Manager: Terry Collins (seventh season)
Who's new? No one of note
Who's gone? 1B James Loney, IF/OF Kelly Johnson, OF Alejandro De Aza, RHP Bartolo Colon, LHP Jonathon Niese
Projected lineup: CF Curtis Granderson (.237, 30 HR, 59 RBI), 3B David Wright (.226, 7, 14 in 37 games), LF Yoenis Cespedes (.280, 31, 86), RF Jay Bruce (.250, 33, 99 with Reds and Mets), 2B Neil Walker (.282, 23, 55), SS Asdrubal Cabrera (.280, 23, 62), 1B Lucas Duda (.229, 7, 23 in 47 games), C Travis d'Arnaud (.247, 4, 15)
Rotation: RH Noah Syndergaard (14-9, 2.60 ERA), RH Jacob deGrom (7-8, 3.04), RH Matt Harvey (4-10, 4.86), LH Steven Matz (9-8, 3.40), RH Zack Wheeler or RH Robert Gsellman (4-2, 2.42) or RH Seth Lugo (5-2, 2.67)
Key relievers: RH Jeurys Familia (3-4, 2.55, 51/56 SV), RH Addison Reed (4-2, 1.97), RH Hansel Robles (6-4, 3.48), LH Jerry Blevins (4-2, 2.79), RH Fernando Salas (3-7, 3.91)
Hot spots: First base and third base. Duda missed 115 games last season because of a stress fracture in his lower back. When healthy, the veteran first baseman slugged a career-low .714. Former first-round draft pick Dominic Smith, 21, could be in position to battle for the starting spot soon. He'll likely begin the season at Triple-A. Franchise third baseman Wright doesn't have a hot prospect pushing him out the door, but how much game does he have left? The perennial All-Star only began throwing a baseball in February after an eight-month recovery from neck surgery. Wright had a degenerative back and has only played 75 games the last two years. Getting a full season from him at age 34 would be a shock.
Outlook: The Mets' championship window opened with a surprise World Series run in 2015, and their front office seems convinced it's still open. The club invested four years and $110 million to keep Yoenis Cespedes in the outfield. The Mets also exercised club options on Jay Bruce and Jose Reyes, and brought Neil Walker back on a qualifying offer. The result? Almost everyone returns from a club that lost a wild-card game to the Giants last October. The franchise is oozing young pitching ' Syndergaard might be the best right-hander on the planet ' but another World Series appearance might be too much to expect from a team that ranked 25th in runs per game last season. | | PHILADELPHIA: 2016: 71-91, fourth place
Manager: Pete Mackanin (third season)
Who's new? LF Howie Kendrick, RF Michael Saunders, C Ryan Hanigan, OF Chris Coghlan, RHP Clay Buchholz, RHP Joaquin Benoit
Who's gone? C A.J. Ellis, 1B Ryan Howard, INF Andres Blanco, OF Peter Bourjos, RHP Charlie Morton, RHP David Hernandez
Projected lineup: 2B Cesar Hernandez (.294, 6 HR, 39 RBI, 17 SB), LF Howie Kendrick (.255, 8, 40, 10 with Dodgers), CF Odubel Herrera (.286, 15, 49, 25), 3B Maikel Franco (.255, 25, 88), RF Michael Saunders (.253, 24, 57 with Blue Jays), 1B Tommy Joseph (.257, 21, 47), C Cameron Rupp (.252, 16, 54), SS Freddy Galvis (.241, 3, 20, 17 SB)
Rotation: RH Jeremy Hellickson (11-14, 3.65 ERA), RH Aaron Nola (6-9, 4.78), RH Clay Buchholz (8-10, 4.78 with Red Sox), RH Vince Velasquez (8-6, 4.12), Jerad Eickhoff (11-14, 3.65)
Key relievers: Jeanmar Gomez (3-5, 4.85, 37/43 SV), Joaquin Benoit (2-0, 0.38 with Blue Jays), Hector Neris (4-4, 2.58), Pat Neshek (2-2, 3.06 with Astros), Edubray Ramos (1-3, 3.83)
Hot spots: Shortstop and closer. Philadelphia is waiting for the arrival of J.P. Crawford, the marquee name in the farm system. Crawford struggled in his first exposure to Triple-A last year, batting .250 with seven home runs in 123 games. In the meantime shortstop belongs to Galvis, who had an MLB-worst .274 on-base percentage last season. Crawford will get a chance once he's deemed ready. Gomez had a 19.13 ERA last September, possibly opening the door for Ramos, Neris or newcomer Benoit to seize the closer's job in spring training.
Outlook: On the long road back to respectability, the Phillies appear closer to the end than the beginning. Young starters Nola, Velasquez and Eickhoff showed flashes of brilliance last year. So did center fielder Herrera, who was rewarded with a five-year contract extension. He's the only player on the roster with a guaranteed contract beyond this year. That points to 2017 as a major transition year with prospects and veterans auditioning for jobs in 2018 and beyond, when the Phillies can be active in free agency. |
| | Mets hope for another long night in Philly
PHILADELPHIA -- If the recent results are any indication, the New York Mets wouldn't mind playing more games at Citizens Bank Park than scheduled. They have been treating their rival Phillies' field like home run derby grounds. "When we left New York the other day, we knew the weather was going to be good (in Philadelphia)," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "They were excited to come because they like to hit here." The Mets (5-3) hit seven home runs in a 14-4 drubbing Tuesday night. Yoenis Cespedes accounted for three of them and Lucas Duda hit two. They outhit the Phillies 20-8 and have hit 46 home runs in their last 21 games at Citizens Bank Park. "The ballpark helps, and I think the weather helps," Cespedes said through an interpreter. "But I personally think this team has just prepared really well." The victory -- their second in as many nights -- gave the Mets their 15th series win in their last 17 against the Phillies. "You got to win series", Collins said. "That's all you talk about at the beginning of the year, just go out and win series'. We've got another one tomorrow." The only negative came when Mets starter Matt Harvey left after 5 2/3 innings Tuesday night. He felt some cramping in his left hamstring after covering first base. The root, perhaps, was from watching his offense too long while sitting in the dugout. It's not serious, Harvey said. "Another embarrassing game against the Mets," was all Phillies manager Pete Mackanin could say after the defeat Tuesday. Wednesday, the Phillies will hope right-hander Vince Velasquez (0-1, 9.00 ERA) can stop the bleeding. He'll face Mets righty Zack Wheeler (0-1, 11.25). Some bad blood boiled over into the first game of this three-game series Monday, when Phillies reliever Edubray Ramos -- perhaps seeking revenge on Asdrubal Cabrera for an emphatic bat flip in September -- threw over Cabrera's head. The Phillies held a team meeting Tuesday and Mackanin met with Ramos one-on-one, with the reliever saying there was no intent. "He told me that he did not do it intentionally," Mackanin told reporters before the game. "So I'll take him at his word." There was no retaliation in the game Tuesday night, and there shouldn't be any expected Wednesday. The Phillies (3-5) should be more concerned about their their woes against their National League East foe. Velasquez had some success against the Mets in his rookie year in 2016. In three starts, he compiled a 1-1 record with 20 strikeouts in 15 1/3 innings pitched. He lasted only four innings in his 2017 debut Friday against the Washington Nationals. He allowed four runs on five hits, including two homers, while striking out 10. It was the long ball that did him in and it's the long ball that's causing the New York dominance over Philadelphia lately. |
