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. | | 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. |
| | Nelson-led Brewers look to rebound vs. Giants
SAN FRANCISCO -- Jimmy Nelson will seek to regain the form that had him on pace for one of the greatest seasons in Milwaukee Brewers history when he faces the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. Nelson will duel Giants right-hander Jeff Samardzija, who has successfully rebounded from a poor first half to put together a nice run of his own. The Brewers hope Nelson (9-6, 3.74 ERA) can get the club headed back in a positive direction after Milwaukee was shut out by four Giants pitchers 2-0 in the opener of the three-game series Monday. The playoff contender wasted a quality start by ace Zach Davies in the process. "It certainly was a quiet night," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "It's one night we didn't swing the bats." Milwaukee slipped to 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Chicago Cubs in the National League Central and 3 1/2 games back of the Arizona Diamondbacks for the second NL wild card. Nelson was 9-5 with a 3.24 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 158 strikeouts in his first 22 starts of the season, but he crashed back to earth in an 11-10 loss to the Reds on Aug. 11. Cincinnati bombed him for 10 runs (nine earned) and 11 hits in 3 2/3 innings. The only Brewer ever to duplicate or better Nelson's 22-game numbers over a full season was Ben Sheets in 2004. Nelson had an improved outing his last time out, allowing five runs (three earned) and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Pittsburgh Pirates last Wednesday. Still, he will take the mound having not won any of his past three starts. One of Nelson's nine wins came at home in June against the Giants, when he gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings in a 6-3 win. The teams split the four-game series in Milwaukee. The win Monday was the Giants' 10th in their past 11 meetings with the Brewers in San Francisco, a run Samardzija (8-12, 4.79 ERA) hopes to continue. Like Nelson, he also had a win in the earlier series, dominating the Brewers over 7 2/3 innings, during which he allowed just two runs (one earned) and six hits. He struck out 10 without issuing a walk. The win was just the 32-year-old's second in his first 12 starts this season. Samardzija was just 4-11 through July 21, but he has since gone 4-1, including 3-0 at home. He is coming off a 5-4 home win over the Philadelphia Phillies in which he gave up four runs in six innings. Samardzija has beaten the Brewers just once in 11 career starts against them, going 1-5 with a 4.43 ERA. The Giants won the series opener despite giving Buster Posey the night off after he was involved in three tag plays at the plate (two as a catcher, one as a baserunner) before getting nailed in the left hip with a fastball from Phillies closer Hector Neris. Posey is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday, as is third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who left the Monday game in the eighth inning after being hit in the left wrist by a Carlos Torres pitch. "He's fine," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Sandoval afterward. "I had Orlando (Calixte) ready to go there (as a pinch runner), so we made the move. He's fine." |
