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. | | NY METS: 2016: 87-75, second place
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. |
| | Braves' Dickey, contemplating retirement, faces Mets
NEW YORK -- If the Atlanta Braves have their way, Tuesday night won't be the last or next-to-last time R.A. Dickey pitches for them. If the New York Mets have their way, Tuesday night will be the last time they have to pencil Rafael Montero into the rotation. A pair of right-handers going in opposite directions will square off Tuesday night when the Mets host the Braves in the third game of a four-game series at Citi Field. The teams split a doubleheader Monday, when the Braves won the opener 9-2 and the Mets earned a 3-2 victory in the nightcap. Dickey (10-10, 4.32 ERA) is scheduled to oppose Montero (5-11, 4.32) in a matchup of pitchers separated by 16 years and many more degrees of regard by their teams. Dickey, who turns 43 next month, joined a select group by winning his most recent start last Thursday, when he allowed two runs over eight innings as the Braves beat the visiting Washington Nationals 3-2. The victory was the 10th of the season for Dickey, who is one of only six pitchers -- along with Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw, Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale, Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zack Greinke, Washington Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez and Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer -- to post double-digit wins in each of the past six years. Afterward, though, Dickey said he was uncertain if he would be back to attempt a seventh straight 10-win season. The Braves (71-85) hold an $8 million 2018 option on Dickey, who didn't rule out the possibility of retiring. "Theoretically, this could be my last start ever at a home venue," Dickey said. "But we're going to make that decision at the end of the season and see how I feel, what goes on there. But tonight was special for me." The Mets (67-90) are not speaking so glowingly of Montero, who turns 27 next month. Montero continued to madden New York last Wednesday, when he dropped his second straight start after giving up five runs over four innings in a 9-2 loss at Miami. Montero has lasted fewer than six innings in each of his past four starts, a stretch in which he is 2-2 with a 6.16 ERA while producing a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 16:14. He struck out 72 and walked just 30 in 15 games (11 starts) from June 15 through Aug. 30. "I really don't have an answer for you," Mets manager Terry Collins said regarding Montero's struggles following a loss to the Braves on Sept. 15. "The bases on balls, probably as they have in the past, hurt him." With the Mets expecting to get back injured starters Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and Zack Wheeler next year, Montero is likely to be stashed at Triple-A Las Vegas if he remains in the organization. Dickey, who won the National League Cy Young Award with the Mets in 2012, is 4-1 with a 3.55 ERA in six career appearances (five starts) against his former club. Montero is 0-3 with a 7.27 ERA in five career appearances (one start) against the Braves. |
