KEY GAME INFORMATION
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.
OAKLAND: 2016: 69-93, fifth place
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.
PREVIEW
A's look for split vs. Marlins behind Gray
 

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Sonny Gray took a big step in his last start toward recapturing the form he had his first three years in the major leagues.

The Oakland A's right-hander will try to make more strides Wednesday afternoon against the Miami Marlins at the Oakland Coliseum.

Gray (1-1, 3.97 ERA) allowed three runs on four hits over six innings Thursday in an 8-3 victory against the Boston Red Sox, earning his first win since July 26, 2016. He had a season-high eight strikeouts and walked one.

"I think toward the end you saw the breaking ball that you've seen in the past," A's manager Bob Melvin said Tuesday before the Athletics' 11-9 loss to Miami in the opener of a two-game interleague series. "When he's getting swings and misses and strikeouts with it, really bad swings, that's kind of where he was before he had the injuries last year.

"Each and every outing, he's getting more comfortable. The stuff is there, the fastball velocity is there, the movement. He's knocking some of the rust off as far as with his breaking ball. I think the last three or four innings of his last game was the best we've seen him."

Gray went 33-20 in his first three seasons from 2013-15. In 2015, he was 14-7 with a 2.73 ERA and was selected for the American League All-Star team. Last year, Gray went 5-11 with a 5.69 ERA and spent two stints on the disabled list, the first with a strained right trapezius and the second with a strained right forearm.

A's catcher Stephen Vogt said he saw signs of the 2015 version of Gray against Boston.

"He really made some major strides for him and got comfortable doing some things that he hadn't been doing for the last little bit," Vogt said. "We're looking for him to come out and give us a chance to win, like he does. He's our guy. He felt good, and he feels good still in between starts. He had a good feel for both breaking pitches and his changeup.

"He was Sonny. You look at the confidence he was throwing his breaking ball with and the confidence he was throwing his fastball with. That's the best feel he's had for the breaking ball in some time.

Gray will face a Marlins team that had a season-high 19 hits on Tuesday night against Oakland. Justin Bour went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBIs and four runs.

Miami right-hander Edinson Volquez will make his eighth start of the season, and he is still searching for win No. 1. Volquez, 33, is 0-6 with a 4.87 ERA in his first season with the Marlins. Last year with Kansas City, he went 10-11 with a 5.37 ERA, and he was 13-9 with a 3.55 ERA for the Royals in 2015 when they won the World Series.

Volquez has 41 strikeouts, but he has walked 27 in 40 2/3 innings.

"I just want (Volquez) to be able to attack the strike zone as much as anything with his stuff," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "If he's getting ahead with his fastball and being able to locate it, everything works off of that. His changeup works off of that, his curveball works off of that and his slider works off of that.

"When he's out of the strike zone, behind in the count, it puts hitters in a better position and he can't be as aggressive. Hitters aren't as aggressive so they're not chasing as much."

Oakland had three home runs on Tuesday, one each from Yonder Alonso, Ryon Healy and Rajai Davis. Oakland has 67 home runs this season and has homered in 15 of the past 16 games.

Alonso, who as a career-high 13 home runs, returned to the lineup after missing four consecutive games with a strained left knee. However, he was hit by a pitch in the right hand in the sixth inning and left the game before the start of the seventh with contusions on his hand and wrist. X-rays were negative, but it was not known whether Alonso would be able to play Wednesday.

Marlins center fielder Christian Yelich left the game in the bottom of the eighth inning with a hip flexor injury. He is day-to-day.
