Baltimore may not generate many save opportunities in 2019, but is Mychal Givens less than a good bet to get the bulk of them? Also: Closer dark horses in BOS, German's chances to crack rotation in NYY, the lowdown on the Lowes in TAM and Pompey's last stand in TOR.
Some new faces join the ARI rotation, while a spring training injury could create opportunity in the SD 'pen. Plus COL catchers, LA first basemen, and CF options in San Francisco.
Minus three 2018 starters, HOU still projects depth experienced and otherwise behind Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole. The TEX rotation, however, is a different story. Plus, LAA's revamped pen, Blake Treinen's OAK encore, and the SEA SS battle...
Some young, promising pitchers got pushed out of the rotation in CIN, but they shouldn't be forgotten. Also: playing time at the hot corner in PIT, back-of-rotation starters in STL, the impact of Moustakas's return in MIL, and David Bote's playing time in CHC.
The Dodgers say Kershaw will be ready, but some skepticism remains. Plus, Soroka could resume throwing soon, Reds ink Iglesias, Lowrie has soreness, M. Gonzalez lands in MIN, plus more.
There's a friendly competition brewing between Clint Frazier and his mentor, Brett Gardner, for the starting left field job in NYY. Also: back-of-the-rotation battles in BAL and TOR, Dustin Pedroia's return in BOS, and Avisail Garcia's role in TAM.
Is presumptive closer Will Smith's grasp on the saves less secure than previously thought? Plus, a look at the LA rotation, the COL first base picture, 2B in ARI, and catchers in SD.
