Manager: Bryan Price (third season)
Who's new? RHP Scott Feldman, RHP Drew Storen, RHP Lisalverto Bonilla, OF Ryan Raburn, OF Desmond Jennings, IF/OF Arismendy Alcantara
Who's gone? 2B Brandon Phillips, C Ramon Cabrera, RHP Dan Straily, RHP Ross Ohlendorf, RHP Alfredo Simon, LHP John Lamb, RHP Josh Smith
Projected lineup: CF Billy Hamilton (.260, 3 HR, 17 RBI, 58 SB), SS Zack Cozart (.252, 16, 50), 1B Joey Votto (.326, 29, 97), LF Adam Duvall (.241, 33, 103), RF Scott Schebler (.265, 9, 40), 3B Eugenio Suarez (.248, 21, 70), C Devin Mesoraco (.140, 0, 1 in 16 games), 2B Jose Peraza (.324, 3, 25, 21 SB)
Rotation: RH Anthony DeSclafani (9-5, 3.28 ERA), RH Scott Feldman (7-4, 3.97 with Astros and Blue Jays), LH Brandon Finnegan (10-11, 3.98), RH Tim Adleman (4-4, 4.00), RH Robert Stephenson (2-3, 6.08) or Cody Reed (0-7, 7.36) or Amir Garrett (2-5, 3.46 for Triple-A Louisville)
Key relievers: RH Raisel Iglesias (3-2, 2.53, 6/8 SV), RH Drew Storen (3-0, 3.44 with Mariners), RH Michael Lorenzen (2-1, 2.88), LH Tony Cingrani (2-5, 4.14, 17/23 SV), RH Jumbo Diaz (1-1, 3.14), RH Blake Wood (6-5, 3.99)
Hot spot: Rotation. The Reds' rebuilding effort is just beginning to bear fruit on the mound. DeSclafani, 26, made a big leap in his second full season in 2016. Finnegan, 23, will try to do the same this year. If the next wave of pitchers isn't ready for the major leagues, Stephenson, Reed, Garrett, Sal Romano and Rookie Davis would make a mean rotation at Triple-A. Meanwhile, 40-year-old Bronson Arroyo will try to hold down a job like it's 2004.
Outlook: After trading Phillips to the Braves, only Votto and pitcher Homer Bailey remain from the Reds' last season as a contending team. Cincinnati was basically a .500 team (36-37) after the All-Star break last season, so maybe a return to respectability isn't far off. Hamilton and infielder Jose Peraza, electric on the bases and in the field, have breakout potential. There might not be another star on the roster besides Votto, but that's OK for now. With no veterans blocking their best prospects, the Reds can use this season to figure out what their system holds. | | SAN FRANCISCO: 2016: 87-75, second place
Manager: Bruce Bochy (11th season)
Who's new? RHP Mark Melancon, C Nick Hundley, IF Jae-Gyun Hwang
Who's gone? OF Angel Pagan, OF Gregor Blanco, RHP Jake Peavy, RHP Santiago Casilla, RHP Sergio Romo, LHP Javier Lopez
Projected lineup: CF Denard Span (.266, 11 HR, 53 RBI, 12 SB), 1B Brandon Belt (.275, 17 , 82), C Buster Posey (.288, 14, 80), RF Hunter Pence (.289, 13, 57), SS Brandon Crawford (.275, 12, 84), 3B Eduardo Nunez (.288, 16, 67, 40 SBs with Giants and Twins), 2B Joe Panik (.239, 10, 62), LF Jarrett Parker (.236, 5, 14) or Mac Williamson (.223, 6, 15)
Rotation: LH Madison Bumgarner (15-9, 2.74 ERA), RH Johnny Cueto (18-5, 2.79), RH Jeff Samardzija (12-11, 3.81), LH Matt Moore (13-12, 4.08 with Giants and Rays), RH Matt Cain (4-8, 5.64)
Key relievers: RH Mark Melancon (2-2, 1.64, 47/51 SV with Nationals), RH Hunter Strickland (3-3, 3.10), RH Derek Law (4-2, 2.13), LH Steven Okert (0-0, 3.21) or Josh Osich (1-3, 4.71), RH Cory Gearrin (3-2, 4.28), RH George Kontos (3-2, 2.53)
Hot spot: Bullpen and left field. No team blew more saves last year than the Giants. The front office hopes it found the answer by signing three-time All-Star closer Melancon to a (then-record) four-year, $62 million deal, and by cutting ties with Romo and Casilla. They will need to replace Will Smith, a key lefty who tore his UCL in spring training. Veteran outfielder Pagan left after five seasons in San Francisco. Rather than fill his shoes via free agency or trade, the unproven tandem of Williamson and Parker is expected to share time in left.
