTA: 2016: 68-93, fifth place
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. | | MIAMI: 2016: 79-82, third place
Manager: Don Mattingly (second season)
Who's new? C A.J. Ellis, RHP Edinson Volquez, RHP Dan Straily, RHP Brad Ziegler, RHP Junichi Tazawa, LHP Jeff Locke
Who's gone? C Jeff Mathis, INF Chris Johnson, RHP Andrew Cashner, LHP Mike Dunn, RHP Fernando Rodney
Projected lineup: SS Dee Gordon (.268, 1 HR, 14 RBI, 30 SB in 79 games), 3B Martin Prado (.305, 8, 75), CF Christian Yelich (.298, 21, 98), RF Giancarlo Stanton (.240, 27, 74 in 119 games), LF Marcell Ozuna (.266, 23, 76), 1B Justin Bour (.264, 15, 51), C J.T. Realmuto (.303, 11, 48, 12 SB), SS Adeiny Hechavarria (.236, 3, 38)
Rotation: LH Wei-Yin Chen (5-5, 4.96), RH Edinson Volquez (10-11, 5.37 with Royals), LH Adam Conley (8-6, 3.85), RH Dan Straily (14-8, 3.76 with Reds), RH Tom Koehler (9-13, 4.33)
Key relievers: RH A.J. Ramos (1-4, 2.81 40/43 SV), RH Brad Ziegler (2-3, 2.28, 18/20 SV with Diamondbacks), RH Junichi Tazawa (3-2, 4.17 with Red Sox), RH Kyle Barraclough (6-3, 2.85), RH David Phelps (7-6, 2.28), RH Dustin McGowan (1-3, 2.82)
Hot spots: Middle infield. Gordon and Hechavarria were a throwback double-play combo in 2016: strong defense up the middle, light with the bats. That would be OK in some lineups, but only three MLB teams scored fewer runs per game last season than Miami. Derek Dietrich was a more than capable fill-in during Gordon's PED suspension, posting a .374 on-base percentage. How long can Mattingly keep Dietrich on the bench if Gordon and Hechavarria struggle to hit?
Outlook: There are many recent examples of teams taking the 'stars and scrubs' approach to roster construction. It never ends well. The Marlins lost their brightest star when ace right-hander Jose Fernandez died far too young; replacing his production and presence was impossible. The remaining stars come with major question marks. Can Stanton stay healthy? If not, can Yelich and Bour be the pillars of the lineup? Who's the star of this pitching staff? No team managed by Mattingly has lost more than 82 games in a season. That will change in 2017. |
| | Braves' Garcia seeks to regain form against Marlins
MIAMI -- This is a big season for Jaime Garcia as he tries to show he can be a piece worth keeping in the Atlanta Braves' rotation. Garcia (0-1), a 30-year-old left-hander, takes a 62-46 career record and a 3.58 ERA into his start against Miami Marlins right-hander Tom Koehler on Wednesday. However, the native of Mexico is coming off a below-average 2016 season with the St. Louis Cardinals, going 10-13 with a 4.67 ERA. He has a 6.00 ERA after losing his season-opening start at the New York Mets. The ace of the Braves staff is Julio Teheran. After that, Atlanta is looking for veterans such as 43-year-old Bartolo Colon and 42-year-old R.A. Dickey to hold the proverbial fort until prospects such as Sean Newcombe, Kolby Allard, Touki Toussaint, Ian Anderson, Mike Soroka, Patrick Weigel and Max Fried arrive from the minor leagues. Those seven pitchers are all ranked among the Braves' top 12 prospects overall. Atlanta is hoping that at least three of them blossom into stars. In the meantime, the Braves want to find out about Garcia. Can he be the guy who went 10-6 with a 2.43 ERA in 2015? Braves manager Brian Snitker said he is hoping for more luck for Garcia on Wednesday. "Against Matt Harvey, any runs were going to be (scarce)," Snitker said of the Mets pitcher who got the better of Garcia when they squared off last week. Koehler (0-0), off to a good start even though he didn't get a decision in his 2017 debut, has a 1.80 ERA and is hoping to continue delivering that type of performance. Certainly, Koehler would like to last longer than the five innings he pitched in his previous outing against the Washington Nationals. But Koehler, while not overpowering, has been a consistent fifth-starter type for the past three seasons, averaging 10 wins per year. In order, he has gone 10-10 with a 3.81 ERA, 11-14 with a 4.08 and 9-13 with a 4.33. Koehler has better stuff than Garcia, throwing his fastball in 91-94 mph range. Garcia's fastball ranges at 89-92 mph. Yet Koehler threw his fastball on just 46.7 percent of his pitches last season, relying more on the combination of his slider, curve and changeup. The problem for Koehler is that his slider is considered by scouts to be an average pitch and his changeup is below average. Atlanta went 11-7 against Miami last year, including 6-2 at Marlins Park. But after Miami's 8-4 win on Tuesday, Koehler will have a chance to lead a Marlins sweep of this brief two-game series with a victory on Wednesday. |
