|
| |  | BALTIMORE: HITTING: The leadoff spot is 2B BRIAN ROBERTS' if he can stay on the field. His recent injury history is very troubling, though his talent makes him a risk worth taking. 2B ROBERT ANDINO and 2B RYAN ADAMS would compete for time if Roberts is out. The O's best hitter last year was arguably SS J.J. HARDY. He was healthy for the first time in years and flexed his legit 30-HR power. If Roberts and Hardy stay healthy, OF NICK MARKAKIS will likely hit third and see an increase in RBI chances. OF ADAM JONES seems to have the highest ceiling of any Baltimore hitter. 3B MARK REYNOLDS will probably end up at 1B. His horrendous average cancels out some of his 40-HR potential. OF NOLAN REIMOLD revived his MLB career with an impressive end of the season. He's got a shot to start in left. 1B CHRIS DAVIS is a candidate to start at first, third or DH as sort of a Junior Mark Reynolds. C MATT WIETERS is already one of the best two-way backstops in baseball at age 25.
STARTING PITCHING: WEI-YIN CHEN pitched well enough in Japan (2.48 ERA, 1.06 WHIP in past four seasons) to become the de-facto ace of this horrible pitching staff. JAKE ARRIETA is a mediocre talent, but is good enough to secure a spot as a Baltimore starter. JASON HAMMEL hopes the switch from Coors Field will help lower his career ERA of 4.99. The highest-risk, highest-potential O's pitcher may be BRIAN MATUSZ. His 2011 line is frightening (10.69 ERA, 2.11 WHIP), but he has the raw skills and pitch repertoire to turn it around. TOMMY HUNTER came over from Texas midseason and should round out the rotation.
RELIEF PITCHING: There was talk of JIM JOHNSON being converted into a starter, but he'll open the season as the team's closer. Johnson established himself as the O's best option to close after going 7-for-7 in that role last September. KEVIN GREGG would step in as the ninth-inning man if Johnson falters. He was unstable in that role last year. Gregg is a trade candidate this midseason, in which case he'd probably end up a set-up man elsewhere. Flame-throwing MATT LINDSTROM is a darkhorse for saves. He saved 23 games for Houston in 2010 before being used as a set-up man in Colorado last year. TSUYOSHI WADA brings his finesse game from Japan. He's a heady hurler who hides the ball well, but he's in for a rude awakening in the A.L. East. BRAD BERGESEN and CHRIS JAKUBAUSKAS are long relievers who may get bumped into the rotation if the young Baltimore SPs struggle again. | | NY YANKEES: HITTING: Despite his decline from mediocrity into downright counter-productivity, SS DEREK JETER gets to hit atop the best lineup in baseball. Off an MVP-caliber season, OF CURTIS GRANDERSON is a true star. His average is mediocre, but his power is elite and the Yankees are letting him run when on base. After two years with a sub-.260 average, 1B MARK TEIXEIRA's talent seems to be fading. He still puts up huge power numbers playing in a bandbox. Coming off knee and thumb injuries, 3B ALEX RODRIGUEZ is a serious injury risk hitting in the middle of this lineup. 2B ROBINSON CANO will once again see as many RBI chances as anyone. He's been great in those situations the past two seasons. OFs NICK SWISHER and BRETT GARDNER offer power and SBs, respectively, though the Yankees may look to upgrade if they continue to post lackluster numbers. C RUSSELL MARTIN will get plenty of playing time now that Jesus Montero is in Seattle. Veteran slugger RAUL IBANEZ is the new DH in town, and will love hitting towards the short porch in right at Yankee Stadium.
