PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired right-hander Lucas Harrell from the Houston Astros for a player to be named. Jonathan Drouin Lightning Jersey . Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Monday that Harrell will join Triple-A
Reno for now. The 28-year-old Harrell went 0-3 with a 9.49 ERA in three starts
with Houston this season. He was 6-17 with a 5.86 ERA last season. Arizona could
use some pitching help. The Diamondbacks lost ace Patrick Corbin to Tommy John
surgery before the season started and are off to the worst start in franchise
history, though the starters have been solid the past four games. Nikita Kucherov Lightning Jersey .C. -- Panthers offensive tackle Jordan Gross is saying goodbye to the NFL after 11
seasons. Ondrej Palat Lightning Jersey . "I had a pretty good year," the soft-spoken Granberg told TSN.ca with a grin from the
teams annual rookie tournament in London. A fourth-round selection in 2010,
Granberg is worth keeping an eye on with NHL training camps rolling around in
less than a week. The six-foot-two, 200-pound defender may not possess the
wow-inspiring theatrics of fellow prospect Morgan Rielly, but nonetheless has a
chance to contribute with the Leafs when all is said and done this
season.GLENEAGLES -- Plucking two scarcely believable shots from the cactus for
par saves in the Match Play Championship final in February thrust Victor
Dubuisson into golfs global consciousness. Gary Player said he hadnt seen
anything like it in 60 years in the sport. Nick Faldo compared him to Seve
Ballesteros. Dubuisson, despite losing the final to Jason Day, briefly was the
talk of golf. For the reserved, private and softly spoken Frenchman, hed rather
that hadnt been the case. Dubuisson, who keeps his past very much in the past,
is the European teams mystery man heading into his first Ryder Cup this week.
Even his teammates know little about him. "Does anybody really know Victor?"
Thomas Bjorn asked Tuesday. Graeme McDowell, a potential partner for Dubuisson
when play starts Friday, described him as an "enigma" and a "tough guy of get
your head around of what hes thinking." The 24-year-old Dubuisson acknowledges
he is quiet and humble but, after just a day at Gleneagles, is already embracing
the team dynamic that makes the Ryder Cup so special. "Everybody has two
different (sides) ... I think when you are at your work and when you are outside
with your friends, its very different," Dubuisson said. "Honestly you can ask
the other players. Im a very funny and cool guy." The little that Dubuisson has
spilled about his back story is interesting. He is the nephew of Herve
Dubuisson, one of French basketballs greatest players, and he has indicated in
interviews that he left school before he was a teenager to concentrate on golf
and that he "didnt really have family." He played tennis and football as a
youngster but settled into golf, he said Tuesday, because "youre on your own"
and he didnt want to play in a team sport. Dubuisson smiled when it was put to
him that he was the "Greta Garbo of golf" because of the mystery surrounding
him. Ben Bishop Jersey. . What is not in question is Dubuissons talent. The worlds No. 1 amateur in 2009, he held off a high-class
field including Tiger Woods and Justin Rose in the final round of the Turkish
Open last year to win his first major professional tournament. And that
extraordinary performance in the match-play format in the Arizona desert in
February effectively sealed his place at the Ryder Cup, where he is the European
teams youngest player. His ball was at the bottom of a cactus on one playoff
hole and it was at the base of bush on another. He gave it a good whack on both
shots, with the ball shooting over TV cables and through rough to land close
enough to the pin to make par. "When some people compared my shots with what he
(Seve) used to do, with a few shots he did in the past, it was a very big thing
for me," Dubuisson said. "It was very emotional." Dubuisson, whose first memory
of a Ryder Cup is when he attended the K Club in 2006, practiced with
Henrik Stenson and McDowell on Tuesday. It is the latter who is being talked
about as a partner for the Frenchman. "His relaxed mood, personality, could be
confused with maybe intimidation and nervousness," McDowell said. "Ive been
trying to get close to him the last few months and spend a little time with him.
Hes a great guy." Dubuisson is the third Frenchman, after Jean Van de Velde
(1999) and Thomas Levet (2004), to play for Europe in the Ryder Cup. And it just
might raise extra interest in his home country, which is hosting the Ryder Cup
in 2018. "I actually have a funny feeling," Bjorn said, "that this guy might
just stand up and be a great hero by the end of this week." Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
