Manager: Joe Girardi (10th season)
Who's new? 1B/DH Chris Carter, 1B/LF/DH Matt Holliday, RHP Aroldis Chapman
Who's gone? 1B Mark Teixeira, C Brian McCann, RHP Nate Eovaldi, RHP Kirby Yates, RHP Anthony Swarzak, RHP Nick Goody, RHP Blake Parker
Projected lineup: LF Brett Gardner (.261, 7 HR, 41 RBI, 16 SB), CF Jacoby Ellsbury (.263, 9, 56, 20), C Gary Sanchez (.299, 20, 42 in 53 games), DH Matt Holliday (.246, 20, 62 with Cardinals), 1B Greg Bird (did not play in 2016), 2B Starlin Castro (.270, 21, 70), 3B Chase Headley (.253, 14, 51), RH Aaron Judge (.179, 4, 10 in 27 games) or Aaron Hicks (.217, 8, 31), SS Tyler Wade (.259, 5, 27 at Double-A) or Ronald Torreyes (.258, 1, 12)
Rotation: RH Masahiro Tanaka (14-4, 3.07), LH C.C. Sabathia (9-12, 3.91), RH Michael Pineda (6-12, 4.82), RH Luis Severino (3-8, 5.83), RH Chad Green (2-4, 4.73) or RH Adam Warren (4-2, 3.26) or RH Luis Cessa (4-4, 4.35) or RH Bryan Mitchell (1-2, 3.24 in five games)
Key relievers: LH Aroldis Chapman (4-1, 1.55, 36/39 SV), RH Dellin Betances (3-6, 3.08), RH Tyler Clippard (3-6, 3.57), LH Tommy Layne (2-0, 3.38), LH Chasen Shreve (2-1, 5.18)
Hot spots: Fifth starter and right field. The starter's competition is not urgent ' the Yankees have five off-days in the first month of the season ' but it's interesting nonetheless. Green, Cessa, Warren and Mitchell combined to make 22 major league starts last season. None had an outstanding spring training, so the Yankees might choose to divide the load again. Some will go to Triple-A, others to the bullpen. Someone named Aaron (Judge or Hicks) will be the Yankees' right fielder this season. If either falters, Tyler Austin or Rob Refsnyder could seize their at-bats.
Outlook: The Yankees will employ fewer past-their-prime position players in 2017 than any season this decade. Is their next generation of homegrown talent ready to take over? Sanchez is the most advanced prospect ' the catcher hit 20 home runs in 53 games as a rookie ' but beyond him lies several question marks. Greg Bird, Clint Frazier, Gleyber Torres, Judge and Austin (who was stalled in camp by a foot injury) will get a chance once they're ready. The pitching staff is led by Tanaka and the ferocious bullpen combo of Chapman, Betances and Clippard. But depth is a real question mark, and there are no blue-chip prospects at Triple-A waiting for their moment. | | TORONTO: 2016: 89-73, second place
Manager: John Gibbons (10th season)
Who's new? 1B/DH Kendrys Morales, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, IF/OF Steve Pearce, IF Lourdes Gurriel, LHP J.P. Howell, RHP Joe Smith
Who's gone? 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion, OF Michael Saunders, C Josh Thole, C Dioner Navarro, OF Junior Lake, RHP R.A. Dickey, LHP Brett Cecil, RHP Joaquin Benoit
Projected lineup: 2B Devon Travis (.300, 11 HR, 50 RBI), 3B Josh Donaldson (.284, 37, 99), RF Jose Bautista (.234, 22, 69), DH Kendrys Morales (.263, 30, 93 with Royals), SS Troy Tulowitzki (.254, 24, 79), C Russell Martin (.231, 20, 74), 1B Justin Smoak (.217, 14, 34), CF Kevin Pillar (.266, 7, 53, 14 SB), LF Ezequiel Carrera (.248, 6, 23)
Rotation: RH Marco Estrada (9-9, 3.48 ERA), LH J.A. Happ (20-4, 3.18), RH Marcus Stroman (9-10, 4.37), RH Aaron Sanchez (15-2, 3.00), LH Francisco Liriano (8-13, 4.69 with Pirates and Blue Jays)
Key relievers: RH Roberto Osuna (4-3, 2.68, 36/42 SV), RH Jason Grilli (6-4, 3.64), RH Joe Biagini (4-3, 3.06), LH J.P. Howell (1-1, 4.09 with Dodgers), RH Joe Smith (1-4, 3.82 with Angels), LH Aaron Loup (0-0, 5.02)
Hot spots: bullpen. The Blue Jays signed only a couple high-profile free agents (retaining Bautista, adding Morales) and brought in many lower-profile veterans mostly to compete for bullpen jobs. Howell and Smith, signed to low-risk deals, are all but guaranteed jobs. But what of Dominic Leone, Mat Latos, Mike Bolsinger, Lucas Harrell and Leonel Campos? Toronto seems to be crowd-sourcing its middle innings with low-risk, right-handed options. Up to a half-dozen pitchers could be competing for one or two jobs.
