| |  | MINNESOTA: 2016: 59-103, fifth place.
Manager: Paul Molitor (third season).
He's Here: C Jason Castro, RHP Matt Belisle, SS Ehire Adrianza, LHP Craig Breslow.
He's Outta Here: 3B Trevor Plouffe, C Kurt Suzuki, LHP Tommy Milone, RHP Pat Light.
Projected lineup: 2B Brian Dozier (.268, 42, 99, 18/20 SBs), RF Max Kepler (.235, 17, 63), CF Byron Buxton (.225, 10 HRs, 38 RBIs, 118 Ks in 298 ABs), 1B Joe Mauer (.261, 11, 49), 3B Miguel Sano (.236, 25, 66, 178 Ks in 437 ABs), DH Kennys Vargas (.230, 10, 20 in 152 ABs), LF Eddie Rosario (.269, 10, 32), C Jason Castro (.210, 11, 32 with Houston), SS Jorge Polanco (.282, 4, 27 in 245 ABs).
Rotation: RH Ervin Santana (7-11, 3.38 ERA, 149 Ks), RH Phil Hughes (1-7, 5.95, 11 HRs, 11 starts), LH Hector Santiago (3-6, 5.58, 13 HRs, 11 starts after trade with Angels), RH Kyle Gibson (6-11, 5.07, 1.561 WHIP), LH Adalberto Mejia (rookie).
Key relievers: RH Brandon Kintzler (0-2, 3.15, 17/20 saves), RH Matt Belisle (0-0, 1.76 in 40 games for Nationals), RH Ryan Pressly (6-7, 3.70, 1 save in 72 games), LH Taylor Rogers (3-1, 3.96, 64 Ks in 57 games), LH Craig Breslow (0-2, 4.50 in 15 games for Marlins).
Hot Spot: Starting Rotation. The resuscitation of a team with the worst record in the majors last season must begin with starting pitching that ranked 30th out of 30 in wins (37), ERA (5.39) and strikeouts (655). Hughes, Santiago, Gibson and Berrios will all be counted on to make 2016 the aberration and not the standard. Adding Castro, who has a strong reputation for game calling and pitch framing, probably can't hurt. There's enough depth in the group at least to give the Twins a chance to return to respectability as new baseball chief Derek Falvey continues to try to revamp organizational philosophy and process for the long term. The bullpen appears more vulnerable than the rotation, despite being bolstered by the addition of the veteran Belisle. Three-time All-Star closer Glen Perkins is still working his way back from surgery last year to repair a torn labrum and will likely land on the disabled list to start the season. Kintzler fared well in his place, but doesn't have a track record.
Outlook: The Twins ranked a respectable sixth in the American League in total bases and eighth in OPS despite their abysmal record last year. Buxton's sparkling September, following a second straight frustrating summer, restored his and the club's confidence in the 2012 second overall draft pick. Dozier probably hit his power ceiling in 2016, but if Buxton and Sano can strike out less and get on base more there's the potential in place for a productive offense. Vargas hit his way back into contention for the DH spot with a decent finish to 2016, but the pressure is on him to prove he's worth a spot in the lineup with a strong performance this spring by Park, who struggled badly to adjust to major league pitching in his arrival from South Korea last year. | | CHI WHITE SOX: 2016: 78-84, fourth place.
Manager: Rick Renteria (first season).
He's Here: RHP Lucas Giolito, INF Yoan Moncada, LHP Derek Holland, RHP Reynaldo Lopez, C Geovany Soto, OF Peter Bourjos.
He's Outta Here: Manager Robin Ventura, LHP Chris Sale, OF Adam Eaton, OF Austin Jackson, DH Justin Morneau, C Alex Avila, RHP Matt Albers.
Projected lineup: CF Leury Garcia (.229, 1, 5 in 18 games, 48 ABs; .313, 6, 35, 18 SBs in 84 games at Triple-A Charlotte) or Jacob May (.266, 1, 24, 19 SBs in 83 games at Triple-A Charlotte), SS Tim Anderson (.283, 9, 30), LF Melky Cabrera (.296, 14, 86), 1B Jose Abreu (.293, 25, 100), 3B Todd Frazier (.225, 40, 98), RF Avisail Garcia (.245, 12, 51), DH Matt Davidson (missed much of last season with broken right foot), C Omar Narvaez (.267, 1, 10), 2B Tyler Saladino (.282, 8, 38).