Outlook: The Giants have an established core of position players, and an enviable 1-2 rotation punch in Bumgarner and Cueto. That's probably why the front office did little in the offseason besides overhaul the back end of the bullpen. Hwang, who hit 26 home runs and drove in 104 last year in Korea, is an intriguing addition to the bench. Mostly the Giants are counting on continuity. Former NL MVP Posey is coming off a below-average season by his standards, and sparkplug Pence missed nearly two months last year with a hamstring injury. Expecting both to bounce back isn't a stretch, and new closer Melancon is as good as they come. At full strength, this Giants team should be able to give the Dodgers a good run. |
| | Giants seek revenge on Reds
SAN FRANCISCO -- After a historically bad run, the San Francisco Giants will be riding the momentum of a rare win when they seek revenge on the Cincinnati Reds in a four-game series that begins Thursday night. The series is a rematch of a three-game demolition by the Reds in Cincinnati last week. The Reds won the games 13-3, 14-2 and 4-0 -- beating San Francisco by a cumulative 26 runs, the Giants' largest margin of defeat in a three-game series since getting trounced by a total of 37-10 by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1922. The Giants went on to lose their first two games in New York earlier this week, but they rebounded with four runs in the ninth inning Wednesday to overtake the Mets in a 6-5 win. The victory when trailing entering the ninth inning was the first for the Giants in exactly two years, after they lost a franchise-record 133 straight under those circumstances. "I know it's been a long time since we've come back down in the eighth (to then rally in the ninth). That's huge," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Just to get a win for these guys, it's been a tough go. "You'd like to hopefully get on a roll here, but it starts with one win, and it can start with a very tough win like today." The Giants had no such dramatics last week in Cincinnati. Then again, they were down by 10, 12 and four runs entering the ninth inning in those games. Left-hander Ty Blach (0-2, 5.66 ERA) will open the rematch series with the Reds. He was roughed up for 10 runs (eight earned) and 11 hits in three innings in the Saturday blowout. It was his first appearance against the Reds. Former Giant Adam Duvall and Patrick Kivlehan blasted homers off Blach in his brief outing. The Reds will counter Thursday with right-hander Bronson Arroyo (3-2, 6.53 ERA), the winning pitcher in Friday against the Giants. He permitted three runs (two earned) in 5 1/3 innings, leaving him 7-5 with a 2.92 ERA in 17 career games (16 starts) vs. San Francisco. The 40-year-old added to a piece of history in the win when he allowed a home run to Giants rookie Christian Arroyo. It was the 181st time in major league history that a batter hit a homer against a pitcher with the same last name. The Arroyos are not related, even though they did both attend Hernando High in Brooksville, Fla. Bronson Arroyo graduated from high school one month after Christian Arroyo was born. While the focus was on the offense in the 31-run barrage against the Giants, Reds manager Bryan Price found time after the series to praise his defense. "I don't think we have a weak spot defensively," he said. "You couldn't expect Duvall to move from being a corner infielder to left field and become a Gold Glove candidate. And (third baseman Eugenio) Suarez and (second baseman Jose) Peraza have gotten better. "Then you have (shortstop Zack) Cozart, who's kind of like the captain of the infield. It helps to have a veteran like him to solidify things. And, of course, we have an extraordinary center fielder, (Billy Hamilton). I haven't seen them all, but I can't believe there's anybody playing center field better than Billy." |
