Cheap China Jerseys . -- The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Cuban shortstop Erisbel
Arruebarrena to a $25 million, five-year contract Saturday. "We think he adds to
our major league club at some point this year," Dodgers general manager Ned
Colletti said. The Dodgers had been negotiating with Arruebarrena for several
days. The 23-year-old infielder defected from Cuba last fall, establishing
residency in Haiti. He has been working out in the Dominican Republic, according
to the Colletti. Colletti said Arruebarrena still has to acquire a work visa.
"Well get him as soon as we can get him here," Colletti said. "We need to see
him on an everyday basis." Arruebarrena was a teammate of Yasiel Puigs in the
Cuban League from 2010-11. He is touted for his defence but Colletti said his
offence still needs work. Still, Arruebarrena was starting shortstop for Cuba in
the 2013 World Baseball Classic and batted .375 with four runs and two RBIs in
six games. "Offensively, hes a work in progress," Colletti said. "Hes got power.
Thats the part of his game that probably needs to get better. But his defence is
good enough that it was worth signing him. We signed him for the defensive part,
knowing that he can play the middle of the diamond at a very high level. And,
theres some offensive ability there that well try to fine tune." Arruebarrena
joins Puig and Alex Guererro as three Cubans signed by the Dodgers in the past
two years. Los Angeles also drafted pitcher Onelki Garcia in 2012. He defected
to the United States in 2010. Puig said he has known Arruebarrena since he was
9-years-old and their families are acquainted. Through an interpreter, Puig said
through a translator that their families know each other. He called Arruebarrena
good player. Hanley Ramirez goes into 2014 as the Dodgers starting shortstop.
Colletti, however, said that Ramirez would be willing to move to third base at
some point. Arruebarrena has played third and second base. "But we see him as a
shortstop," Colletti said of Arruebarrena. The contract includes a $7.5 million
signing bonus. His salaries will be $1.5 million this year, $3 million in 2015,
$4 million in 2016 and 2017, and $5 million in 2018.

Fister and Jake Peavy, youre up next in Game 4 and theres a lot to live up
to.BOSTON -- Jason Kipnis delivered three singles for the Cleveland Indians, and
then he helped them out with his glove. The Indians second baseman snagged a
hard-hit grounder from Red Sox slugger David Ortiz to start an eighth-inning
double play. Instead of facing a late Boston rally, the Indians held on for a
3-2 victory on Saturday that snapped a four-game losing streak. "He hit it
pretty hard," Kipnis said. "You guys know as well as I do: Youve got some time
with him going down the line. All he has to do is jog, with most of his hits."
Asdrubal Cabrera and Michael Brantley each had a pair of hits for Cleveland,
which had lost eight of its past nine games at Fenway Park. The Indians scored
two runs in the seventh to take the lead on an error by catcher A.J. Pierzynski
and a bases-loaded walk. "Were going to have to win some games like that," said
Cleveland manager Terry Francona, whose team stranded 13 base runners and went 0
for 11 with runners in scoring position. John Axford (2-3) earned the win with
one scoreless inning in relief of T.J. House, and Cody Allen pitched the ninth
for his seventh save. Craig Breslow (2-2) took the loss, allowing two unearned
runs and two hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning. Boston starter
Jake Peavy left with a 2-1 lead but remains winless in his past nine starts.
"You just try to do what you can do to win," said Peavy, who entered the game
with the second-lowest run support in the AL. "Obviously, its been tough to
score on my day, thats something Im not going to shy away from. Im not blaming
anyone. I have to be better. Guys have to find a way to be better on my day to
win. Its frustrating, no doubt. At the end of the day its frustrating to lose."
The Red Sox ledd 2-1 when Breslow relieved Peavy to start the
seventh.dddddddddddd Cabrera hit a grounder behind second base that shortstop
Jonathan Herrera grabbed with a diving stop, but his throw to first short-hopped
Mike Napoli and popped off the heel of his glove. Michael Brantley singled to
right, then second baseman Dustin Pedroia tried to come home on Kipnis grounder
but Pierzynski couldnt come up with the ball. Home plate umpire Sean Barber
initially signalled out, but changed the call when he saw the ball rolling in
the dirt. "You cant second-guess that," Red Sox manager John Farrell said.
"Thats a good, aggressive defensive play. Then unfortunately we started to
nitpick a little bit on the outside of the strike zone." Two outs later,
David Murphy walked to load the bases and, after Junichi Tazawa relieved
Breslow, Carlos Santana walked in the go-ahead run to make it 3-2. Jonny Gomes
and Brock Holt had two hits apiece for the Red Sox, who scored a season-high 10
runs on Friday night. Boston had won seven in a row at home. Ortiz doubled in a
run in the first inning for Boston. It was his 422nd career double in a Red Sox
uniform, tying Wade Boggs for fourth on the teams all-time list. NOTES: Peavy is
0-4 with a 5.46 ERA in his past nine starts. ... Red Sox SS Stephen Drew missed
