Aaron Tus Kws Txiav Txim, Yankees zaum Atop AL East Qhib Hnub Muaj Tseeb-Tsev Kawm Qib Siab

Txog rau lub Peb Hlis tas los, kuv yuav tau mus saib Hnub Qhib Qhov Tseeb-Tshaj Tawm ntawm 30 MLB cov koom haum ntawm kev faib tawm los ntawm kev faib tawm. Thaum cov qeb duas yog raws li qhov tseeb 2022 batted-pob cov ntaub ntawv, off-season player txav thiab muaj peev xwm cuam tshuam ntawm 2023 rookies yuav raug hais. Hnub no, peb pib nws nrog AL East.

1 – New York Yankees – “Tru” Talent Record = 103-59 – Offensive Rating = 116.2 (2nd), Pitching Rating = 84.9 (3rd), Defensive Rating = 103.6 (24th) IN: LHP Carlos Rodon, RHP Tommy Kahnle; OUT: RHP Jameson Taillon, NTAWM Andrew Benintendi, LHP Aroldis Chapman, RHP Chad Green, DH Matt Carpenter

Feem ntau, cov koom haum ua tau zoo, cov nyiaj them poob haujlwm siab yuav muaj kev cob qhia lub caij nplooj ntoos hlav boring. Tsis yog pawg no. Lawv cov ntaub ntawv 103-59 "Tru" Talent tau sau ua ke ntau ntawm lub zog ntawm qhov tsis txaus ntseeg thawj ib nrab, thaum lawv kev tiv thaiv kev khiav tau txhaj rau txhua lub tog raj kheej. Qhov no tsis yog ib pab neeg zoo nyob rau hauv ib nrab thib ob tom qab qhov kawg ntawm lawv cov bullpen yuav tsum tau kho dua tom qab Aroldis Chapman thiab Michael King tawm ntawm qhov sib npaug. Aaron Tus Kws Txiav Txim yog lawv lub hauv paus ntawm kev ua tau zoo tas mus li thoob plaws lub caij, txawm tias Gerrit Cole tsis yog nws tus kheej phem heev.

Lub hom phiaj ntawm pab neeg no tam sim no yog kho rau cov menyuam yaus. Oswald Peraza tab tom thawb Isiah Kiner-Falefa rau kev pib ua haujlwm luv luv, Oswaldo Cabrera tab tom nias Aaron Hicks nyob rau sab laug, thiab Anthony Volpe tsuas yog tshuab txhua tus neeg tawm thaum nws sim yuam nws tus kheej mus rau qhov chaw sib xyaw. NTAWM Jasson Dominguez kuj tau qhuas, tab sis nws muaj tag nrho ntawm 22 Double-A ntawm puav hauv qab nws txoj siv. Thaum cov kiv cua yeej xav kom lub club mus dhau qhov nyiam Kiner-Falefa, Hicks thiab 3B Josh Donaldson, tej zaum nws yuav tsis yooj yim.

Rodon qhov kev txhim kho dua Taillon, tab sis Frankie Montas yuav plam feem ntau lossis tag nrho ntawm lub caij, thiab Jordan Montgomery tam sim no yog Cardinal. Kev tiv thaiv kev khiav tag nrho tsis zoo li yuav zoo npaum li lub sijhawm no.

Cov Yankees yuav sim rub tawm qhov nyuaj txhua hnub ob zaug ntawm kev siv cov tub ntxhais hluas txav thaum sib tw rau cov khoom siv hauv kev sib faib nyuaj. Lawv conceivably yuav rub nws tawm, tab sis nws yuav zoo li yog caij qus.

