|
| |  | SAN FRANCISCO: HITTING: The Giants scored the second-fewest runs in the majors. But the additions of OF MELKY CABRERA (.305 BA, 18 HR, 87 RBI, 102 runs) and OF ANGEL PAGAN (32 SB) at the top of the order will certainly help. C BUSTER POSEY's surgically repaired ankle should be fully healed for the start of the season, and the 25-year-old's .368 OBP is certainly needed. 3B PABLO SANDOVAL was the team's best hitter in 2011 (.315 BA, 23 HR, 70 RBI) and was the only legitimate power source. The right side of the infield consists of veteran players past their prime. 1B AUBREY HUFF had his worst season, hitting .246 with 12 HR, but the 35-year-old will continue to bat in the middle of the lineup. 2B FREDDY SANCHEZ, 34, missed 50+ games for the third straight year as he suffered a torn labrum. SS BRANDON CRAWFORD has a slick glove but he's not close to being a legitimate major-league hitter (.204 career BA). OF BRANDON BELT, 23, has future star potential, but will be in a reserve role. OF NATE SCHIERHOLTZ (.756 OPS) provides a reliable bat in right field.
STARTING PITCHING: San Francisco ranked second in the majors in ERA (3.28), strikeouts (5.4 per game) and Opp. BA (.237). TIM LINCECUM was the ace once again with a 2.74 ERA and 220 strikeouts, but carried a sub-.500 record (13-14). Including playoffs, Lincecum has thrown an average of 230 innings per season since 2008. MATT CAIN also had a phenomenal year, carting a 2.88 ERA, team-best 1.08 WHIP and fanning 179 batters. He allowed only nine home runs in 221.2 innings of work. 22-year-old lefty MADISON BUMGARNER had a solid first full season, finishing with a 3.21 ERA, and a 4.2 K-to-BB ratio (191 strikeouts, 46 walks). RYAN VOGELSONG was an unbelievable story, returning to the majors for the first time since 2006 and going 13-7 with a 2.71 ERA. Although he's 34, his arm has plenty of innings left. BARRY ZITO will likely earn the final spot in the rotation as prospect ERIC SURKAMP gets more seasoning in Triple-A. Zito posted a career-worst 5.87 ERA while Surkamp carted a 1.84 WHIP in six starts.
RELIEF PITCHING: The success of the San Francisco bullpen hinges on BRIAN WILSON, who had a down year (1.47 WHIP, 54 K, 31 BB) because of elbow problems. Surgery was not required for his ailment, so expect a nice bounce-back season from this elite closer. If Wilson gets injured again, SERGIO ROMO could get called upon in the late innings. But even if he doesn't save a game, he still has plenty of value as a set-up man, notching a gaudy 13.1 strikeout rate and 0.71 WHIP last year. In 48 innings, he struck out 70 batters and only walked five. JEREMY AFFELDT is the top lefty in the Giants pen. He notched a strong 2.63 ERA and also tallied a career-best 1.15 WHIP last year. | | 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. |

*Giants-Yankees Preview* ========================
San Francisco (71-82) at New York (80-73), 1:05 p.m. EDT
The New York Yankees know they may have to win every remaining game for a chance at making the playoffs, and Ivan Nova's interleague history gives them hope in their next one.
The Yankees have won nine of 10 career starts by Nova against the NL heading into Saturday's home matchup with the San Francisco Giants.
New York (81-73) won 5-1 on Friday in the opener of this three-game set behind Alex Rodriguez's tiebreaking grand slam in the seventh inning. He set a major league record with the 24th of his career, breaking a tie with Lou Gehrig.
"It's an unbelievable accomplishment and it's a big one for us," manager Joe Girardi said. "I don't know if we can afford to lose any more games."
New York opened a six-game homestand after losing five of its last six on a 10-game trip.
"I kind of look at every game here on out as extremely, extremely important and we needed it," Girardi said. "And to be able to come home after a tough road trip that started out well and ended poorly, I thought it was important."
The homer snapped a 1-for-25 slide for Rodriguez and was his 14th slam for the Yankees, moving him ahead of Joe DiMaggio for second place on the franchise list behind Gehrig.
"I'm a huge fan of Lou Gehrig, everything he's done, going back to his college days in New York," Rodriguez said. "He's kind of the gold standard for a Yankee. Special moment. I'll think about it someday."
It would be special if New York somehow reached the playoffs, and Nova (8-5, 3.36 ERA) has hit a rough patch this month in going 0-1 with a 7.07 ERA in three starts.
The right-hander has never faced San Francisco (71-83), but he could be confident Saturday since he is 6-1 with a 2.67 ERA in 10 interleague starts - 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in two this year.
If Marco Scutaro misses a fifth straight game with a pinkie injury, the only Giants hitter Nova will have faced prior to Saturday is Angel Pagan, who is 0 for 3.
Pagan will return to center field after manager Bruce Bochy opted Friday for Bronx native Juan Perez. The rookie doubled in the Giants' only run in the third inning.
Nova will likely have Chris Stewart as a batterymate after Girardi chose to rest the catcher Friday since the Yankees got home late from Toronto. Stewart will play for the first time against the team he played 67 games for in 2011 before he was traded to New York on April 4, 2012, for reliever George Kontos, who gave up Rodriguez's slam Friday.
"I can't thank the Giants enough for giving me that opportunity," Stewart told the Giants' official website. "They're the ones who kind of put me in the spotlight and allowed me to show what I could do."
Bochy said that Buster Posey will catch the remainder of this series. The star went 1 for 4 as the designated hitter Friday and has two hits in 25 at-bats.
Posey will be behind the plate for right-hander Ryan Vogelsong (3-5, 5.73), who has never started versus the Yankees and made two relief appearances against them in 2005 while with Pittsburgh.
The New York hitter who has faced Vogelsong the most is Alfonso Soriano, who is 5 for 15 with a homer. Soriano went 2 for 3 with a home run Friday.
