Manager: Bob Melvin (seventh season)
Who's new? CF Rajai Davis, OF Matt Joyce, 3B Trevor Plouffe, IF Adam Rosales, RHP Santiago Casilla
Who's gone? IF/OF Danny Valencia, OF Brett Eibner, 2B Eric Sogard, 2B Tyler Ladendorf, LHP Dillon Overton, RHP Fernando Rodriguez
Projected lineup: CF Rajai Davis (.249, 12 HR, 48 RBI, 43 SB with Indians), C Stephen Vogt (.251, 14, 56), DH Ryon Healy (.305, 13, 37 in 72 games), LF Khris Davis (.247, 42, 102), RF Matt Joyce (.242, 13, 42 with Pirates) or Mark Canha (.122, 3, 6 in 16 games), SS Marcus Semien (.238, 27, 75, 10 SB), 3B Trevor Plouffe (.260, 12, 47 with Twins), 1B Yonder Alonso (.253, 7, 56), 2B Jed Lowrie (.263, 2, 27 in 87 games)
Rotation: RH Kendall Graveman (10-11, 4.11), LH Sean Manaea (7-9, 3.86), RH Jharel Cotton (2-0, 2.15 in five games), RH Andrew Triggs (1-1, 4.31), RH Jesse Hahn (2-4, 6.02 in nine games) and Frankie Montas (0-0, 2.38 in four games at Triple-A)
Key relievers: RH Ryan Madson (6-7, 3.62, 30/37 SV), LH Sean Doolittle (2-3, 3.23), RH Santiago Casilla (2-5, 3.57 with Giants), RH Ryan Dull (5-5, 2.42), RH John Axford (6-4, 3.97), RH Liam Hendriks (0-4, 3.76), LH Daniel Coulombe (3-1, 4.53)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter and Second Base. Triggs, Hahn and Montas are the top candidates to fill out the rotation. Montas, who turns 24 before the season, is the youngest and has the highest ceiling. Hahn is the only one with something resembling a track record of success in the majors. Triggs showed potential in five starts last year. Second base will belong to prospect Franklin Barreto at some point. For now the position belongs to Lowrie, who figures to become trade bait as the A's begin their annual migration toward mathematical elimination.
Outlook: It's been a long two years since the A's played postseason baseball. Rather than rebuilding outright, the A's spent their offseason stocking up on veteran position players. Their strength is a young rotation led by right-hander Sonny Gray ' another trade candidate who's coming off the worst of his four major league seasons (5-11, 5.69 ERA) and will miss time with a lat strain. If Cotton, Manaea and Triggs pick up where they left off, pitching won't be the problem. No team scored fewer runs than the A's in 2016, and it still isn't obvious that their lineup improved. Their home turf will be renamed in honor of Rickey Henderson when the Angels visit Oakland for the opener; maybe Rickey can hit leadoff, too. | | NY YANKEES: 2016: 84-78, fourth place
Manager: Joe Girardi (10th season)
Who's new? 1B/DH Chris Carter, 1B/LF/DH Matt Holliday, RHP Aroldis Chapman
Who's gone? 1B Mark Teixeira, C Brian McCann, RHP Nate Eovaldi, RHP Kirby Yates, RHP Anthony Swarzak, RHP Nick Goody, RHP Blake Parker
Projected lineup: LF Brett Gardner (.261, 7 HR, 41 RBI, 16 SB), CF Jacoby Ellsbury (.263, 9, 56, 20), C Gary Sanchez (.299, 20, 42 in 53 games), DH Matt Holliday (.246, 20, 62 with Cardinals), 1B Greg Bird (did not play in 2016), 2B Starlin Castro (.270, 21, 70), 3B Chase Headley (.253, 14, 51), RH Aaron Judge (.179, 4, 10 in 27 games) or Aaron Hicks (.217, 8, 31), SS Tyler Wade (.259, 5, 27 at Double-A) or Ronald Torreyes (.258, 1, 12)
Rotation: RH Masahiro Tanaka (14-4, 3.07), LH C.C. Sabathia (9-12, 3.91), RH Michael Pineda (6-12, 4.82), RH Luis Severino (3-8, 5.83), RH Chad Green (2-4, 4.73) or RH Adam Warren (4-2, 3.26) or RH Luis Cessa (4-4, 4.35) or RH Bryan Mitchell (1-2, 3.24 in five games)
Key relievers: LH Aroldis Chapman (4-1, 1.55, 36/39 SV), RH Dellin Betances (3-6, 3.08), RH Tyler Clippard (3-6, 3.57), LH Tommy Layne (2-0, 3.38), LH Chasen Shreve (2-1, 5.18)
Hot spots: Fifth starter and right field. The starter's competition is not urgent ' the Yankees have five off-days in the first month of the season ' but it's interesting nonetheless. Green, Cessa, Warren and Mitchell combined to make 22 major league starts last season. None had an outstanding spring training, so the Yankees might choose to divide the load again. Some will go to Triple-A, others to the bullpen. Someone named Aaron (Judge or Hicks) will be the Yankees' right fielder this season. If either falters, Tyler Austin or Rob Refsnyder could seize their at-bats.