Rotation: LH Jose Quintana (13-12, 3.20 ERA), RH Miguel Gonzalez (5-8, 3.73), LH Derek Holland (7-9, 4.95 ERA in 22 games with Texas), RH James Shields (6-19, 5.85 in 33 starts with Padres and White Sox), LH Carlos Rodon (9-10, 4.04).
Key relievers: RH David Robertson (5-3, 3.47, 37/44 saves), RH Nate Jones (5-3, 2.29, 3 saves), LH Dan Jennings (4-3, 2.08), RH Zach Putnam (1-0, 2.30), RH Michael Ynoa (1-0, 3.00).
Hot Spot: Triple-A Charlotte. With Giolito, Lopez and Moncada likely to begin the season in Triple-A, many White Sox fans might keep a closer watch on the Knights than the big league club. The development of the franchise's suddenly rich minor league system will help determine the trajectory of Chicago's new rebuilding project.
Outlook: Lots of losses and trades. Quintana and Frazier likely will be shipped out at some point this season, and Robertson also could be on the move in the right deal. The White Sox seem fully committed to a major overhaul, and they added several prospects when they traded away Sale and Eaton over the winter. But it could be a rough couple of years while general manager Rick Hahn tries to establish a more reliable pipeline of talent throughout the organization. In the meantime, the White Sox still have Anderson, who was impressive in his first major league stint last year. Abreu is going for his fourth straight season of at least 25 homers and 100 RBIs. |
| | Rosario leads Twins into rubber match with White Sox
CHICAGO -- Eddie Rosario had one of the Minnesota Twins' hottest bats earlier this month, but he went cold this week. The Minnesota left fielder is batting .329 with six doubles, seven home runs, 19 RBIs and 17 runs in 22 games this month entering play Thursday in the finale of a five-game series against the Chicago White Sox. Rosario, though, is 2-for-15 in the first four games of the series, which the teams split. He is batting .297 with 18 home runs and 53 RBIs for the season. "It's fun to watch Eddie play the game," Twins manager Paul Molitor said this week. "I think he's playing as confidently for as long a stretch as we've seen. A bad at-bat doesn't seem to particularly affect him. ... He's on a power roll, he's on a hit roll." Rosario, who bats left-handed and throws right-hander, went 0-for-4 on Wednesday but still has hits in 12 of his past 14 games. He belted a two-run homer Tuesday -- his 18th of the season and first in a month -- to provide a pair of insurance runs in the Twins' 4-1 victory over the White Sox. In 60 games from June 13 through Tuesday, he hit .343 -- third best in the American League over that span, trailing only Houston's Jose Altuve (.403) and George Springer (.343). Now in his third big league season, all with the Twins, the 25-year-old Puerto Rico native is on track for his best season. He batted .267 through 122 games in 2015 and hit .269 through 92 contests last year. Thursday's game pits Twins right-hander Jose Berrios (11-5, 3.99 ERA) against White Sox lefty Derek Holland (6-13, 6.28). Berrios broke out of a slump in his last start Saturday against Arizona, allowing two hits while striking out seven over seven scoreless innings for a victory. It was his 10th quality start in 18 appearances. He went 7-1 with a 2.67 ERA to start the season and then slipped to 3-4 with a 6.20 ERA in nine starts before regaining his form against the Diamondbacks. In his two previous starts before Saturday, Berrios gave up five first-inning runs. He didn't allow one versus Arizona. "If there was a first-inning hurdle, he leaped over it," Twins manager Paul Molitor said of Berrios. "And he just seemed to get stronger." Berrios is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in two career starts against the White Sox. He earned a win in his last start against Chicago on June 21, allowing two runs in eight innings. Holland makes his fifth appearance (fourth start) against Minnesota this season. He was charged with three runs and two hits in one-third of an inning in relief Monday in the series opener, a 7-6 White Sox victory in the first game of a doubleheader. His last start was a rough one. He allowed seven runs, six hits and four walks with one strikeout over only 2 2/3 innings Saturday at Texas. "I'm just upset with myself," Holland said. "The greatest thing about this whole year is being healthy. ... Tomorrow is a new day. I have to be ready to bounce back." Holland makes his 13th career appearance (12th start) against the Twins. He is 2-6 with a 5.68 ERA in those games, including 0-3 with a 9.64 ERA this season against Minnesota. The teams have three games remaining in their season series after Thursday, Aug. 29-31 at Target Field. |
