Manager: Joe Maddon (third season)
Who's new? OF Jon Jay, RHP Wade Davis, LHP Brett Anderson, RHP Koji Uehara, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Eddie Butler
Who's gone? OF Dexter Fowler, IF/OF Jorge Soler, LHP Aroldis Chapman, LHP Travis Wood, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jason Hammel
Projected lineup: LF Kyle Schwarber (.000, 0 HR, 0 RBI in two games), 3B Kris Bryant (.292, 39, 102), 1B Anthony Rizzo (.292, 32, 109), 2B Ben Zobrist (.272, 18, 76), SS Addison Russell (.238, 21, 95), RF Jason Heyward (.230, 7, 49, 11 SB), C Willson Contreras (.282, 12, 35), CF Jon Jay (.291, 2, 26 with Padres) or Albert Almora (.277, 3, 14 in 47 games)
Rotation: LH Jon Lester (19-5, 2.44 ERA), RH Jake Arrieta (18-8, 3.10), RH Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13), RH John Lackey (11-8, 3.35), LH Brett Anderson (1-2, 11.91 in four games with Dodgers) or LH Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.52 with Mariners and Cubs) or RH Eddie Butler (2-5, 7.17 with Rockies) or LH Rob Zastryzny (1-0, 1.13 ERA in eight games) or RH Alec Mills (0-0, 13.50 in three games with Royals)
Key relievers: RH Wade Davis (2-1, 1.87, 27/30 SV with Royals), RH Pedro Strop (2-2, 2.85), RH Hector Rondon (2-3, 3.53, 18/23 SV), RH Koji Uehara (2-3, 3.45, 7/9 SV with Red Sox), RH Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1, 3.75), RH Justin Grimm (2-1, 4.10), LH Brian Duensing (1-0, 4.05 with Royals)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter. Of all the candidates vying to replace Hammel, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent, most have plenty of upside but didn't log many innings last year. That includes Anderson, who had one productive season and one unproductive season for the Dodgers. Keep an eye on southpaw Montgomery, who tossed two shutouts as a starter for the Mariners in 2015, came to the Cubs last year in a midseason trade, then was effective as a reliever. Last time he was on the mound, he recorded the save in Game 7 of the World Series.
Outlook: There hasn't been a back-to-back champion this century. For opponents of the Cubs, that might be the most tangible nugget of hope. Most of the key players return from a powerhouse team that played historically good defense, got no fewer than 165 innings from each of its top five starters, and featured a deep lineup led by NL MVP Kris Bryant. In the bullpen, two-time All-Star Davis is capable of replacing closer Chapman if he's healthy. Among the Cubs' regular position players, only Zobrist and new center fielder Jay are over 30 ' everyone else is either entering or in the midst of his prime. This is a strong outlook. | | PITTSBURGH: 2016: 78-83, third place
Manager: Clint Hurdle (seventh season)
Who's new? RHP Daniel Hudson, IF Phil Gosselin
Who's gone? IF Sean Rodriguez, OF Matt Joyce, SP Jeff Locke, SP Ryan Vogelsong, RP Neftali Feliz, C Eric Fryer
Projected lineup: 2B Josh Harrison (.283, 4 HR, 59 RBI, 19 SB), 1B Josh Bell (.273, 3, 19), RF Andrew McCutchen (.256, 24, 79), CF Starling Marte (.311, 9, 46, 47 SB), LF Gregory Polanco (.258, 22, 86), 3B Jung-ho Kang (.255, 21, 62), C Francisco Cervelli (.264, 1, 33), SS Jordy Mercer (.256, 11, 59)
Rotation: RH Gerrit Cole (7-10, 3.88 ERA), RH Ivan Nova (12-8, 4.17 for Yankees and Pirates), RH Jameson Taillon (5-4, 3.38), RH Chad Kuhl (5-4, 4.20), RH Drew Hutchison (1-0, 5.25 with Blue Jays and Pirates) or Steven Brault (0-3, 4.86) or Trevor Williams (1-1, 7.82) or Tyler Glasnow (0-2, 4.24)
Key relievers: LH Tony Watson (2-5, 3.06, 15/20 SV), RH Daniel Hudson (3-2, 5.22 with Diamondbacks), LH Felipe Rivero (1-6, 4.09 for Nationals and Pirates), RH Juan Nicasio (10-7, 4.50), LH Antonio Bastardo (3-0, 4.52 with Mets and Pirates), RH Jared Hughes (1-1, 3.03), LH Wade LeBlanc (4-0, 3.77 with Mariners and Pirates)
Hot spots: Rotation and closer. Right-hander Glasnow, 23, is a consensus top-25 prospect who made his major league debut last year. The Pirates would love to see him seize the fifth starter's job in camp, but right-hander Hutchison offers a more experienced option if Glasnow isn't ready. Watson became the closer after Mark Melancon was traded to Washington last summer, but his sinker/slider/changeup mix isn't typical ninth-inning stuff. Keep an eye on Rivero, a 25-year-old lefty acquired in the Melancon trade. His fastball actually gained velocity as last season wore on, eventually touching triple digits. Rivero might begin the season as the set-up man but his ascension to the ninth inning seems inevitable.
