Manager: Bud Black (first season)
Who's new? 1B Ian Desmond, IF Alexi Amarista, RHP Greg Holland, LHP Mike Dunn
Who's gone? Manager Walt Weiss, LHP Jorge De La Rosa, RHP Eddie Butler, LHP Boone Logan, C Nick Hundley, IF Daniel Descalso, OF Ryan Raburn
Projected lineup: CF Charlie Blackmon (.324, 29 HR, 82 RBI, 17 SB), 2B D.J. LeMahieu (.348, 11, 66, 11), 3B Nolan Arenado (.294, 41, 133), RF Carlos Gonzalez (.298, 25, 100), 1B Mark Reynolds (.282, 14, 53), LF David Dahl (.315, 7, 24) or Gerardo Parra (.253, 7, 39), SS Trevor Story (.272, 27, 72), C Tony Wolters (.259, 3, 30)
Rotation: RH Jon Gray (10-10, 4.61 ERA), RH Tyler Chatwood (12-9, 3.87), LH Tyler Anderson (5-6, 3.54), LH Kyle Freeland (6-3, 3.91 at Triple-A), RH German Marquez (1-1, 5.23)
Key relievers: Greg Holland (did not pitch in 2016), Adam Ottavino (1-3, 2.67, 7/12 SV), Mike Dunn (6-1, 3.40, 4/8 SV with Marlins), Jake McGee (2-3, 4.73, 15/19 SV), Jordan Lyles (4-5, 5.83), Chad Qualls (2-0, 5.23), Chris Rusin (3-5, 3.74), Carlos Estevez (3-7, 5.24, 11/18 SV)
Hot spots: Catcher and closer. Wolters was 23 years old and hadn't played a game above Double-A last year when the Rockies claimed him off waivers from Cleveland. Now he's the most experienced catcher on the Rockies' 40-man roster, having played 71 major league games. A pitch-framing specialist with rare agility behind the plate, Wolters must coax pitchers through Coors Field and its occasional malefactions. While Colorado's rotation is the best it's looked in years, the ninth inning could be an adventure. Seven pitchers recorded a save for the Rockies in 2016. Now, a man who hasn't thrown a competitive pitch since 2015 might be their best option. Holland, 31, saved 125 games for the Royals from 2013-15 before elbow surgery paused his career. Ottavino will close if Holland can't.
Outlook: The Rockies probably won't catch the Dodgers or Giants this season, but a .500 record or better would be a big boost for their rebuilding movement. Black skippered the Padres from 2007-15, then spent last year in the Angels' front office. His first task: keeping morale steady after a spate of injuries and illness struck the clubhouse. The Rockies' biggest offseason acquisition was veteran Desmond, but he'll miss the beginning of the season with a fractured hand. Pitcher Chad Bettis, who led the Rockies with 32 starts last year, is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for testicular cancer. Backup catcher Tom Murphy (hairline fracture in forearm) and outfielder Dahl (ribs) could also start the season on the DL. If they can get past these early hurdles, the Rockies will be competitive at worst and dangerous at best. | | 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. |
| | Rockies start stretch run on road vs. Giants
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Colorado Rockies continue what they hope will be a cakewalk to their first postseason appearance in eight years when they open a two-game road series Tuesday night against the last-place San Francisco Giants. The Rockies began a 12-game stretch of games against non-contenders by taking two of three at home from the National League West's fourth-place team, the San Diego Padres, in a series that ended Sunday. They now embark on a six-game trip in which they will face the Padres again for four games later this week after completing the two-game set in San Francisco. The Rockies then will open the final week of the regular season by hosting the Miami Marlins, a sub-.500 team from the NL East, for three games. With just 12 games remaining, Colorado (82-68) will take the field Tuesday night two games up on the Milwaukee Brewers (80-70) and 4 1/2 ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals (77-72) in the three-team race for the second NL wild-card spot. The Arizona Diamondbacks (87-64) lead the Rockies by 4 1/2 games for the first wild card. Colorado will send right-hander German Marquez to the mound in San Francisco on Tuesday night to face Giants right-hander Johnny Cueto. Marquez (10-7, 4.41 ERA) has had no luck in two career starts at AT&T Park, having been bombed to the tune of 11 runs and 18 hits in 8 1/3 innings in 12-3 and 9-2 losses. The 22-year-old responded with seven consecutive starts allowing three or fewer runs after a June 26 drubbing in San Francisco. However, he has fallen back upon hard times of late, having gone winless in three September starts while serving up 12 runs (10 earned) and 23 hits in 13 2/3 innings. Marquez has dropped to the end of the Colorado rotation, meaning likely will be the odd-man-out if the club should make it to the postseason. That fate already has befallen fellow rookies Kyle Freeland and Antonio Senzatela, who between them have 21 wins this season. Rockies manager Bud Black is going with Tyler Anderson, Jon Gray, Tyler Chatwood and Chad Bettis in front of Marquez with a playoff berth in the balance. "They're just a little more seasoned because of their service time," Black said of his current starters other than Marquez. "Just who they are, it's probably more comforting for us to run those guys out there." The Giants will run Cueto out there to face the Rockies in the series opener. He is not someone the visitors should be crazy about seeing. Cueto (7-8, 4.58 ERA) has dominated the Rockies like no other team, running up a 9-3 record and 2.66 ERA in 15 career starts. That includes five innings of five-hit, one-run ball in an 11-3 win at Colorado on Sept. 6. The Giants are coming off a generally unsuccessful attempt to stall the Diamondbacks' playoff push. San Francisco lost two in a row before salvaging the final game of the series Sunday behind a home run from switch-hitting Pablo Sandoval, his first as a right-handed hitter since 2014. "It's good to see him have a good day," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "That home run was big because they were back in the ballgame (at 4-2). It's good to see him get ahold of one from the right side." |