2 – Toronto Blue Jays – “Tru” Talent Record = 92-70 – Offensive Rating = 115.1 (4th), Pitching Rating = 100.9 (17th), Defensive Rating = 99.0 (14th) – IN: RHP Chris Bassitt, LF Daulton Varsho, DH Brandon Belt, CF Kevin Kiermaier, RHP Erik Swanson, RHP Chad Green; OUT: RF Teoscar Hernandez, RHP Ross Stripling, C Gabriel Moreno, LF Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

Qhov ntawd yog qhov phem heev ntawm kev ua haujlwm siab kawg rau lub club playoff. Cov Jays tau tshwm sim zoo ntawm lawv txoj hauv kev los ua qhov kev tawm tsam zoo tshaj plaws ntawm lub sijhawm no tsis yog tag nrho ntev dhau los, tab sis kuv tsis nyiam qhov kev txav uas lawv tau ua rau pem hauv ntej. Varsho yog ib tus neeg ncaws pob uas muaj ntau yam uas coj tau ntau rau lub rooj, tab sis nws cov ntaub ntawv pob ntaus pob tsis qhia txog kev cuam tshuam nruab nrab ntawm qhov kev txiav txim. Xav Cavan Biggio redux. Belt yeej ib txwm raug mob. Kiermaier hais. Ua rau nruab nrab xyoo 2022 ntxiv ntawm Whit Merrifield rau hauv tus account, Blue Jays tau ntxiv ntau qhov kev tawm mus rau hauv qab ib nrab ntawm qhov kev txiav txim batting. Lub club tau cuam tshuam nrog nws cov glut ntawm catchers los ntawm tsiv Moreno, uas muaj lub siab tshaj plaws upside ntawm pab pawg. Kev sib pauv tawm Hernandez, Gurriel thiab Moreno qhov tseem ceeb rau Varsho, Kiermaier thiab Belt yuav ua pov thawj tias qhov tsis zoo.

Kuv nyiam lawv txoj kev txav mus rau sab pitching. Txawm hais tias kuv nyiam Stripling, Bassitt yog ib qho ntawm cov pib qis tshaj plaws hauv qhov kev ua si, thiab yuav tsum ua pov thawj los ua qhov kev txhim kho hauv ob qho tib si zoo thiab ntau. Lub bullpen yuav tsum sib sib zog nqus nrog qhov ntxiv ntawm Swanson thiab tseem-rehabbing Green.

Rookies tsis zoo li yuav pab txhawb ntau thaum pib rau Jays, tab sis raws li lub caij nthuav tawm LHP Ricky Tiedemann thiab 3B Orelvis Martinez tuaj yeem tau txais kev hu. Tiedemann tshwj xeeb tuaj yeem ua suab nrov, vim nws yog ib tus puav-misser zoo ib yam thiab hauv qab ntawm Jays 'kev sib hloov (Jose Berrios, Yusei Kikuchi) yog qhov tsis zoo.

3 – Tampa Bay Rays – “Tru” Talent Record = 87-75 – Offensive Rating = 93.3 (21st), Pitching Rating = 90.3 (6th), Defensive Rating = 96.4 (6th) – IN: RHP Zach Eflin; OUT: 1B Ji-Man Choi, LHP Brooks Raley, LHP Ryan Yarbrough; CF Kevin Kiermaier, RHP JP Feyereisen, RHP Corey Kluber, LF David Peralta

Hom Rays' offseason. Lawv yoj lus zoo rau ib pawg ntawm cov neeg sawv cev dawb uas tau ua haujlwm zoo rau lawv, tab sis leej twg tsis tuaj yeem ua raws li lub club cov nyiaj them poob qis. Lawv hais nyob zoo rau cov stats siab heev darling hauv Eflin tias lawv muaj nuj nqis ntau dua li kev lag luam. Rau cov ntaub ntawv, Kuv ntseeg tias qhov kev nqis peev no yuav raug lees paub. Tag nrho hauv tag nrho, qhov kawg tshwm sim yuav tsum yog Rays-esque ib yam nkaus, vim tias lub club yuav tsum nyob hauv kev sib xyaw rau qhov chaw playoff txhua lub caij.