Outlook: The Pirates made some interesting tweaks after missing the playoffs for the first time in four years. They made no major trades, signed only two major league free agents (pitchers Nova and Hudson) and revamped Hurdle's coaching staff. They also moved their outfielders around: McCutchen goes from center to right, Marte from left to center, and Polanco from right to left. McCutchen is coming off the worst season of his career. So is ace right-hander Cole. The path back to the playoffs begins with the two stars bouncing back. If the team's other homegrown talent ' Taillon, Glasnow, Bell and Polanco ' continue their evolution, Pittsburgh should return to the postseason in 2017. |
| | Cole, Hendricks get rematch as Pirates host Cubs
PITTSBURGH -- The 2017 season is young, but a pitching rematch will take place Tuesday when the Chicago Cubs' Kyle Hendricks faces the Pittsburgh Pirates' Gerrit Cole at PNC Park. Cole won the first confrontation, a 4-2 decision on April 14 at Wrigley Field. It was a solid outing for the big right-hander, and a much-needed one after he started the season with poor starts against the Boston Red Sox on Opening Day and vs. the Atlanta Braves six days later. Trying to rebound from an injury-marred 2016 season, during which he twice went on the disabled list, Cole gave up eight runs in 11 innings over his first two starts. He has performed much better since then, beginning with the win over the Cubs (six innings, two earned runs). Last Wednesday, in a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, the only runs he gave up came on a pair of Dexter Fowler home runs. "Gerrit was very competitive," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said the Wednesday game. "He used his entire mix of pitches. First-pitch strikes got him in front of people. Curveball played, changeup played. A very good game." Cole is 1-2 with a 4.70 ERA this season. He has pitched six innings in each of his past three starts, the last two on the road. Perhaps more relevant, along with his recent work, he is 9-2 with a 3.00 ERA against the Cubs. The Pirates will look to Cole to help recover from a 14-3 loss to Chicago on Monday. The Cubs ripped Chad Kuhl for nine runs on eight hits in 1 2/3 innings. Chicago right fielder Jason Heyward hit his third home run in four games, a three-run shot off Kuhl, and drove in another run on a ground ball. He now has 11 RBIs in his past four games. It was Pittsburgh's first loss to the Cubs this season after the Pirates rang up a three-game sweep of the World Series champs in the season's first meeting April 14-16 at Wrigley Field. If Cole is straightening himself out, the same cannot be said, yet, for Hendricks, whose 2016 season (16-8, 2.13 ERA) arguably surpassed that of his more celebrated teammate, Jake Arrieta. Hendricks has started slowly, posting a 1-1 record with a bloated 6.19 ERA. He has allowed four home runs in his three starts. Last season, it took him 11 starts to touch that number. Against the Pirates in his career, Hendricks is 3-2 with a 3.77 ERA. "Kyle is still not on top of his game yet," manager Joe Maddon said after Hendricks yielded four earned runs in five innings during a 7-4 Cubs win over the Milwaukee Brewers last Wednesday. A cerebral craftsman, Hendricks does not throw hard, relying instead on command and location. That has been lacking so far. He walked four on Wednesday and has issued seven passes in 16 innings so far. A small sample, to be sure, but last season Hendricks was twice as efficient, walking 44 in 190 innings. |
