Manager: A.J. Hinch (third season)
Who's new? RF Josh Reddick, CF Carlos Beltran, LF Nori Aoki, C Brian McCann, RHP Charlie Morton
Who's gone? C Jason Castro, INF Luis Valbuena, OF Colby Rasmus, RHP Doug Fister
Projected lineup: CF George Springer (.261, 29 HR, 82 RBI), 2B Jose Altuve (.338, 24, 96, 30 SB), SS Carlos Correa (.274, 20, 96, 13 SB), DH Carlos Beltran (.295, 29, 93 with Yankees and Rangers), C Brian McCann (.242, 20, 58 with Yankees) or Evan Gattis (.251, 32, 72), 3B Alex Bregman (.264, 8, 34 in 49 games), RF Josh Reddick (.281, 10, 37 with A's and Dodgers), 1B Yulieski Gurriel (.262, 3, 15), LF Nori Aoki (.283, 4, 28 with Mariners)
Rotation: LH Dallas Keuchel (9-12, 4.55 ERA), RH Collin McHugh (13-10, 4.34), RH Mike Fiers (11-8, 4.48), RH Lance McCullers (6-5, 3.22), RH Charlie Morton (1-1, 4.15 in four games with Phillies)
Key relievers: RH Ken Giles (2-5, 4.11, 15/20 SV), RH Luke Gregerson (4-3, 3.28, 15/21 SV), RH Will Harris (1-2, 2.25, 12/15 SV), RH Chris Devenski (4-4, 2.16), LH Tony Sipp (1-2, 4.95), RH Michael Feliz (8-1, 4.43)
Hot spots: Fifth starter and catcher. Hamstring issues limited 33-year-old Morton to four starts with the Phillies last season. That didn't stop the Astros from signing him to a two-year contract worth at least $14 million. Now, veteran Fiers and 24-year-old Joe Musgrove are on the bubble for the fifth starter's job. McCann and Gattis give the Astros a pair of veteran catchers with slugging potential. McCann has fewer weaknesses behind the plate; Gattis is the better all-around hitter. With Beltran aboard as the primary designated hitter, McCann and Gattis won't both be in the lineup on most nights.
Outlook: After slipping to third place in the AL West last year, the Astros' front office decided to double down on dingers rather than upgrade a rotation that lacks a true ace. The result: A lineup with eight potential 20-home run hitters, including possible MVP candidates in Altuve and Correa. Everyone returns from an impressive young bullpen with high strikeout potential. If the Astros are in contention by the trade deadline, the front office should have the financial flexibility to add a front-line starter. Then again, if Dallas Keuchel looks like the pitcher who won a Cy Young Award in 2015, Houston might not have a problem. | | 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. |
| | Astros look to stay perfect in Oakland
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics have had a decided home-field advantage against most teams they have faced at Oakland Coliseum this season. Then there are the Houston Astros. Houston improved to 5-0 against the A's at the Coliseum on Wednesday night with a 5-1 victory, the Astros' ninth consecutive win in Oakland. The A's haven't defeated Houston at the Coliseum since July 19, 2016, when they needed 10 innings for a 4-3 win. The Astros have won the first three games of the series and will go for a sweep on Thursday afternoon. "I think it comes and goes," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said before Wednesday's game. "Not too long ago, we would come to this place and something crazy would happen and they would win a lot of close games. I don't really have the answer, other than we've played well against them in the last stretch. "But we've got a few games in this ballpark before the season ends. We've got to keep playing well, keep putting pressure on them. We've played from ahead a lot, which is good, a good way for us to win because our 'pen's pretty good." The Astros took a 3-0 lead in the sixth inning Wednesday, then rolled to their 14th victory in the past 15 games between the two teams. A's right-hander Jesse Hahn will make his 12th start of the season when he faces Astros rookie right-hander David Paulino in the series finale Thursday. Hahn (3-4, 3.56 ERA) is 2-0 with a 2.81 ERA in three starts since returning to the rotation after a stint on the disabled list with a strained right triceps. "I feel good about everything," Hahn said. "I feel confident right now. Every start I'm just looking to go out there and build and put zeros on the board. That's just my mindset right now: Try to go out there and win." Hahn is 1-3 with a 6.05 ERA in four career starts against the Astros. He took the loss in his lone start against them this year, a 7-2 defeat on April 30 at Houston. He gave up four runs (three earned) on eight hits over six innings, striking out six without issuing a walk. Hahn is well aware of the challenge he faces against an Astros team that has George Springer, Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa at the top of its batting order. "They're incredible," Hahn said. "They have a great team. Those guys are so good at the top of their lineup. They make that team so much better. I think you have to try to do as best you can to keep (Springer and Altuve) off base at the same time. One of them is OK, but when they both get on base, they're very dangerous. "They like to run, they like to hit and run. And then you've got Correa and other guys coming up after them that also have power. For me, you've got to try to limit the top of the order from getting on base." Paulino, a 6-foot-7 Dominican Republic native, is coming off his first major league victory, in his fifth start and seventh appearance. He allowed one run on three hits over six innings in a 7-1 victory against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday at Minute Maid Park. Paulino, 23, struck out four and walked one. "He looked great," Astros catcher Brian McCann said. "For somebody that tall to have four pitches, what stands out to me most is how he can control (them). He pounds the strike zone. "When you have his kind of stuff and you can locate, there's no reason he can't build off that. I think the more experience he gets, the better he's going to be." |
