| | | CHICAGO CUBS: 2016: 103-58, won World Series
Manager: Joe Maddon (third season)
Who's new? OF Jon Jay, RHP Wade Davis, LHP Brett Anderson, RHP Koji Uehara, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Eddie Butler
Who's gone? OF Dexter Fowler, IF/OF Jorge Soler, LHP Aroldis Chapman, LHP Travis Wood, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jason Hammel
Projected lineup: LF Kyle Schwarber (.000, 0 HR, 0 RBI in two games), 3B Kris Bryant (.292, 39, 102), 1B Anthony Rizzo (.292, 32, 109), 2B Ben Zobrist (.272, 18, 76), SS Addison Russell (.238, 21, 95), RF Jason Heyward (.230, 7, 49, 11 SB), C Willson Contreras (.282, 12, 35), CF Jon Jay (.291, 2, 26 with Padres) or Albert Almora (.277, 3, 14 in 47 games)
Rotation: LH Jon Lester (19-5, 2.44 ERA), RH Jake Arrieta (18-8, 3.10), RH Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13), RH John Lackey (11-8, 3.35), LH Brett Anderson (1-2, 11.91 in four games with Dodgers) or LH Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.52 with Mariners and Cubs) or RH Eddie Butler (2-5, 7.17 with Rockies) or LH Rob Zastryzny (1-0, 1.13 ERA in eight games) or RH Alec Mills (0-0, 13.50 in three games with Royals)
Key relievers: RH Wade Davis (2-1, 1.87, 27/30 SV with Royals), RH Pedro Strop (2-2, 2.85), RH Hector Rondon (2-3, 3.53, 18/23 SV), RH Koji Uehara (2-3, 3.45, 7/9 SV with Red Sox), RH Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1, 3.75), RH Justin Grimm (2-1, 4.10), LH Brian Duensing (1-0, 4.05 with Royals)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter. Of all the candidates vying to replace Hammel, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent, most have plenty of upside but didn't log many innings last year. That includes Anderson, who had one productive season and one unproductive season for the Dodgers. Keep an eye on southpaw Montgomery, who tossed two shutouts as a starter for the Mariners in 2015, came to the Cubs last year in a midseason trade, then was effective as a reliever. Last time he was on the mound, he recorded the save in Game 7 of the World Series.
Outlook: There hasn't been a back-to-back champion this century. For opponents of the Cubs, that might be the most tangible nugget of hope. Most of the key players return from a powerhouse team that played historically good defense, got no fewer than 165 innings from each of its top five starters, and featured a deep lineup led by NL MVP Kris Bryant. In the bullpen, two-time All-Star Davis is capable of replacing closer Chapman if he's healthy. Among the Cubs' regular position players, only Zobrist and new center fielder Jay are over 30 ' everyone else is either entering or in the midst of his prime. This is a strong outlook. | | 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 salvage series split with Cubs
MIAMI -- There are four games left, but it's already been quite an eventful homestand for the Miami Marlins. The 10-game run, which ends Thursday against the New York Mets, has brought or will bring three teams that made the National League playoffs last year to Marlins Park. First, Miami took two of three from the Washington Nationals. The Marlins won one game in which they trailed 6-0 and rallied to win the series after Max Scherzer had allowed no hits through 7 1/3 innnigs. On Sunday, the Marlins (33-40) will conclude a four-game set against the Chicago Cubs (38-36). Miami trails the series 2-1. Off the field, the Marlins have also made news, signing their top three draft picks. They brought them to Marlins Park this weekend so that they could meet the media, and one of them -- third baseman Joe Dunand -- also brought a rather famous relative. Dunand's uncle is the talented and controversial Alex Rodriguez, who was elated to be on the scene. "I can't believe I'm watching him with a major league uniform on," Rodriguez said of Dunand, who was a shortstop at North Carolina State. "This is such a special day for him. "We're so proud of him. This is the American dream. To get drafted by your hometown team -- it doesn't get much better than that." As for the current Marlins, they will turn to veteran right-hander Edinson Volquez on Sunday. The Cubs will throw left-hander Mike Montgomery (1-3, 2.26 ERA), who makes his fourth start of the season having entered the rotation June 8 when Kyle Hendricks went on the disabled list. Montgomery's most recent start was his best when he allowed three hits in six scoreless innings against the San Diego Padres. Batters are hitting .212 against Montgomery, who had a save in his only appearance against the Marlins. In that game, June 5 at Chicago, he pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Volquez (3-8, 4.19) will make his 15th start of the season. He had a seven-game losing streak to start the year followed by a three-game win streak that included a no-hitter and then another loss. Part of his problem has been control as he's walked 44 in 77 1/3 innings. Volquez should feel comfortable against the Cubs. In his career, he is 7-0 with a 3.06 ERA in 12 games (11 starts) against Chicago. Volquez will likely be facing red-hot Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who was given a rest Saturday. Since May 7, Rizzo has a .435 on-base percentage, the third-best mark in the majors during that span. Lately, Rizzo has been used as the leadoff batter. That's an unusual move by manager Joe Maddon considering Rizzo's substantial power. But Rizzo doesn't mind. "As long as we're winning," Rizzo said, "I don't care where I'm hitting." |