Outlook: The Blue Jays' roster is enviably balanced, albeit among the older ones in the league. Toronto led the AL in ERA last year. Their entire starting rotation returns, and their veteran bullpen is set up well to support second-year closer Osuna. Ironically, the youngest player in the Jays' starting lineup, 26-year-old Travis, has the biggest health concern of the bunch. He didn't appear in a spring training game until recently because of offseason knee surgery. Encarnacion, who was good for .270/30/100 every year, will be missed. The question now is whether Morales (33), Bautista (36), Tulowitzki (32) and Martin (34) are still close enough to their primes to power another playoff run. |
| | Yankees still have regular-season goals while visiting Toronto
TORONTO -- The New York Yankees have virtually assured themselves a spot in the American League wild-card game, probably as hosts. They could avoid that one-game playoff, however, by winning the American League East, which is still possible, though not probable. When the Yankees (85-67) open a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night at Rogers Centre, that will be their goal. They will enter the series trailing the first-place Boston Red Sox by three games. Each has 10 games to play. "I'm happy about the way we're playing," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "That's been my focus the whole time here. Let's pay attention to what we do, and I like the way that we're playing. I think that's important, and we need to continue to play that way. And let's see what happens." The Yankees, who had Thursday off, have won three games in a row and eight of their past 10. They are 14-5 in September. They will send out right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (12-11, 4.73 ERA) in the opener Friday. Tanaka is 4-1 over his last five starts. "We've been playing really good baseball," Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner said. "We kind of have our backs against the wall a little bit, but we've been playing really good baseball, and we just need to continue to do that and keep the pressure on them, make them keep winning." The Blue Jays, who will finish below .500 this season after losing 1-0 Thursday to the Kansas City Royals, will start right-hander Marco Estrada (9-8, 4.84), who signed a one-year, $13 million contract extension on Wednesday. The Blue Jays have little to play for now that they cannot even reach .500 this year after going to the American League Championship Series in each of the past two seasons. "You try to win every night," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "I don't get caught up in (the record). We're more focused on seeing some of the younger guys play. But you play to win. You want to finish strong. At this point I don't know if it's going to make or break my offseason." Gibbons feels that his team has continued to play hard despite being out of contention for quite a while. "We've had some sloppy games, no doubt," Gibbons said. "But the effort's been good. The focus has been good. I've been on teams where it's just the opposite. They shut it down. I don't think we have that problem with this group." The Blue Jays do play well against the Yankees. They are 7-6 against New York this season, including a 4-3 mark at Rogers Centre. Since July 26, 2014, the Blue Jays are 37-23 against the Yankees. Estrada, who struggled earlier in the season, has not lost since Aug. 15 and in his six starts since then, beginning Aug. 20, he is 4-0 with a 3.89 ERA. Estrada will be making his fifth start of the season against the Yankees, going 2-1 with a 5.64 ERA in the first four. He is 5-3 with a 4.28 ERA in 14 career games (13 starts) against the Yankees. Starlin Castro (15-for-36) and Aaron Judge (5-for-12) are each batting .417 against Estrada. Tanaka has enjoyed success against the Blue Jays. He is 8-3 with a 2.62 ERA in 13 career starts against them, including a 2-0 record with a 3.63 ERA in three starts this season. At the Rogers Centre, he is 2-1 with a 2.32 ERA in five career starts. |
