PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated Trevor Cahill for assignment, a move that could send the struggling right-hander to the minors.
Derek
Rivers Patriots Jersey . Cahill, acquired in a trade with Oakland in 2012,
had lost his job in the rotation after a series of bad outings then struggled in
a bullpen role. The team also placed third baseman Eric Chavez on the 15-day
disabled list with a sore right knee. The Diamondbacks activated right-handed
reliever J.J. Putz from the disabled list and recalled right-handed reliever
Will Harris from Triple-A Reno. The Diamondbacks have 10 days to either trade
Cahill, release him, outright him or option him to the minors. If they outright
him, the pitcher would go on waivers and could be claimed by other teams. That
and a trade are unlikely because Cahill is due to earn about $17 million in a
contract that runs through next year, and Cahill seemed to be open to the idea
of going to the minors, probably to Reno. "Our hope is to retain him,"
Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said. "We still think theres value
there." Cahill , 1-6 with a 5.66 ERA, had his best years with Oakland. In 2010,
he was 18-8 for the As with a 2.97 ERA. "After everything thats happened, I
still believe I can come back and be a starter and help this team win," he said
before Monday nights game against Houston. "I mean, theyve been nothing but
supportive and I cant ask f or anything more." Manager Kirk Gibson noted that
Cahill is only 26. "This games tough. Theres a lot of people that struggle,"
Gibson said, "and they have to find a way to get back to what they can be.
Again, its a tough game, but I still believe in Trevor. I have confidence in
him. Hes young. Hes got that going for him." Cahill was particularly aggravating
to the Diamondbacks because at times he had spectacular stuff, but that didnt
translate into success in games. "There are times when I come out of the pen and
feel real good and starts when I feel really good, its just the starts that I
dont feel sharp," he said. "Ive just got to figure out a way to kind of get
through it and still help the team win." Towers said that Cahill is not suited
for a bullpen role. "We think his best role is a starter," Towers said. "Thats
what we traded for is a starter. ... Its tough to get a guy lengthened up to
become a starter when hes pitching once every eight or nine days in relief."
Asked if he regretted the trade, Towers said that he doesnt look back once a
deal is made. "I still believe in the kid," he said. Cahill voiced confidence in
the Diamondbacks front office. "Im sure theyll do right by me," he said. "They
havent given me any indication they wouldnt. Im just going to do whatever is
best for the team. I want to stay here but I want to get better and be the guy
that I think I can be."
Derek
Rivers Womens Jersey . There was little fanfare, though, when the Yankees
captain was taken out of his final regular-season Subway Series game in the
eighth inning. Jeter watched the last four outs from the bench, pulled off the
field during a double switch Thursday night as the Yankees held off the Mets
1-0.
Deatrich
Wise Jr. Jersey .com) - A top-10 showdown is on tap in at the McKale
Center on Saturday, as the 10th-ranked Arizona Wildcats play host to the
eighth-ranked Utah Utes in a key Pac-12 matchup.
http://www.authenticpatriotsfanatic.com/c-92-patriots-antonio-garcia-jersey.aspx . The team sent out a press release on Friday stating Poile was resting and
recovering and that he will remain in hospital for further observation. The
Predators were preparing for the game against the Wild when Poile was hit by a
puck that flew off the ice at him where he was standing in a tunnel behind the
bench.TORONTO - They came into the CFL combine as the top prospects and Pierre
Lavertu and David Foucault didnt do anything Sunday to diminish that standing.
