SURPRISE, Ariz.
Landry
Jones Steelers Jersey . -- Kansas City Royals right-hander Luke Hochevar
will have Tommy John surgery that will sideline the pitcher for the season.
Hochevar felt a twinge in his elbow on the next-to-last pitch of a scoreless
two-inning outing Monday against the Chicago White Sox. An MRI on Tuesday
revealed a major tear of the ulnar collateral ligament. The severity of the
injury was confirmed Thursday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. "What I
didnt want to hear," Hochevar said Friday. Hochevar missed nearly three months
in 2010 with a sprained right elbow, making just 17 starts that season. "I knew
this day was coming," Hochevar said. "After the first time I hurt it, I knew it
was coming. Im extremely thankful it held up for four years." The 30-year-old
Hochevar went 5-2 with a 1.92 ERA and two saves in 58 relief appearances last
season. He held opponents to a .169 batting average, which ranked third among AL
relievers with at least 60 innings. Hochevar switched to the bullpen last year
after going 38-59 with a 5.44 ERA in 128 career starts. Hochevar was the first
player picked in the 2006 draft. He will make $5.21 million this year and is
eligible for free agency after this season. "We wouldnt rule Luke out for the
future," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. "Well hopefully be able to
keep him in the organization going forward." Free agency, however, was not on
Hochevars mind with surgery pending to replace the ligament in his elbow. "That
is irrelevant right now," Hochevar said. "That will all fall into play if Im
healthy and I can pitch." Manager Ned Yost said Hochevar decided to have surgery
in the next weeks instead of instead of rest and rehab for two months. "This
thing is going to blow," Yost said of Hochevars ligament. "It is going to go,
sooner or later." The Royals won 86 games last year, their most victories since
the 1989 club went 92-70. Kansas City hasnt been in the playoffs since winning
the 1985 World Series. "The toughest part about it is were primed this year to
win," Hochevar said. "You want to be part of that dog pile in September. The way
the teams shaping up, were going to win. Thats not a doubt from every
standpoint." "I want to be a part of it. It is just not going to happen," he
said. Right-handers Kelvin Herrera and Aaron Crow and left-hander Tim Collins
will likely be the primary setup men for closer Greg Holland in Hochevars
absence.

http://www.footballsteelerstore.us/Black-Friday-Ladarius-Green-Jersey/ . -- The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with safety Brock Vereen and QB
David Fales on four-year contracts.A year after almost losing her life in a
gruesome racing accident, former Formula One test driver Maria de Villota was
found dead in a hotel room in Seville on Friday -- with an autopsy showing that
lingering injuries from her wreck likely caused her death. De Villota was 33. De
Villotas sister, Isabel, said an autopsy indicated that she had died in her
sleep around 6 a.m. local time due to "neurological damage" from her crash in
July 2012. De Villota lost an eye in the accident but had since seemingly
recovered from the wreck -- even driving again, writing a book about it, and
recently getting married. Spanish police said her death was from "natural
causes" and that there was no indication of foul play. They said De Villotas
manager alerted staff at the Hotel Sevilla Congresos after her body was found.
De Villota barely survived last years crash during testing for the Marussia F1
team in England, losing her right eye and sustaining other serious head injuries
that kept her hospitalized for a month. De Villota, a Madrid native, was the
daughter of Emilio de Villota, who competed in F1 from 1976-82. Her family used
de Villotas Facebook page to say "Dear friends: Maria has left us. She had to go
to heaven like all angels. I give thanks to God for the year and a half that he
left her with us." F1 officials and drivers at the Japanese Grand Prix were
stunned by her death. "My deepest condolences go to the de Villota family," said
FIA president Jean Todt. "Maria was a fantastic driver, a leading light for
women in motorsport and a tireless campaigner for road safety. Above all she was
a friend I deeply admired." McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh said as the
chairman of the Formula One Teams Association the "whole paddock is very shocked
by the news that Maria is no longer with us. "She was an inspiration not just to
women in this sport, but also to all those who suffered life-threatening
injuries." Saubers Monisha Kaltenhorn, the first female team principal in F1,
said, "If anybody represented strength and optimism, it was Maria. Her sudden
death is a big loss to the motorsport world." Williams development driver Susie
Wolff recalled how de Villota asked her to carry on for her and all women
drivers following her accident. "She very much said to me after it, Its up to
you to go out there and show them that it (a woman driver in F1) is possible,"
Wolff said. "She knew that women could compete at that level and thats why,
after her accident and her not being able to do that anymore, she just wanted
someone to know it was possible. She had such a spirit for life.

Golson Steelers Jersey. What she came through was a testament to her
strength of character and her positive outlook on life." Marussia expressed its
condolences. "It is with great sadness that we learned a short time ago of the
news that Maria de Villota has passed away," Marussia said in a statement. "Our
thoughts and prayers are with Marias family and friends at this very difficult
time." Fellow Spaniard Fernando Alonso said: "Its very sad news for the world of
motorsport as Maria was loved by everyone. Now, all we can do is pray for her
and for her family." De Villota also had driven in the world touring car
championship in 2006 and 2007 plus the Superleague open-wheel series. She was in
Seville to participate in the conference "What Really Matters," whose mission is
to inspire and teach young people "universal human values," in the words of the
organizers. Organizers cancelled the conference on receiving news of her death
and issued a statement "transmitting their care and support to the family and
loved ones of Maria de Villota." De Villota was the first Spanish woman to drive
an F1 car. Sport minister Jose Wert announced that she would be posthumously
awarded Spains Gold Medal of Sporting Merit. Other leading figures of Spanish
sports also expressed their condolences. Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta
extended his sympathies to her family while top-ranked tennis player Rafael
Nadal said it was "very bad news for the world of sport in general, for the
Spanish sport especially." De Villota accident last year occurred while she was
driving an F1 car for only the fourth time -- and first for Marussia -- and hit
a support truck during a straight-line exercise near an airfield in England. An
internal team investigation concluded the car was not at fault. She first drove
an F1 car in 2011, a Renault at the Paul Ricard circuit in Marseille, France.
Her death comes when de Villota seemed to be moving past her accident. She told
Hola magazine in February she felt "free" and "back to being me" after returning
to driving on normal roads. She returned to a F1 paddock for the first time in
May at the Spanish GP. There she told the AP that she felt a mix of "adrenaline
and also a little bit of sadness" on again being near the sport that almost cost
her her life. In July, she married boyfriend Rodrigo Garcia. She was active in
charity work and a member of the FIAs womens commission. On Monday, she was to
present a book "Life is a Gift," detailing her ordeal following her driving
accident.
