KEY GAME INFORMATION
TAMPA BAY: 2016: 68-94, fifth place
Manager: Kevin Cash (third season)
Who's new? OF Colby Rasmus, OF/1B Rickie Weeks Jr., RHP Tommy Hunter, RHP Jumbo Diaz, C Wilson Ramos, C Derek Norris, OF Mallex Smith, RHP Jose De Leon, RHP Shawn Tolleson
Who's gone? 2B Logan Forsythe, IF/OF Steve Pearce, OF Desmond Jennings, OF Mikie Mahtook, C Hank Conger, IF/OF Taylor Motter, C Bobby Wilson, LHP Drew Smyly, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Steve Geltz, LHP Dana Eveland, RHP Kevin Jepsen, RHP Tyler Sturdevant, RHP Dylan Floro
Projected lineup: DH Corey Dickerson (.245, 24, 70), CF Kevin Kiermaier (.246, 12, 37, 21 SB), 3B Evan Longoria (.273, 36, 98), 2B Brad Miller (.243, 30, 81), RF Steven Souza (.247, 17, 49), LF Colby Rasmus (.206, 15, 54 with Astros), SS Tim Beckham (.247, 5, 16), 1B Logan Morrison (.238, 14, 43), C Curt Casali (.186, 8, 25)
Rotation: RH Chris Archer (9-19, 4.02 ERA), RH Jake Odorizzi (10-6, 3.69), RH Alex Cobb (1-2, 8.59 in five starts), LH Blake Snell (6-8, 3.54), RH Matt Andriese (8-8, 4.37)
Key relievers: RH Alex Colome (2-4, 1.91, 37/40 SV), RH Tommy Hunter (2-2, 3.18 with Indians), RH Danny Farquhar (1-0, 3.06), LH Xavier Cede'o (3-4, 3.70), RH Erasmo Ramirez (7-11, 3.77), RH Jumbo Diaz (1-1, 3.14), RH Chase Whitley (0-0, 2.51)
Hot spots: Shortstop and catcher. Tim Beckham and the combination of Curt Casali and newly signed Derek Norris are holding down the fort while Matt Duffy and Wilson Ramos recover from injuries. Beckham and Casali or Norris can at least try to make the situation awkward by hitting. That wasn't their strong suit last year, but the Rays will need someone to bat eighth and ninth while Ramos (knee surgery; out until July) and Duffy (Achilles surgery; out until May) heal.
Outlook: How do you fix a team that ranked eighth in the AL in ERA and 14th in runs scored? If you're the Rays, you trade away your second-best hitter (Forsythe) for a pitcher who will start the season in Triple-A (De Leon), then sign an outfielder with a .641 OPS (Rasmus) to be your second-highest paid player. Expectations for a team with the third-lowest payroll in the game shouldn't be high to begin with. Getting Duffy and Ramos back from the DL will help, but not enough to slow rumors of Archer, Cobb and Odorizzi getting traded if they pitch well.
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.
PREVIEW
Spotlight shines on Archer as Rays visit Pirates
 

PITTSBURGH -- Even if the performance doesn't always match the big-arm expectations, Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Chris Archer remains a valuable piece of a team in playoff contention. He also seems to be a desired commodity.

Archer, scheduled to start against right-hander Jameson Taillon and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday at PNC Park, has surfaced as a trade target for the second straight season.

The Braves reportedly are interested, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. And other clubs are sure to line up.

Archer's numbers (6-4, 3.88 ERA) are serviceable in the reincarnation of the Home Run Era. The big number, however, is 126, the strikeouts accumulated by the 28-year-old right-hander over 104 1/3 innings. In 2016, Archer fanned 233, second in the American League behind Justin Verlander's 254. He also was 9-19 with a 4.02 ERA.

In 2015, Archer finished second in the American League with 255 strikeouts and made the All-Star team. During that season and in the two prior, his ERA was well below 4.00.

Archer continues to tease this season. His ERA was 2.21 after three starts. Since then it is 4.29. In his past six outings, he has alternately given up two, four, two, four, two and four earned runs, pitching six to 7 2/3 innings.

"I think Arch is throwing the ball really well," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "I think there's been times when he's given us every opportunity to win, and maybe that night our bats were on fire or we were outpitched on the other side.

"But he's done some good things. His last start, maybe he wasn't the sharpest, but maybe it was our turn as an offense. There are a lot of tight ballgames when Arch is on the mound, and one play here or one play there can define the outing."

In that last start, Archer gave up five runs (four earned) in six innings and won his second straight decision as the Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 15-5 on Friday.

Taillon (3-2, 3.33 ERA), making his fourth start since returning from testicular cancer surgery, yielded two runs in six innings and struck out seven on Friday at St. Louis. He got a no-decision in the Pirates' 4-3 victory.

Given the recently shaky work of their bullpens, Cash and Pirates manager Clint Hurdle are realistically hoping for long outings from their starters Thursday.

Both teams' problems appeared in the first game of the series Tuesday when Tampa Bay won 4-2 in 10 innings. Rays closer Alex Colome blew another save, and Pirates closer (although Hurdle won't call him that) Felipe Rivero gave up the deciding runs.

On Wednesday, four Pirates relievers pitched a scoreless inning apiece in a 6-2 victory. Beforehand, Hurdle said he has not had "bullpen turbulence at this magnitude" in his seven years as the Bucs' skipper.

"This is complete outlier. Have I had it before? Yeah. I managed in Colorado for eight years," Hurdle said. "That's just a hard place to pitch. It could be maddening. This is a different avenue for us to work through together.

"The guys are in a good frame of mind as far as wanting to carry their load, wanting to carry their responsibility. Nobody's feeling sorry for themselves. They all tell us they're available, they all want to pitch. So it's been a different challenge, without a doubt."