The two offensive linemen capped the weekend with solid performances in the
one-on-one drills at Varsity Stadium although Foucault, who was battling the
flu, also showed he was human. The six-foot-eight, 300-pound tackle was knocked
on his backside in a one-on-one matchup with Western defensive end Dylan
Ainsworth, who gave up six inches and 75 pounds on the Montreal Carabins
offensive lineman. "He did the bullrush and kicked my ass," Foucault said with a
chuckle. "I was too high in my stance and he took advantage of my weakness. "It
was a good experience here to see all the best guys in Canada as well as the CFL
teams. It was a good weekend." Lavertu, a six-foot-three, 300-pound lineman from
Laval, and Foucault finished the season ranked second and third, respectively,
on the CFL scouting bureaus top-15 prospects for this years draft. McGill tackle
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, who ended up No. 1, didnt attend as hell hold his pro
day in Montreal next week for both NFL and CFL officials. That left the
offensive line contingent with three of the remaining four top-ranked players —
Simon Frasers Matthias Goossen ended the year at No. 5. The other was
fourth-ranked St. Francis receiver Devon Bailey. Ottawa Redblacks scout Miles
Gorrell, who played 19 CFL seasons as an offensive lineman, gushed about the
O-line talent at the combine. "Their footwork and hand placement are very good,
its clear theyre well coached," Gorrell said. "You see guys like Pierre Lavertu,
David Foucault and Matthias Goossen stepping up to the plate and being able to
prove to the coaches and scouts theyre ready to take the next step. "But a kid
like Jaskaran Dhillon of UBC really impressed me, this was his first year
playing on the offensive line. I also thought Terry Hart from Mount Allison did
a great job and I also liked Kyle Patterson of Regina and Aaron Wheaton from the
U of T." Gorrell also had words of encouragement for Foucault. "Ill guarantee
you every offensive lineman has had that day," he said. "You consider a
defensive lineman has 12 sacks in 18 games and hes had a great year but that
means the offensive line has stopped him 98 per cent of the time. "Its all about
how many times did you stop your opponent and David Foucault got beat on one
play and Id say he was out there for 30 plays so what would you grade that as?
Yes, Dylan Ainsworth rolled him but its going to happen to the best of them ...
you just hope it doesnt stay on film forever." Mike OShea, the former CFL
standout linebacker whos now the head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, was
impressed with Lavertus play. "Polished, he looked very good," OShea said.
"Theres a bunch who look ready to go in the CFL and contribute right away."
Predictably, Lavertu was hard on his performance Sunday. "I think it was half
and half," he said. "I won some, lost some, but overall Im satisfied. "We were
up against the best (defensive linemen) in the country and I have to show the
scouts Im one of the top-ranked players." Unfortunately for Lavertu and the
other prospects, the CFL draft wont be held until May 13. But Lavertu has plenty
to keep himself occupied with between now and then. "Ill go back to the gym to
make sure I am ready," he said. "Ill work on my core, my leg strength and my
technique." Manitobas Evan Gill, the scouting bureaus top-ranked defensive
lineman at No. 6, displayed impressive brute strength Sunday. However, not
having been in pads since the end of the season took its toll on the
six-foot-three 300-pound Winnipeg native. "It was tough knocking the rust off,"
he said. "Youre getting a lot of reps at once and youre getting gassed out
there, its tough moving at that fast pace. "But its not necessarily how you
perform, its how you move, how your body works ... theyre the top coaches,
theyre professionals and theyll mould you into what they want. Overall, I think
the weekend was a success because I met with all nine teams and I wanted to tell
them my story and I feel I accomplished that." Laval defensive back Adam
Thibault was a standout individually. Thibault, ranked No. 13 on the CFLs top-15
list, had the top 40-yard dash time of 4.454 seconds and also finished first in
the left and right agility drills as well as the shuttle. However Thibault, who
had a personal-best 18 reps in the bench press Saturday — tops among the
defensive backs — couldnt go in the one-on-one drills due to an apparent
hamstring injury. Many prospects showed their versatility Sunday. Concordia
defensive lineman Quinn Smith performed quite well lining up as an offensive
lineman while both Ainsworth and Saint Marys Nigel Romick also worked with the
linebackers. As well, Simon Fraser linebacker Casey Chin was impressive as a
long-snapper. Given the limitations of a CFLs 42-man active roster, versatility
is a much sought-after commodity by coaches and GMs. "The more you can do the
better," Gorrell said. "If you can carry the water jug and get the coaches
doughnuts, its all good." Here is a list of all the top performers in each
event. Bench Press Rank Player Pos School Result 1 David Menard DL Montreal 33
