Manager: A.J. Hinch (third season)
Who's new? RF Josh Reddick, CF Carlos Beltran, LF Nori Aoki, C Brian McCann, RHP Charlie Morton
Who's gone? C Jason Castro, INF Luis Valbuena, OF Colby Rasmus, RHP Doug Fister
Projected lineup: CF George Springer (.261, 29 HR, 82 RBI), 2B Jose Altuve (.338, 24, 96, 30 SB), SS Carlos Correa (.274, 20, 96, 13 SB), DH Carlos Beltran (.295, 29, 93 with Yankees and Rangers), C Brian McCann (.242, 20, 58 with Yankees) or Evan Gattis (.251, 32, 72), 3B Alex Bregman (.264, 8, 34 in 49 games), RF Josh Reddick (.281, 10, 37 with A's and Dodgers), 1B Yulieski Gurriel (.262, 3, 15), LF Nori Aoki (.283, 4, 28 with Mariners)
Rotation: LH Dallas Keuchel (9-12, 4.55 ERA), RH Collin McHugh (13-10, 4.34), RH Mike Fiers (11-8, 4.48), RH Lance McCullers (6-5, 3.22), RH Charlie Morton (1-1, 4.15 in four games with Phillies)
Key relievers: RH Ken Giles (2-5, 4.11, 15/20 SV), RH Luke Gregerson (4-3, 3.28, 15/21 SV), RH Will Harris (1-2, 2.25, 12/15 SV), RH Chris Devenski (4-4, 2.16), LH Tony Sipp (1-2, 4.95), RH Michael Feliz (8-1, 4.43)
Hot spots: Fifth starter and catcher. Hamstring issues limited 33-year-old Morton to four starts with the Phillies last season. That didn't stop the Astros from signing him to a two-year contract worth at least $14 million. Now, veteran Fiers and 24-year-old Joe Musgrove are on the bubble for the fifth starter's job. McCann and Gattis give the Astros a pair of veteran catchers with slugging potential. McCann has fewer weaknesses behind the plate; Gattis is the better all-around hitter. With Beltran aboard as the primary designated hitter, McCann and Gattis won't both be in the lineup on most nights.
Outlook: After slipping to third place in the AL West last year, the Astros' front office decided to double down on dingers rather than upgrade a rotation that lacks a true ace. The result: A lineup with eight potential 20-home run hitters, including possible MVP candidates in Altuve and Correa. Everyone returns from an impressive young bullpen with high strikeout potential. If the Astros are in contention by the trade deadline, the front office should have the financial flexibility to add a front-line starter. Then again, if Dallas Keuchel looks like the pitcher who won a Cy Young Award in 2015, Houston might not have a problem. | | SEATTLE: 2016: 86-76, second place
Manager: Scott Servais (second season)
Who's new? LF Jarrod Dyson, SS Jean Segura, IF Danny Valencia, RF Mitch Haniger, C Carlos Ruiz, C Tuffy Gosewich, RHP Yovani Gallardo, LHP Drew Smyly, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Casey Fien, RHP Chris Heston
Who's gone? OF Seth Smith, SS Ketel Marte, C Chris Iannetta, OF Nori Aoki, RHP Taijuan Walker, RHP Nathan Karns, LHP Vidal Nuno, LHP David Rollins, RHP Tom Wilhelmsen
Projected lineup: LF Jarrod Dyson (.278, 1 HR, 25 RBI, 30 SB with Royals), SS Jean Segura (.319, 20, 64, 33 with Diamondbacks), 2B Robinson Cano (.298, 39, 103), DH Nelson Cruz (.287, 43, 105), 3B Kyle Seager (.278, 30, 99), C Mike Zunino (.207, 12, 31), 1B Danny Valencia (.287, 17, 51 with A's), RF Mitch Haniger (.229, 5, 17 in 34 games with Diamondbacks), CF Leonys Martin (.247, 15, 47, 24 SB)
Rotation: RH Felix Hernandez (11-8, 3.82), RH Hisashi Iwakuma (16-12, 4.12), LH James Paxton (6-7, 3.79), RH Yovani Gallardo (6-8, 5.42 with Orioles), LH Drew Smyly (7-12, 4.88 with Rays)
Key relievers: RH Steve Cishek (4-6, 2.81, 25/32 SV), RH Edwin Diaz (0-4, 2.79, 18/21), RH Nick Vincent (4-4, 3.73), RH Evan Scribner (0-0, 0.00 in 12 games), LH Marc Rzepczynski (1-0, 2.64 with A's and Nationals), RH Casey Fien (1-1, 5.49 with Twins and Dodgers)
Hot spots: First base and right field. Veteran Valencia has the first baseman's job for now, but Dan Vogelbach is the heir apparent who will begin the season at Triple-A. Vogelbach, 24, slimmed down this offseason ' a necessity when you're 6 feet tall, weigh 250 pounds and expect to play your first full major league season ' and might have more weight to lose. Valencia, 32, has never been a full-time first baseman in seven seasons. Haniger is known more for his glove than his bat, but he struggled (.713 OPS) in limited time at a hitter-friendly park in Arizona last year. Safeco Field won't be as kind. Cruz will play right field if Haniger doesn't.