STARTING PITCHING: CC SABATHIA struggled late last year and has logged a ridiculous number of innings over the past five years. He's a top-10 starter in the majors, but is starting to pass his prime. Newcomers HIROKI KURODA and MICHAEL PINEDA will both stabilize what was a shaky rotation last year. Kuroda, 37, posted a 3.07 ERA with the Dodgers and the 23-year-old Pineda has unlimited upside, fanning 173 batters in 171 innings with Seattle last season. IVAN NOVA benefitted from nearly nine runs of support per game. He keeps the ball down often enough to thrive in the Bronx, just without many strikeouts. PHIL HUGHES' stuff has regressed greatly since his days as a top prospect. He's trying to overcome conditioning problems this offseason. MANNY BANUELOS and DELLIN BETANCES are great prospects who may get a chance to start MLB games later this season.
RELIEF PITCHING: Trust MARIANO RIVERA to stay dominant until proven wrong. He was better in 2011 than he was in 2010 despite some velocity slippage. DAVID ROBERTSON has a firm hold on eighth-inning duties after an All-Star season. He's second in line for saves. RAFAEL SORIANO wasn't a total bust, as he did just fine after a rough April. He's settled into the seventh-inning role since Robertson is more trusted that he is. After Tommy John surgery, JOBA CHAMBERLAIN is aiming to be back this June. Middle reliever CORY WADE was reliable last year, and has a chance to rack up some vulture wins if he keeps going strong. |

*Orioles-Yankees Preview* =========================
Baltimore (48-38) at New York (46-39), 1:05 p.m. EDT
The New York Yankees have been on a roll since they last faced the Baltimore Orioles' Chris Tillman. They'll try for a season-high sixth straight win Saturday when they face the visiting Orioles, who have won eight straight outings by Tillman.
New York (47-39) fell four games behind second-place Baltimore (48-39) in the AL East after getting swept in three games at Camden Yards last weekend. The Yankees have bounced back by matching their longest win streak of the year to move within one-half game of the Orioles.
Baltimore's sweep was capped by a 4-2 victory Sunday in which Tillman (10-2, 3.68 ERA) gave up two runs over six innings to win his sixth start in a row. He's 7-0 with a 3.86 ERA in his past eight outings.
The right-hander has gone 6-0 with a 2.76 ERA in seven road starts, but he has a poor history in the Bronx, going 2-2 with a 9.95 ERA that's his worst mark in any ballpark in which he's pitched more than once.
Robinson Cano homered off Tillman last weekend and is 10 for 19 against him overall.
Cano is hitless in seven at-bats since a torrid six-game stretch in which he went 14 for 24 with four homers and 10 RBIs. He was intentionally walked twice in a 3-2 victory Friday.
"He's one of the best players in the game, no disrespect to anybody hitting behind him," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
The Yankees ended a five-game losing streak to the Orioles by rallying Friday to open this three-game set. They scored twice in the ninth off closer Jim Johnson, with Vernon Wells singling in the winning run past a drawn-in infield.
"It's good," Wells said. "Momentum's on our side. This is a fun one. We needed one of these."
Baltimore also lost 3-2 on Thursday in the bottom of the ninth when it surrendered a tiebreaking homer to Chicago's Adam Dunn.
New York is batting .237 against Baltimore, scoring more than three runs twice in 10 meetings.
The Orioles, though, have struck out at least 10 times in three straight games for the first time. They struck out 11 times Friday against Ivan Nova, who pitched a three-hitter.
"It's easy to say you're running into some good pitching, but you do every night in the big leagues," Showalter said. "We've got lot of guys capable of swinging it better and giving us some margin for error."
Baltimore will get its first look at Andy Pettitte (5-6, 4.40) since beating him in Game 2 of the division series last year. Pettitte gave up three runs over seven innings of that 3-2 defeat Oct. 8.
The left-hander, however, has gone 7-0 with a 2.87 ERA in his last 10 regular-season outings against the Orioles. He has 27 regular-season wins over them, second all-time behind Whitey Ford's 30 since the franchise moved to Baltimore in 1954.
Major league home run leader Chris Davis is 4 for 11 against Pettitte, including postseason. Davis has hit .353 with five homers and nine RBIs in the season series to help Baltimore take six of 10.
