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 need to bounce back vs. Giants
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Colorado Rockies' hold on the National League's second wild-card spot will be on the line Wednesday afternoon when they conclude a two-game road series against the San Francisco Giants. Colorado's 4-3 loss to the Giants on Tuesday night, coupled with a 1-0 win by Milwaukee over the Pittsburgh Pirates, narrowed the Rockies' lead over the Brewers to one game. The St. Louis Cardinals also gained a game on the Rockies with a 9-8 win at Cincinnati. Only 3 1/2 games separate the Rockies (82-69), Brewers (81-70) and Cardinals (78-72) with 12 days left in the regular season. "You can't cry about losing games," Rockies right fielder Carlos Gonzalez said after the Tuesday defeat. "Keep moving forward. We'd be in playoff position if the season ended today. We're in the driver's seat." Right-hander Tyler Chatwood (8-12, 4.57 ERA) will seek to continue his winning ways against the Giants when he pitches Wednesday for the Rockies. He will be opposed by San Francisco left-hander Matt Moore (5-14, 5.39). Chatwood has faced the Giants four times this season, and the Rockies have won all four times. He went 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA in those outings, highlighted by a two-hit shutout in his most recent visit to AT&T Park on April 15. He is 7-3 with a 2.73 ERA in 16 career games, including 15 starts, against the Giants. Chatwood will have to deal with a team that, despite long ago having been eliminated from the playoff race, has stalled the postseason paths of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Rockies in its past two games. Pablo Sandoval, who hit a key home run Sunday in San Francisco's 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks, contributed three hits to Tuesday in the triumph over the Rockies. "I think it's extremely important to keep that passion, all of us," Giants right fielder Hunter Pence said of the final two weeks of a postseason-less season. Pence hit a two-run homer and a walk-off sacrifice fly on Tuesday. "It's not just about the standings," Pence said. "We love competing and getting out here and playing. (It's) what we love to do." The walk-off was the 12th of Pence's career and the eighth of the Giants' season. Moore hasn't had much success against the Rockies, going 1-3 with a 9.64 ERA against them in six career starts. Moore will seek to avoid becoming the NL's first 15-game loser. The Giants have lost 20 of his 29 starts. Even so, the Giants (59-93) picked up his $9 million option for 2018 last weekend. "Understanding there's now a vision with me being a part of turning the ship around and getting off to a better start next year, that gives me a lot of confidence heading into not only the last two weeks of the season but into the wintertime," Moore told the San Jose Mercury News on Saturday. Among the threats to Moore on Wednesday will be Rockies shortstop Trevor Story, who extended his hitting streak to 10 games on Tuesday. Story is one of five Rockies who have hit homers against Moore, joining Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado and Mark Reynolds in that distinction. Also, second baseman DJ LeMahieu is 8-for-14 (.571) against Moore in their career head-to-heads. LeMahieu will enter the last meeting of the season between the two teams with 29 hits this year against the Giants. |
