Projected lineup: DH Corey Dickerson (.245, 24, 70), CF Kevin Kiermaier (.246, 12, 37, 21 SB), 3B Evan Longoria (.273, 36, 98), 2B Brad Miller (.243, 30, 81), RF Steven Souza (.247, 17, 49), LF Colby Rasmus (.206, 15, 54 with Astros), SS Tim Beckham (.247, 5, 16), 1B Logan Morrison (.238, 14, 43), C Curt Casali (.186, 8, 25)
Rotation: RH Chris Archer (9-19, 4.02 ERA), RH Jake Odorizzi (10-6, 3.69), RH Alex Cobb (1-2, 8.59 in five starts), LH Blake Snell (6-8, 3.54), RH Matt Andriese (8-8, 4.37)
Key relievers: RH Alex Colome (2-4, 1.91, 37/40 SV), RH Tommy Hunter (2-2, 3.18 with Indians), RH Danny Farquhar (1-0, 3.06), LH Xavier Cede'o (3-4, 3.70), RH Erasmo Ramirez (7-11, 3.77), RH Jumbo Diaz (1-1, 3.14), RH Chase Whitley (0-0, 2.51)
Hot spots: Shortstop and catcher. Tim Beckham and the combination of Curt Casali and newly signed Derek Norris are holding down the fort while Matt Duffy and Wilson Ramos recover from injuries. Beckham and Casali or Norris can at least try to make the situation awkward by hitting. That wasn't their strong suit last year, but the Rays will need someone to bat eighth and ninth while Ramos (knee surgery; out until July) and Duffy (Achilles surgery; out until May) heal.
Outlook: How do you fix a team that ranked eighth in the AL in ERA and 14th in runs scored? If you're the Rays, you trade away your second-best hitter (Forsythe) for a pitcher who will start the season in Triple-A (De Leon), then sign an outfielder with a .641 OPS (Rasmus) to be your second-highest paid player. Expectations for a team with the third-lowest payroll in the game shouldn't be high to begin with. Getting Duffy and Ramos back from the DL will help, but not enough to slow rumors of Archer, Cobb and Odorizzi getting traded if they pitch well. | | TEXAS: 2016: 95-67, first place

Projected lineup: CF Carlos Gomez (.231, 13 HR, 53 RBI, 18 SB in 118 games with Astros and Rangers), DH Shin-Soo Choo (.242, 7, 17, 6 in 48 games), 3B Adrian Beltre (.300, 32, 104), 1B Mike Napoli (.239, 34, 101 with Indians), 2B Rougned Odor (.271, 33, 88, 14 SB), C Jonathan Lucroy (.292, 24, 81 with Brewers and Rangers), RF Nomar Mazara (.266, 20, 64), SS Elvis Andrus (.302, 8, 69, 24 SB), LF Jurickson Profar (.239, 5, 20) or Ryan Rua (.258, 8, 22, 9 SB)
Rotation: LH Cole Hamels (15-5, 3.32 ERA), RH Yu Darvish (7-5, 3.42 in 17 games), LH Martin Perez (10-11, 4.39), RH A.J. Griffin (7-4, 5.07), RH Andrew Cashner (5-11, 5.25 with Padres and Marlins)
Key relievers: RH Sam Dyson (3-2, 2.43, 38/43 SV), RH Matt Bush (7-2, 2.48), RH Jeremy Jeffress (27/28 SV with Brewers and Rangers), RH Tony Barnette (7-3, 2.09), LH Alex Claudio (4-1, 2.79), RH Keone Kela (5-1, 6.09)
Hot spots: Designated hitter and left field. Choo, Napoli and Joey Gallo are all candidates to DH. Gallo, a perennial prospect with prodigious power, can make it interesting by seizing his first-ever Opening Day roster spot. Otherwise Napoli (a first baseman) and Choo (an outfielder) can switch off as needed. Moving Desmond to the outfield was successful enough last year that the Rangers are taking a similar approach with Profar. The oft-injured 24-year-old will try to break camp as a left fielder, platooning with Rua.
Outlook: Coming off back-to-back division titles, the Rangers begin 2017 with a weakened farm system and the footsteps of the Astros and Mariners passing them by ' or at least catching up. There's still a lot to like here. Napoli was a huge bargain on a $6 million contract following his 34-homer season in Cleveland. He'll join Beltre and Odor to form a dangerous middle of the order. Darvish is entering his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, and he and catcher Lucroy are entering their long-awaited walk years. This isn't the deepest roster in the AL but it's capable of winning another division title if its stars can avoid the disabled list. |
| | Rangers' Martinez goes up against Rays' Andriese
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Nick Martinez is not thinking about his long-term spot in the Texas Rangers' rotation. The right-hander is too busy focusing on his Tuesday start against the Tampa Bay Rays. Martinez (1-3, 4.69 ERA) will make his eighth start for Texas since getting called up from Triple-A Round Rock when A.J. Griffin got hurt in April. Martinez has managed to stay in the rotation because of injuries, and it is unlikely he is going anywhere soon with Griffin on the disabled list along with Cole Hamels and Tyson Ross. Martinez, who is 0-0 with a 5.25 ERA in his three career outings against Tampa Bay, is focused on controlling what he can control. "I just prepare myself for whatever start I'm going to make, whether it's up here or in Triple-A," Martinez said. "I just get ready. If they need me up here, I get ready. I don't look at it as uncertainty because I don't look that far ahead. I don't really look at where I'm going to be. I tried that last year, and it didn't work out." Martinez could help his cause if he closes out May with a strong outing. He has struggled in his first five starts this month, going 1-3 with a 5.60 ERA. His April ERA was 2.77. While Martinez hasn't had much success lately, the Rangers have totaled just four runs in his three losses. Still, he knows he has to pitch better. In his most recent start, he lasted just five innings Thursday and threw 95 pitches while giving up four runs at Boston. "I had to make some in-game adjustments," Martinez said. "It's just part of pitching, part of the season. We had to make those adjustments, and my pitch count probably ran a little high. You want to go as deep as possible so you don't have to strain the bullpen. Those are the arms that are going to matter in October." The Rays haven't had to worry much about their bullpen when right-hander Matt Andriese (5-1, 3.24 ERA) has been on the mound. Andriese has won his last three starts and is 4-0 in May. In his most recent start, he pitched eight scoreless innings in a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. Andriese hasn't had that kind of success against Texas, though. He is 0-2 with a 6.28 ERA in three starts against the Rangers. That could mean more work for prized prospect Jose De Leon, who was called up from Triple-A Durham on Monday. De Leon, who was acquired in the offseason from the Los Angeles Dodgers, will work out of the bullpen for now, and he is fine with that. The Rays didn't waste any time getting him involved, as he picked up the win with 2 2/3 of relief work Monday in Tampa Bay's 10-8 victory at Texas. While the biggest reason the Rays called up De Leon was to give the bullpen a fresh arm after a 15-inning game Sunday, he is hoping to have a chance to show he should stay with the team. "I'm here today and nobody knows what can happen tomorrow," said De Leon, sounding a lot like Martinez. "That's life in general. You never know what's going to happen tomorrow." He impressed his manager on Monday. "He picked us up in a big way," Tampa Bay's Kevin Cash said. "We're extremely appreciative of that." |
