Manager: Don Mattingly (second season)
Who's new? C A.J. Ellis, RHP Edinson Volquez, RHP Dan Straily, RHP Brad Ziegler, RHP Junichi Tazawa, LHP Jeff Locke
Who's gone? C Jeff Mathis, INF Chris Johnson, RHP Andrew Cashner, LHP Mike Dunn, RHP Fernando Rodney
Projected lineup: SS Dee Gordon (.268, 1 HR, 14 RBI, 30 SB in 79 games), 3B Martin Prado (.305, 8, 75), CF Christian Yelich (.298, 21, 98), RF Giancarlo Stanton (.240, 27, 74 in 119 games), LF Marcell Ozuna (.266, 23, 76), 1B Justin Bour (.264, 15, 51), C J.T. Realmuto (.303, 11, 48, 12 SB), SS Adeiny Hechavarria (.236, 3, 38)
Rotation: LH Wei-Yin Chen (5-5, 4.96), RH Edinson Volquez (10-11, 5.37 with Royals), LH Adam Conley (8-6, 3.85), RH Dan Straily (14-8, 3.76 with Reds), RH Tom Koehler (9-13, 4.33)
Key relievers: RH A.J. Ramos (1-4, 2.81 40/43 SV), RH Brad Ziegler (2-3, 2.28, 18/20 SV with Diamondbacks), RH Junichi Tazawa (3-2, 4.17 with Red Sox), RH Kyle Barraclough (6-3, 2.85), RH David Phelps (7-6, 2.28), RH Dustin McGowan (1-3, 2.82)
Hot spots: Middle infield. Gordon and Hechavarria were a throwback double-play combo in 2016: strong defense up the middle, light with the bats. That would be OK in some lineups, but only three MLB teams scored fewer runs per game last season than Miami. Derek Dietrich was a more than capable fill-in during Gordon's PED suspension, posting a .374 on-base percentage. How long can Mattingly keep Dietrich on the bench if Gordon and Hechavarria struggle to hit?
Outlook: There are many recent examples of teams taking the 'stars and scrubs' approach to roster construction. It never ends well. The Marlins lost their brightest star when ace right-hander Jose Fernandez died far too young; replacing his production and presence was impossible. The remaining stars come with major question marks. Can Stanton stay healthy? If not, can Yelich and Bour be the pillars of the lineup? Who's the star of this pitching staff? No team managed by Mattingly has lost more than 82 games in a season. That will change in 2017. | | TEXAS: 2016: 95-67, first place
Manager: Jeff Banister (third season)
Who's new? 1B Mike Napoli, 1B James Loney, INF Will Middlebrooks, RHP Andrew Cashner, RHP Tyson Ross, RHP Mike Hauschild
Who's gone? 1B Mitch Moreland, INF/OF Ian Desmond, OF/DH Carlos Beltran, RHP Derek Holland, RHP Colby Lewis, RHP Shawn Tolleson, RHP Lucas Harrell
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 seek to extend interleague success vs. Marlins
ARLINGTON, Texas -- A weekend in St. Petersburg, Fla., was exactly what the Texas Rangers needed. A three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays not only turned around a season that appeared to be quickly unraveling, but it also reminded the Rangers of what they did so often last year on the way to a second consecutive American League West title. The Rangers hope to ride that momentum when they begin a nine-game homestand against the other franchise that calls the Sunshine State home. A three-game interleague set against the Miami Marlins starts Monday night at Globe Life Park. Comebacks and close wins were Texas' calling card in 2016, and that was the daily recipe against Tampa Bay. The Rangers trailed by multiple runs in each game only to win all three by a single run, including 6-5 Sunday. "Our guys know what the urgency is to win baseball games," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said after Texas' first sweep of at least three games at Tampa Bay since 1999. "And to win them in the fashion we did in this set of three comeback wins, an extra-inning win -- just a show of the heart and the grit these guys have. I think it's a huge plus for us going forward." Texas (48-50) had lost five straight before getting to Tampa Bay and appeared on the verge of falling out of the wild-card race, along with becoming sellers at the trade deadline. Instead, the Rangers are just 2 1/2 games out of the second AL wild card as they return home. The Marlins (44-52) had a five-game road winning streak snapped Sunday with a 6-3 loss at Cincinnati, but arrive in Texas having won their past six road series. Miami took two of three against the Reds. The return of shortstop Miguel Rojas last week was a welcome boost to the Marlins after he missed more than two months with a fractured thumb. He drove in a run Sunday and went 1-for-4, leaving him 4-for-15 in four games back. "It's good to be back with the boys," Rojas told MLB.com. "I think the energy that you feel in the big-league levels is different than when you play in the minors or when you play in a rehab game. "I was trying to get ready for this opportunity, for this situation, because I knew I was going to get my opportunities to play a little bit more, and I want to make sure that I'm ready to go. I'm pretty happy with these couple days." The Marlins are sending Adam Conley (2-3, 6.75 ERA) to the mound in the Monday in the series opener. The lefty is making his second start since being recalled from the minors last week. He threw six innings of two-run ball Tuesday in a no-decision against the Philadelphia Phillies. Conley has never faced the Rangers. Texas counters with Martin Perez (5-7, 4.72), who is making his 100th career start. The left-hander is 1-0 with a 2.95 ERA over three starts against the National League this season, though he has never opposed the Marlins. He had a three-game winning streak snapped in his last start, a 10-2 loss to Baltimore on Wednesday. He gave up five runs in six-plus innings. Texas is 7-11 in his 18 starts. The Rangers and Marlins last met in 2014, splitting home-and-home series. Texas is 3-5 all-time at home against Miami. The Rangers are 10-2 (.833) vs. NL clubs in 2017, baseball's third-best winning percentage in interleague games this season. The Marlins are 7-10 against the AL this year. |
