Manager: Craig Counsell (third season)
Who's new? 1B Eric Thames, 3B Travis Shaw, C Jett Bandy, RHP Neftali Feliz, RHP Joba Chamberlain, LHP Tommy Milone
Who's gone? 1B Chris Carter, C Martin Maldonado, OF Rymer Liriano, RHP Tyler Thornburg, RHP Blaine Boyer, LHP Chris Capuano
Projected lineup: 2B Jonathan Villar (.285, 19 HR, 63 RBI, 62 SB), SS Orlando Arcia (.219, 4, 17), LF Ryan Braun (.305, 30, 91, 16), 1B Eric Thames (.317, 40, 118, 13 SBs in Korea), RF Domingo Santana (.256, 11, 32), 3B Travis Shaw (.242, 16, 71 with Red Sox), CF Keon Broxton (.242, 9, 19, 23 SB), C Jett Bandy (.234, 8, 25 with Angels)
Rotation: Junior Guerra (9-3, 2.81 ERA), Zach Davies (11-7, 3.97), Matt Garza (4-8, 4.51), Wily Peralta (7-11, 3.86), Jimmy Nelson (8-16, 4.62) or Chase Anderson (9-11, 4.39) or Tommy Milone (3-5, 5.71 with Twins)
Key relievers: RHP Neftali Feliz (4-2, 3.52 with Pirates), RHP Corey Knebel (1-4, 4.68), RHP Carlos Torres (3-3, 2.73), RHP Jhan Marinez (0-1, 3.22), RHP Joba Chamberlain (0-0, 2.25 with Indians), RHP Jacob Barnes (0-1, 2.70), RHP Tyler Cravy (0-1, 2.86)
Hot spot: Fifth starter. Guerra and Davies began last season in the minors, then emerged as pleasant surprises in an otherwise long season. Now the Brewers have seven candidates for five rotation jobs. Nelson, who's led the staff in innings the last two years, might be wary of his two minor league options if he struggles out of the gate.
Outlook: No team was more active on the bases last season than the Brewers, whose 181 steals were the most by any team since 2009. Villar, Broxton and Hernan Perez were the primary thieves, and all return. The front office curiously chose not to bring back Carter after a 41-home run season. His replacement is Thames, who hasn't had a major league at-bat since 2012. Hitter-friendly Miller Park will do no favors to their pedestrian pitching staff, but the Brewers aren't expected to contend for at least another couple seasons. At least their offense will be entertaining in the meantime. | | 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. |
| | Davies goes for 12th win as Brewers take on Pirates
PITTSBURGH -- Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Zach Davies takes a gaudy 11-4 record into his Wednesday start against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. His ERA is eye-popping, as well, but not in a good way. It stands at 5.08. However, the Brewers have averaged 7.8 runs in Davies' 19 starts, the most for any starter in the majors. "I like when Zach pitches, because we score a lot of runs," Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. "That's the first thing. That's the best part about it, that I feel like it's a good day for our offense." Davies might need a great day from his offense Wednesday. He is 1-3 with a 10.29 ERA in five career starts against the Pirates. His mound opponent, Gerrit Cole, would have had reason to envy Davies earlier this season when the right-hander's ERA was 3.06 yet he had a 1-4 record and three no-decisions to show for it. Since then, Cole has received more run support. His record is up to 7-7, but his ERA also has swelled, to 4.35. However, his career numbers against the Brewers (3-3, 3.16) are solid. Cole yielded two runs in each of his past two starts, both lasting six innings. Davies was shaky in his previous outing, giving up six runs (five earned) in 5 1/3 innings on Friday, but he notched yet another win as the Brewers slugged their way to a 9-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. He was less than thrilled. "I mean, I'm (expletive) off with my performance, definitely," he said. "But the team's winning, and you can't be selfish in that aspect and be upset and show it when the team is doing what it should be doing." Davies did have some bright spots in that game, as he has at times during the season. Against the Phillies, he recorded three consecutive outs in the first inning, minimizing damage after two runs had scored, and went on to retire 10 straight hitters. "He's had some patches where he's given up some runs, but he's kind of gotten through some innings well where he's really helped us," Counsell said. The Pirates (46-48) have taken the first two games of the series with two more left. Milwaukee (52-44), clinging to first place in the up-for-grabs National League Central, is 3-for-16 with runners in scoring position so far. "Every baseball game that has been played and will be played, you've got to get hits with runners in scoring position," Counsell said after the Pirates rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win 4-3 Tuesday, the Brewers' third straight loss. "The last couple nights, we've got guys on. Just haven't been able to get that next hit." With six wins in their past seven games, the Pirates have closed to within five games of the Brewers in the division. Nine games under .500 on July 3, the Bucs are now just two under. And now they have Starling Marte, one of their top players, back after an 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs. "The team has worked hard to fight and claw and scratch to where we are," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "What's in front of us is still out there and still available and still pretty good." |
