Manager: Terry Collins (seventh season)
Who's new? No one of note
Who's gone? 1B James Loney, IF/OF Kelly Johnson, OF Alejandro De Aza, RHP Bartolo Colon, LHP Jonathon Niese
Projected lineup: CF Curtis Granderson (.237, 30 HR, 59 RBI), 3B David Wright (.226, 7, 14 in 37 games), LF Yoenis Cespedes (.280, 31, 86), RF Jay Bruce (.250, 33, 99 with Reds and Mets), 2B Neil Walker (.282, 23, 55), SS Asdrubal Cabrera (.280, 23, 62), 1B Lucas Duda (.229, 7, 23 in 47 games), C Travis d'Arnaud (.247, 4, 15)
Rotation: RH Noah Syndergaard (14-9, 2.60 ERA), RH Jacob deGrom (7-8, 3.04), RH Matt Harvey (4-10, 4.86), LH Steven Matz (9-8, 3.40), RH Zack Wheeler or RH Robert Gsellman (4-2, 2.42) or RH Seth Lugo (5-2, 2.67)
Key relievers: RH Jeurys Familia (3-4, 2.55, 51/56 SV), RH Addison Reed (4-2, 1.97), RH Hansel Robles (6-4, 3.48), LH Jerry Blevins (4-2, 2.79), RH Fernando Salas (3-7, 3.91)
Hot spots: First base and third base. Duda missed 115 games last season because of a stress fracture in his lower back. When healthy, the veteran first baseman slugged a career-low .714. Former first-round draft pick Dominic Smith, 21, could be in position to battle for the starting spot soon. He'll likely begin the season at Triple-A. Franchise third baseman Wright doesn't have a hot prospect pushing him out the door, but how much game does he have left? The perennial All-Star only began throwing a baseball in February after an eight-month recovery from neck surgery. Wright had a degenerative back and has only played 75 games the last two years. Getting a full season from him at age 34 would be a shock.
Outlook: The Mets' championship window opened with a surprise World Series run in 2015, and their front office seems convinced it's still open. The club invested four years and $110 million to keep Yoenis Cespedes in the outfield. The Mets also exercised club options on Jay Bruce and Jose Reyes, and brought Neil Walker back on a qualifying offer. The result? Almost everyone returns from a club that lost a wild-card game to the Giants last October. The franchise is oozing young pitching ' Syndergaard might be the best right-hander on the planet ' but another World Series appearance might be too much to expect from a team that ranked 25th in runs per game last season. | | 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, surging Urena face Mets
MIAMI -- Out of seemingly nowhere, Jose Urena has emerged as perhaps the Miami Marlins' best starter. Dan Straily has been Miami's most consistent starter all year, and Edinson Volquez has been the most spectacular, given his no-hitter. However, Urena (6-2, 3.33 ERA), who will lead the Marlins (35-41) against the New York Mets (35-42) in the series finale Thursday, cannot be overlooked. He leads the team in wins and tops the rotation in ERA. It's been quite a turnaround for Urena, who was 5-14 in two years prior to 2017. "He has always had the power," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said of Urena's upper-90s fastball. "But now his other pitchers are better." Urena will face Mets right-hander Seth Lugo (2-1, 3.72 ERA), who is known for the high spin rate on his curveball. Lugo is 2-0 with a 3.55 ERA in three career games against the Marlins. The last time he beat Miami was Sept. 28, 2016, at Marlins Park, when he allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings. Urena has faced the Mets eight times, including four times as a starter, and is 2-2 with a 3.30 ERA. He has allowed five homers in 30 innings. This year, though, he is 1-0 with 0.90 ERA in three appearances (one start) against the Mets. Urena has saved a Marlins rotation that last September had to deal with the tragic death of ace Jose Fernandez. This year, only Volquez and Straily have been there the whole way. And Volquez started 0-7, so he hasn't been consistent at all. Urena joined the rotation on May 7, and that has helped. Still, the Marlins announced Wednesday that Justin Nicolino, who made five starts and had a 4.95 ERA, would be moved to the bullpen. In fact, he pitched in relief Wednesday in Miami's 8-0 loss to the Mets that leveled the series at one game apiece. Nicolino allowed one run in one-third of an inning. Jeff Locke, who started Wednesday, is 0-4 with a 5.52 ERA. Adam Conley (2-3, 7.53 ERA) and Tom Koehler (1-2, 7.04 ERA) were ineffective and sent to the minors. Koehler, after being demoted, was later deemed injured and is technically on a rehab assignment. Wei-Yin Chen (2-1, 4.33) made just five starts before going on the disabled list, and his return this year is in doubt. Vance Worley, the ninth starter Miami has used this year, is 0-2 with 7.59 ERA in four turns. So Urena has saved the Marlins to the extent they have played reasonably well lately after a miserable start. Meanwhile, the Mets are hoping to have lefty-swinging outfielder Michael Conforto ready to face the right-handed Urena on Thursday. Conforto, who has a contusion on his left wrist after getting hit by a pitch Sunday, has missed two consecutive games. "They said there's no break," said Conforto, revealing what doctors told him about his wrist. "It's kind of how long it takes for the soreness to go away. "We will ice it, treat it, and, hopefully, I will be back as soon as possible. I took a few swings (in batting practice), and it was still a little bit sore." With Mets outfielders Yoenis Cespedes, Curtis Granderson and Jay Bruce all swinging their bats reasonably well, there is perhaps no urgency to get Conforto back in the lineup. But given that Conforto was New York's best hitter for most of the first two months this season, it would be an added bonus. |
