Manager: Pete Mackanin (third season)
Who's new? LF Howie Kendrick, RF Michael Saunders, C Ryan Hanigan, OF Chris Coghlan, RHP Clay Buchholz, RHP Joaquin Benoit
Who's gone? C A.J. Ellis, 1B Ryan Howard, INF Andres Blanco, OF Peter Bourjos, RHP Charlie Morton, RHP David Hernandez
Projected lineup: 2B Cesar Hernandez (.294, 6 HR, 39 RBI, 17 SB), LF Howie Kendrick (.255, 8, 40, 10 with Dodgers), CF Odubel Herrera (.286, 15, 49, 25), 3B Maikel Franco (.255, 25, 88), RF Michael Saunders (.253, 24, 57 with Blue Jays), 1B Tommy Joseph (.257, 21, 47), C Cameron Rupp (.252, 16, 54), SS Freddy Galvis (.241, 3, 20, 17 SB)
Rotation: RH Jeremy Hellickson (11-14, 3.65 ERA), RH Aaron Nola (6-9, 4.78), RH Clay Buchholz (8-10, 4.78 with Red Sox), RH Vince Velasquez (8-6, 4.12), Jerad Eickhoff (11-14, 3.65)
Key relievers: Jeanmar Gomez (3-5, 4.85, 37/43 SV), Joaquin Benoit (2-0, 0.38 with Blue Jays), Hector Neris (4-4, 2.58), Pat Neshek (2-2, 3.06 with Astros), Edubray Ramos (1-3, 3.83)
Hot spots: Shortstop and closer. Philadelphia is waiting for the arrival of J.P. Crawford, the marquee name in the farm system. Crawford struggled in his first exposure to Triple-A last year, batting .250 with seven home runs in 123 games. In the meantime shortstop belongs to Galvis, who had an MLB-worst .274 on-base percentage last season. Crawford will get a chance once he's deemed ready. Gomez had a 19.13 ERA last September, possibly opening the door for Ramos, Neris or newcomer Benoit to seize the closer's job in spring training.
Outlook: On the long road back to respectability, the Phillies appear closer to the end than the beginning. Young starters Nola, Velasquez and Eickhoff showed flashes of brilliance last year. So did center fielder Herrera, who was rewarded with a five-year contract extension. He's the only player on the roster with a guaranteed contract beyond this year. That points to 2017 as a major transition year with prospects and veterans auditioning for jobs in 2018 and beyond, when the Phillies can be active in free agency. | | 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. |
| | Marlins try to maintain momentum against Phillies
MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins finally seem to be gathering some momentum. The Philadelphia Phillies, meanwhile, are going backward. After beating the Phillies 4-1 on Monday night, the Marlins on Tuesday night will try to win their second consecutive series. The Marlins (19-30) have won three of their past four games, which is a modest "hot streak" to be sure. But it is still welcome news for manager Don Mattingly. "It's been an awful month to this point," Mattingly said of the Marlins, who are 8-18 in May. "But at this point, we can only move forward. "(Rookie shortstop) JT (Riddle) has solidified us in the middle where we had been in flux (with injuries to Miguel Rojas and Adeiny Hechavarria). We're eventually going to get guys healthy. "I don't want to get too excited, but (three of four) is something. I don't want to think about how bad it's been. I just want to think about what we've done recently." To try to keep things going in the second game of a three-game series vs. the Phillies (17-32), the Marlins will start left-hander Justin Nicolino, who has received numerous chances in the past but has yet to cement himself as a major-leaguer. The Phillies will counter with right-hander Vince Velasquez, who has had wild swings of inconsistency. Nicolino (0-1, 5.40 ERA) will be making his third start this season and his 32nd since the start of the 2015 season. Since making his big-league debut on June 20, 2015, Nicolino has been a human yo-yo, shuffling between Triple-A and the majors numerous times. A soft-tosser, Nicolino has seen his numbers get worse almost across the board since he broke into the majors. The only major exception is his strikeout rate, which has improved from 2.8 per nine innings in 2015 to 4.2 last season and 7.2 this year. But the unfortunate tradeoff for Nicolino has been an increased walk rate that has more than doubled from last year's ratio of 2.3 per nine innings. This year, he is walking 5.4 per nine. The bottom line is the 0-1 record and what would be a career-high ERA. Nicolino, though, has good career numbers against the Phillies. He is 1-0 with a 2.74 ERA in four appearances, including three starts, against Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Velasquez is 2-4 this season with a 5.55 ERA in nine starts. Just 24, Velasquez is already in his third year in the majors. However, he has yet to take off, as evidenced by his 11-11 career record and 4.47 ERA in 52 appearances, including 40 starts. A bright spot has been his performances against the Marlins. He is 2-0 with a 2.96 ERA in four career starts against Miami, and that includes a 1-0 record this year. He beat the Marlins 7-4 on April 26 in Philadelphia, allowing six hits, two walks and three runs in 6 1/3 innings. It was his second-longest outing of the season and easily one of his best. Another reason for optimism about Velasquez on Tuesday is that he has been better on the road (4.64 ERA) than at home (6.26 ERA). Velasquez has also been better lately. After a brutal start (6.33 ERA in April), he has a 4.94 ERA in May with a chance to lower that figure some more on Tuesday. As for Velasquez's potential run support, the Phillies got left fielder Howie Kendrick back from the disabled list on Monday. Kendrick is batting .326 after going 1-for-4 with a stolen base in his return from an oblique injury. Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said slumping center fielder Odubel Herrera, who sat on Monday, will be on the bench again Tuesday. Herrera is batting .181 in May and .217 for the season, and his performance is indicative of the Phillies' malaise during a stretch in which they have won just six of their past 29 games. "We just have to show up on (Tuesday) and get after it," Mackanin said. "We're in a rut. We have to get more than three or four hits in a game. We have to battle our way of this." |
