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. | | ST LOUIS: 2016: 86-76, second place
Manager: Mike Matheny (sixth season)
Who's new? OF Dexter Fowler, C Eric Fryer, LH Brett Cecil
Who's gone? 1B Brandon Moss, OF Matt Holliday, OF Jeremy Hazelbaker, RHP Jaime Garcia, RHP Seth Maness, RHP Jerome Williams
Projected lineup: CF Dexter Fowler (.276, 13 HR, 48 RBI, 13 SB with Cubs), SS Aledmys Diaz (.300, 17, 65), 1B Matt Carpenter (.271, 21, 68), RF Stephen Piscotty (.273, 22, 85), C Yadier Molina (.307, 8, 58), 3B Jedd Gyorko (.243, 30, 59), 2B Kolten Wong (.240, 5, 23), LF Randal Grichuk (.240, 24, 68)
Rotation: RH Carlos Martinez (16-9, 3.04 ERA), RH Adam Wainwright (13-9, 4.62), RH Mike Leake (9-12, 4.69), RH Michael Wacha (7-7, 5.09), RH Lance Lynn (did not pitch - Tommy John surgery)
Key relievers: RH Seung-hwan Oh (6-3, 1.92 ERA 19/23 SV), LH Kevin Siegrist (6-3, 2.77), RH Trevor Rosenthal (2-4, 4.46, 14/18 SV), LH Brett Cecil (1-7, 3.93 with Blue Jays), RH Jonathan Broxton (4-2, 4.30), RH Matt Bowman (2-5, 3.46), RH Miguel Socolovich (1-0, 2.00)
Hot spots: Rotation. The back end looked like a big leap of faith when spring training began. Wainwright and Wacha are coming off their worst seasons. Another 2013 World Series mainstay, Lynn, didn't pitch last season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Then, on the first day of camp, 22-year-old right-hander Alex Reyes learned he needed Tommy John himself. That leaves a lot of question marks after ace Martinez ' more than any Cardinals staff has faced in years.
Outlook: This 40-man roster hints at a team in transition. Venerable 34-year-old catcher Molina is still St. Louis' biggest star. Reyes' injury hurts the youth movement, but the Cardinals are still stacked with talented 20-something sluggers ' Piscotty, Diaz, Gyorko and Grichuk ' who could emerge as household names. Adding Fowler's speed and patience should complement an already deep lineup. The pitching staff is a different matter. Barring a big resurgence from Wainwright, Lynn and Wacha (or a big trade) it's hard to see the Cardinals contending for more than a wild card spot in the Cubs' shadow. |
| | Brewers, Cards begin May with .500 records
ST. LOUIS -- Considering how they started the season, getting to .500 before April turned into May was a good accomplishment for the St. Louis Cardinals. It just didn't seem that way on Sunday. The Cardinals ended the month by blowing a 4-0 lead to the Cincinnati Reds and losing 5-4, which gave them a 12-12 record for the month. "We've been playing well," St. Louis first baseman Matt Carpenter said. "Today's game just got away from us. That's really all there is to it." The Cardinals face off with another .500 team on Monday when they begin a four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium. The Brewers went a mediocre 13-13 last month, though the win total equaled their victory haul from the previous two Aprils combined. They dropped two of three at home to the Atlanta Braves over the weekend but won the finale 4-3 on Sunday. "We're sitting at .500," manager Craig Counsell told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Obviously, offensively we've been really good. I think we have to prevent runs better. That's probably the next step for us. But we know the season runs in valleys and cycles and different phases. We've had some good pitching performances in the first month. The guys in the bullpen have been really, really good. "I think you earn your record, and I'll always say that. We're at .500 right now and I think that's what we've earned." St. Louis' loss Sunday was only the third in the past 12 games for the Cardinals, who started April with a 3-9 record. In the series opener on Monday night, Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha (2-1, 2.55 ERA) will oppose Brewers right-hander Zach Davies (2-2, 6.57 ERA). Wacha has thrown quality starts in each of his four outings this season. In his last appearance, he limited the Toronto Blue Jays to two runs in six innings in a no-decision on Tuesday. In his career against the Brewers, Wacha is 4-0 with a 4.09 ERA in seven games (six starts). Davies also shined in his most recent start, throwing five shutout innings in a 9-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. He is 2-0 with a 2.67 ERA in four career starts vs. the Cardinals. Davies will be looking to slow St. Louis second baseman Kolten Wong, who enters May with a six-game hitting streak that has raised his average to .258. Wong has been a key to the Cardinals' recent success. He made several good defensive plays on Sunday and had a leadoff single in the ninth but was left stranded at third base as the game ended. Manager Mike Matheny likes what he is seeing out of Wong, who has been plagued by career-long inconsistency. "He's put together some good at-bats," Matheny said. "Hitting in the eighth spot can be a challenge. Kolten is doing a real good job right now. He hasn't hit the type of hitter he can be. ... He realizes the impact he can make defensively and on the bases. We can't say that about everybody." The Brewers could be without an impact player Monday, as Ryan Braun left the Sunday game due to a sore right arm. Travis Shaw hopes to return for the Brewers after sitting out Sunday because of a bruised left hand. He was hurt when hit by a pitch on Saturday. |