Outlook: General Manager Jerry Dipoto has paired a staff of fly-ball pitchers with three rangy outfielders, an exercise in team-building he once tried with the Angels. Dipoto caused a stir by executing 40 roster transactions during the offseason, but is it possible he didn't do enough? Haniger has never been atop a major league depth chart. Pitchers Gallardo and Smyly are coming off shaky seasons in Baltimore and Tampa Bay, respectively. On paper, the Mariners look like a top-heavy team without much help in the minors if the bottom falls out. That was the case for Dipoto with the Angels too, and sometimes it worked out OK. More often it didn't. |
| | Hernandez returns as Mariners host Astros
SEATTLE -- When Felix Hernandez pitches at Safeco Field, there's a different atmosphere. The seats in the left-field corner are filled with fans sitting in "King's Court," wearing "King Felix" T-shirts and holding "K" cards to wave with every two-strike count. But court has been out of session for much of the season as Hernandez has been on the disabled list since April 26 with bursitis in his right shoulder. The longtime Seattle ace is scheduled to make his return Friday night, when the Mariners open a three-game weekend series against the American League West-leading Houston Astros. "I don't care who I face, I'm just happy to be back -- finally," said Hernandez, who is 2-2 with a 4.73 ERA this season. Hernandez, the Mariners' career leader in wins (156), innings (2,442 1/3), strikeouts (2,286) and starts (364), has won both his appearances at home this season. "The stadium will be buzzing," Mariners catcher Mike Zunino said. "It's great to get our ace back out there." Added Seattle third baseman Kyle Seager: "Any time you get your guy back, especially someone the caliber of Felix, your confidence is going to get a big boost." The injury-riddled Mariners (38-37), who passed the .500 mark for the first time Thursday and are 12 1/2 games behind the Astros in the division race, could use a boost. Four members of the projected rotation have spent significant time on the disabled list, with Hisashi Iwakuma and Drew Smyly still sidelined. That makes Hernandez's return even more important. "Felix pitches with a lot of emotion. He will be up (Friday). He's anxious to get back and help the team," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "Somehow we've stayed afloat through all the injuries, but there's a lot of work to be done." Hernandez had hoped to return earlier in the week, but he struggled with his command in a rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma. Instead he got one more game with the Rainiers, pitching six scoreless innings and striking out eight Saturday against Salt Lake. "The first was fine," Hernandez said of the rehab starts, "but the second was way better. I could put the ball wherever I wanted." Hernandez is 3-6 with a 4.25 ERA in 11 career starts against the Astros. He took the loss on Opening Day this season at Minute Maid Park, allowing two runs on five hits in five innings, with six strikeouts. Hernandez is scheduled to face Astros right-hander Joe Musgrove (4-6, 5.09 ERA). Musgrove has made two career starts against the Mariners, both this season. He took a no-decision April 6 at Houston, allowing two runs on five hits in five innings of a 4-2 loss. Musgrove got the win April 11 at Seattle, giving up three runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings of a 7-5 victory. Musgrove has lost both his decisions since a stint on the 10-day disabled list due to right shoulder inflammation. He struck out a season-high seven in a 6-5 loss Sunday against Boston, allowing five runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings. Musgrove threw 90 pitches. Astros manager A.J. Hinch said he doesn't consider Musgrove to be 100 percent quite yet. "One step closer to that, obviously," Hinch told the Houston Chronicle. "Fully back, to me, is extending him north of 100 pitches." |