Lawv yuav tsum tau txais qee tus nqi qis, uas muaj peev xwm tau txais txiaj ntsig zoo ntxiv los ntawm lawv txoj kev ua liaj ua teb thaum lub caij nthuav tawm. 1B Kyle Manzardo yog tus puav loj uas nws cov khoom yuav tsum txhais rau qib no, thiab 3B Curtis Mead yog lwm tus txiv neej puav leej uas tseem xav tau qee qhov txhuam ntawm lub ces kaum kub. Ntawm lub toj roob hauv pes, RHP Taj Bradley tuaj yeem yog qhov hloov pauv tau los ntawm nruab nrab-lub caij nyoog tom qab tswj hwm ob theem sab sauv me me hauv 2022.

4 – Boston Red Sox – “Tru” Talent Record = 78-84 – Offensive Rating = 103.8 (10th), Pitching Rating = 109.3 (24th), Defensive Rating = 98.9 (12th) – IN: RHP Kenley Jansen, RHP Chris Martin, LF Masataka Yoshida, RHP Corey Kluber, 3B Justin Turner, CF Adam Duvall, SS Adalberto Mondesi; OUT: SS Xander Bogaerts, LHP Matt Strahm, 1B Eric Hosmer, RHP Nathan Eovaldi, LHP Rich Hill, DH JD Martinez, LF Tommy Pham, RHP Michael Wacha, RHP Matt Barnes

Tham txog kev hloov pauv. Pom tseeb, qhov poob loj yog Bogaerts, thiab thaum kuv tsis xav tias nws tsim nyog nws daim ntawv cog lus Padres, nws tseem ua rau Bosox mob. Strahm, Eovaldi, Martinez thiab Wacha kuj tseem muaj zog pab txhawb rau 2022 club, thiab tau ploj mus. Lawv tau raug hloov los ntawm qhov sib xws tab sis poob Turner thiab ib pawg ntawm kev hloov pauv siab. Jansen tuaj yeem yog ib qho khoom ze dua lossis tag nrho implode. Kluber zoo thaum noj qab haus huv, tab sis tsis tau noj qab haus huv ntau zaus. Duvall yog lub koob tsheej los yog kev tshaib kev nqhis streak zog hitter. Thiab Mondesi yog nyob rau hauv ib chav kawm tag nrho nws tus kheej, nruab nrab ntawm nws raug mob, tawm tsam, triples thiab raug nyiag. Qhov tseeb lom zem, Mondesi tsuas muaj tshaj 291 lub phaj tshwm sim hauv ib lub caij ib zaug.

Qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws ntxiv los ntawm ob qho tib si nyiaj txiag thiab hauv kev pom yog Yoshida. Ib tug yeej tsis muaj peev xwm ntseeg tau tiag tiag txog tus hitter los ntawm Far East thawj zaug. Yog lawm muaj Ohtanis thiab Matsuis, tab sis kuj muaj Tsutsugos. Kuv tsis ntseeg tias Sox 'tus tshiab sab laug sab laug yuav tsoo, vim nws yog tus txiv neej ntaus-ua ntej-hwj chim nrog lub viav vias zoo nkauj thiab suab phaj kev qhuab qhia. Tab sis cov Sox zoo dua yog txoj cai, vim lawv tau hloov pauv Bogaert cov nyiaj ntau nrog Yoshida's. Xav ntau Kosuke Fukudome lossis Seiya Suzuki.

