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. Cron (.278, 16, 69) or Luis Valbuena (.260, 13, 40 in 90 games with Astros), LF Cameron Maybin (.315, 4, 43, 15 SB with Tigers), 2B Danny Espinosa (.209, 24, 72 with Nationals), SS Andrelton Simmons (.281, 4, 44, 10 in 124 games), C Martin Maldonado (.202, 8, 21 with Brewers) or Carlos Perez (.209, 5, 31)
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 | | 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. |
| | Trout, Angels make first trip to Marlins Park
MIAMI -- Friday will mark the Marlins Park debut of Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout, the 25-year-old center fielder who already is a five-time All-Star and a two-time American League MVP. The Angels also have another attraction in Albert Pujols, who can make history this weekend against the Miami Marlins. He needs three home runs to become the ninth major-leaguer to reach 600. "It seems like every day (Pujols) is breaking records," Trout told the Los Angeles Times. "It seems like every day he is passing somebody on some list." Pujols, who is often used as a designated hitter in American League ballparks, could see action at first base this weekend in order to keep his bat in the lineup as the Angels (25-25) seek to snap a two-game losing skid and get back over .500. The Marlins (16-29) are off to one of the worst starts in baseball and are limping home with two more injuries during their just-concluded 2-4 trip. Already missing third baseman Martin Prado, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria and standout utility player Miguel Rojas, the Marlins played on Wednesday without star center fielder Christian Yelich, who has a hip injury. In addition, Derek Dietrich, who is filling in for Prado at third base, left Wednesday's game because of a hip/groin injury. The Marlins' problems don't end there. Their original starting rotation has a 7-16 record, including Edinson Volquez, who is 0-7 after signing a two-year, $22-million contract in the offseason. "When I signed here, I was hoping to be better than what I am right now," Volquez told the media. The best Marlins starter has been right-hander Dan Straily (2-3, 3.70 ERA), who will start on Friday against the Angels. Miami is 4-5 when Straily pitches, which is pretty good considering the Marlins are 13 games under .500. Straily has allowed only 28 hits in 48.2 innings this season. He has held eight straight opponents to four hits or fewer, and he leads Marlins starters in ERA and WHIP (1.03). Right-handed batters are hitting only .156 against Straily, with five homers in 90 at-bats. Lefty batters are hitting .173 with one homer in 81 at-bats. Straily, 28, had a breakthrough year last season when he went 14-8 with a 3.76 ERA. This year, even though his record is unimpressive, his ERA is on pace to be a career low. Marlins Park has been kind to Straily, who has a 1.95 ERA at home and a 6.00 mark on the road. Meanwhile, the Angels, who will start Jesse Chavez (4-5, 4.61 ERA), in their first-ever trip to Marlins Park. Chavez, 33, has a career record of 30-45 with a 4.55 ERA. He lost five of six decisions this year before turning it around recently, winning his last two starts. The Angels have been treading water while waiting for closer Huston Street (right lat strain) to return from injury. He and Matt Morin (neck tightness) pitched one perfect inning each on Wednesday in Triple-A minor-league rehab stints. Los Angeles is hoping to get starting pitcher Alex Meyer (back stiffness) on the mound next week. The Angels are already without two starting pitchers: Garrett Richards, whose biceps injury is expected to keep him out until August, and Tyler Skaggs (oblique), who is out until the All-Star break. Los Angeles hopes to get third baseman Yunel Escobar (left hamstring) back soon. He is reportedly ready to run bases. However, Angels outfielder Cameron Maybin left Thursday's game because of soreness in his right knee. |