Outlook: The Yankees will employ fewer past-their-prime position players in 2017 than any season this decade. Is their next generation of homegrown talent ready to take over? Sanchez is the most advanced prospect ' the catcher hit 20 home runs in 53 games as a rookie ' but beyond him lies several question marks. Greg Bird, Clint Frazier, Gleyber Torres, Judge and Austin (who was stalled in camp by a foot injury) will get a chance once they're ready. The pitching staff is led by Tanaka and the ferocious bullpen combo of Chapman, Betances and Clippard. But depth is a real question mark, and there are no blue-chip prospects at Triple-A waiting for their moment. |
| | Yankees hope Tanaka gets back on track vs. A's
NEW YORK -- Heavy rain did not provide the New York Yankees with any clarity about what is wrong with Masahiro Tanaka. Two horrific starts prompted inquiries from fans, media and even from Tanaka himself. After a rainout on Thursday, the Yankees will be curious to see if Tanaka can correct some, if not all, of the things going wrong on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series with the Oakland Athletics. In his last two starts, Tanaka's ERA has risen from 4.36 to 6.56. He allowed eight runs and seven hits in 1 2/3 innings during a 10-7 loss to the Houston Astros May 14 and followed it up by allowing six runs and nine hits in three innings during Saturday's 9-5 loss at Tampa Bay. "I can't really go too much into detail of what's going on, but yes, I was able to check to see of the things that I'm doing wrong," Tanaka said through a translator. "I feel like I'm in sort of a deep hole. "Again, I just can't put my head down. I have to lift my head up, work on the things that I need to work on and try to fix what I need to fix. Definitely it's frustrating but I'm trying to get it right." Since pitching a three-hitter in Boston on April 27, Tanaka has a 10.50 ERA in May and hitters are batting .395 against him. His worst ERA in any month with at least four starts was a 4.12 mark in six starts last June. Tanaka has been prone to home runs, allowing 13 in his first 48 innings. "As far as it being one of the worst slumps in my career, I probably have to agree with that," Tanaka said. "You have to grind it out. You can't put your head down. Physically, there's no problems at all. I feel fine." The fact that it's not physical can be viewed as a good sign for the Yankees, who are optimistic it's just a rut and not a prolonged slump. "I think as a coach you look for signs that someone is hurt," manager Joe Girardi said. "We haven't seen a real drop in velocity, we haven't seen him not being able to make a start. We haven't seen him receiving extra treatment. "He's just in a little rut now that he needs to get out of. He feels fine. The schedule has been favorable for starting pitchers in a sense to get extra days. We've had a ton of off days, so maybe getting on every fifth day will help. Who knows?" Tanaka is 3-0 with a 1.31 ERA in three career starts against Oakland. He faced the Athletics on May 21, 2016, in Oakland and allowed one run and five hits in seven innings, and on July 9, 2015, in New York, he allowed one earned run and two hits in 7 2/3 innings. Kendall Gravemen (2-2, 3.83 ERA) starts for Oakland and also is looking to reverse some recent struggles. Since returning from a strained right shoulder on April 27, he is 0-2 with a 4.97 ERA and has allowed a .289 opponents' batting average in his last five starts. Teams are hitting him well with the bases empty (.308) but are only 6-for-37 (.162) with runners in scoring position. Graveman took a third straight no-decision last Friday when he allowed two runs and six hits in six innings during a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox decided on Mark Canha's 10th inning home run. In three starts against New York, he is 1-1 with a 3.06 ERA. He allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings on May 19, 2016, in Oakland in a 4-1 loss, but April 20, 2016 in New York Graveman allowed one run and three hits in 6 1/3 innings of a 5-2 win. The Yankees have won three of their last four games after Luis Severino pitched eight outstanding innings in a 3-0 win over the Kansas City Royals. It was the first time a starting pitcher completed at least seven innings for the Yankees since Tanaka on May 8 in Cincinnati. New York will be without Jacoby Ellsbury, who is on the seven-day concussion list. Ellsbury crashed into the center field wall on Wednesday tracking down a fly ball by Alcides Escobar and was diagnosed with a concussion and a sprained neck. Oakland is 5-3 in its last eight games following a four-game losing streak May 12-15. The A's are among the major league leaders in home runs with 68 but also lead the majors with 46 errors. Both things showed up in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Miami Marlins, as Khris Davis slugged his 14th homer but the defense made three more errors. "We know that defense is part of the equation," general manager David Forst told the San Jose Mercury News. "We've pitched well. We've hit homers. We haven't done everything, and defense is a part of that." Davis was 4-for-24 with 10 strikeouts last season vs. the Yankees and is batting .171 this month. Jed Lowrie was 4-for-4 Wednesday and is 13-for-25 (.520) in his last six games following a 4-for-31 skid. "Really consistent the whole year," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said of Lowrie. Yonder Alonso did not play Wednesday because of an injured right hand/wrist contusion. He was hit by a pitch Tuesday but is expected to play Friday. |