Rookie Triston Casas yuav tsum yog lub club txhua hnub thawj tus thawj coj thiab tej zaum tus thawj coj ntaus. Nws yuav tsis yog tus prototypical leadoff txiv neej, raws li nws yog tag nrho ntawm kev ceev, tab sis nws txoj kev xav rau thaj tsam tawm tsam thiab ntaus feem ntau yuav pab tau nws zoo. Ceddanne Rafaela muaj lub hnab looj tes zoo uas ua si thoob plaws hauv lub tshav pob, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau hauv lub tshav pob, thiab muaj lub caij nyoog ntaus. Khaws ib lub qhov muag ntawm ntau tus puav Enmanuel Valdez, tau los ntawm Astros lub caij dhau los. Nws tsis zoo nrog hnab looj tes nyob qhov twg, tab sis tus puav nqa. Lefty Brayan Bello muaj cov khoom siv raw kom ua tiav raws li MLB pib. Nws tau qeeb los ntawm forearm nruj rau lub caij nplooj ntoo hlav no, tab sis yuav tsum yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm lub sijhawm.

5 – Baltimore Orioles – ”Tru” Record = 75-87 – Offensive Rating = 98.6 (17th), Pitching Rating = 105.0 (21st), Defensive Rating = 101.8 (22nd) – IN: RHP Kyle Gibson, 2B Adam Frazier, XNUMXB Adam Frazier, McCann, LHP Cole Irvin; Tawm: RHP Jordan Lyles

Tsis ntau turnover ntawm no. Cia peb tau txais qhov no ncaj qha los ntawm qhov pib - O's tsis zoo li lawv cov ntaub ntawv lub caij dhau los. Kuv batted pob-raws li txoj kev hais tias lawv yog yim ua si phem. Qhov ntawd tau hais tias, pab pawg no tau pom meej meej ntawm txoj hauv kev, nrog cov tub ntxhais hluas zoo li C Adley Rutschman thiab 3B Gunnar Henderson tau npaj rau kev ua yeeb yam hauv lawv thawj lub caij sib tw loj. Lawv qhov kev yuav khoom tseem ceeb ntawm lub caij ntuj sov, Gibson thiab Irvin, tsawg kawg yog muab rau lawv muaj kev ruaj ntseg thiab innings txawm tias lawv sib phim tsis zoo nrog lwm tus AL East #1-2 pib.

Nws yog txhua yam hais txog cov menyuam yaus ntawm no. Tshaj li Rutschman thiab Henderson, Colton Cowser tuaj yeem yog tus menyuam yaus tom ntej los cuam tshuam cov kab pib, feem ntau yuav nyob ntawm lub ces kaum sab nraud. Nws npaj kom muaj kev sib xyaw ua ke ntawm lub zog thiab muaj peev xwm tiv thaiv. Lwm cov puav kom saib xyuas suav nrog 3B Jordan Westburg, 2B Connor Norby thiab UT Joey Ortiz. Westburg tau qhia ntau yam cuab yeej tshaj li kev txawj ntse rau qhov no, tab sis muaj caj npab thiab lub zog muaj peev xwm los ua tus pib zoo. Norby thiab Ortiz yog bat-thawj hom uas yuav tsum tsawg kawg hloov mus rau hauv MLB contributors.

Grayson Rodriguez yog ib qho ntawm qhov zoo tshaj plaws pib pitcher zeem muag hauv qhov kev ua si, thiab zoo li yuav pib lub caij hauv Oriole kev sib hloov. Nws yuav zoo li me ntsis thaum xub thawj, tab sis yog tias txhua yam mus zoo, nws yuav yog lub club's 2024 Qhib Hnub pib. Lefty DL Hall muaj cov khoom loj tab sis qee qhov teeb meem kev tswj hwm, thiab lub koom haum tau waffled ntawm nws lub luag hauj lwm lig, shuffling nws ntawm kev sib hloov thiab cwj mem. Ntawm no yog cia siab tias lub club qhia kev ua siab ntev thiab tu nws rau lub luag haujlwm pib. Khaws ib lub qhov muag ntawm Drew Rom - nws tsis muaj cov khoom siv siab-octane ntawm Rodriguez thiab Hall, tab sis muaj kev xav tias yuav tsum tau txais nws lub luag haujlwm MLB.

Cia siab tias me me rov qab los ntawm O's hauv 2023 ua ntej lawv nce mus ntxiv hauv 2024.
