Ramon Laureano seized the OAK CF job with both bat and glove late last season, but his skills need confirmation in a crowded OF. Plus, the HOU and TEX OFs, LAA's rotation outlook, and more.
Kyle Schwarber is returning to an old swing in CHC. Also: the closer situation in MIL, another catching prospect blocked in STL, the final rotation spot in PIT, and Senzel's permanent home in CIN.
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.
