| | | 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. | | DETROIT: 2016: 86-75, second place.
Manager: Brad Ausmus (fourth season).
He's Here: C Alex Avila, OF Mikie Mahtook.
He's Outta Here: OF Cameron Maybin, SS Erick Aybar, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, 3B Casey McGehee.
Projected lineup: 2B Ian Kinsler (.288, 28 HRs, 83 RBIs), 3B Nicholas Castellanos (.285, 18, 58 in 110 games), 1B Miguel Cabrera (.316, 38, 108), DH Victor Martinez (.289, 27, 86), RF J.D. Martinez (.307, 22, 68 in 120 games), LF Justin Upton (.246, 31, 87), C James McCann (.221, 12, 48) or Alex Avila (.213, 7, 11 with White Sox), CF Mikie Mahtook (.195, 3, 11 with Tampa Bay) or Tyler Collins (.235, 4, 15), SS Jose Iglesias (.255, 4, 32).
Rotation: RH Justin Verlander (16-9, 3.04 ERA, 254 Ks), RH Michael Fulmer (11-7, 3.06), RH Jordan Zimmermann (9-7, 4.87), LH Daniel Norris (4-2, 3.38), LH Matt Boyd (6-5, 4.53).
Key relievers: RH Francisco Rodriguez (3-4, 3.24, 44/49 saves), RH Bruce Rondon (5-2, 2.97), LH Justin Wilson (4-5, 4.14, 1 save), RH Alex Wilson (4-0, 2.96), RH Anibal Sanchez (7-13, 5.87 in 35 games, 26 starts).
Hot Spot: Back of Starting Rotation. Zimmermann and Norris could be major contributors if healthy, but the No. 5 spot in the rotation is much more uncertain. Sanchez has a big contract and some impressive career accomplishments, but he's 33 and coming off two straight disappointing seasons. Boyd was merely serviceable a season ago.
Outlook: The Tigers have made no secret of the fact that they'll need to cut costs soon, but they've generally put off doing so. Verlander, Cabrera and Kinsler are back, and Detroit is ready to make another bid for a postseason spot. The Tigers fell just short of a wild card last season, and the team's top players aren't getting any younger, so this could be the last shot for Detroit to win big before a significant overhaul. Verlander and Cabrera are still producing like stars, and Fulmer won Rookie of the Year honors last year. If the Tigers are going to take another step forward, they'll probably need Zimmermann and Norris to perform well after both dealt with injury problems a season ago. Speaking of injuries: J.D. Martinez sprained his right foot March 18 and is expected to miss the start of the season. The Tigers finished eight games behind Cleveland in 2016. Closing that gap won't be easy, and a lot might depend on whether Detroit can stay healthy. |
| | Tigers' Fulmer looks to cool off White Sox
DETROIT -- Michael Fulmer has shown no signs of a sophomore slump. Fulmer earned the American League Rookie of the Year award last season, posting an 11-7 record and 3.06 ERA. The Detroit Tigers right-hander has picked up where he left off, making four quality starts in April. He'll try to extend that streak when he faces the Chicago White Sox and left-hander Derek Holland on Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park. Fulmer will try to halt the Tigers' three-game slide and the White Sox's five-game winning streak in the process. Chicago won the opener of the three-game series 7-3 on Friday. In his last outing, Fulmer (2-1) tossed a season-high seven innings and held Minnesota to two runs on four hits while striking out seven. "I don't know if he's doing a ton different. He's just continuing to perform well," Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. "It's not like he came up with another pitch or that he's attacking hitters grossly different than he did a year ago. He's continuing to do what he did last year." Last year, the hitters might have been blindsided by Fulmer's swift development. Fulmer really took off by commanding his changeup to complement his blazing fastball. Whatever adjustments batters have made against Fulmer, he seems to be staying ahead of the curve. "When the hitters know you, there's more pressure on the pitcher," Ausmus said. "You can catch a few by surprise for a year or part of a year, although nowadays they see a lot more video than they did even 20 years ago. He's going to probably have to adjust the more he pitches, but clearly so far, so good." Fulmer has only walked six batters while striking out 23 despite having trouble with his secondary pitches in his first two starts. He faced the White Sox twice last season and did not get a decision while recording a 3.86 ERA. Knee and shoulder injuries marred Holland's last three seasons with the Texas Rangers but he's off to a strong start with Chicago. He signed a one-year, $6 million contract in December after the Rangers exercised a $1.5M buyout of the final year of his contract with them. Holland (2-2) has posted a 1.99 ERA in his first four starts and collected his second win in his last outing, holding Cleveland to one run on three hits over six innings. "He's a veteran presence, combined with (James) Shields and Q (Jose Quintana), guys that have been around and have performed in the past," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. "Our hope was that he'd be able to come in and execute and do what he's been doing for us. He's kind of stabilized us a little bit. He's done a nice job to this point." Holland reached double digits in wins from 2011-13 but started just 35 games the past three years because of the injuries. Last year, he was 7-9 with a 4.95 ERA. He's 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA in four starts against Detroit. "I don't know if I would say he's exceeded expectations," Renteria said. "He's definitely lived up to what the organization foresaw in terms of how we've seen him in the past." Chicago is hopeful that first baseman Jose Abreu will return to the lineup. He sat out on Friday after suffering a mild right hip flexor strain against Kansas City on Wednesday. |
