Left-hander Ross Detwiler will get his wish to start again from the Texas Rangers after he spent last season in Washingtons bullpen. Adrien Silva Jersey .Texas completed a deal Friday to acquire Detwiler from the Nationals for two minor league prospects, infielder Chris Bostick and right-hander Abel De Los Santos.I dont really look at it as them giving me up. I look at it as the Rangers really wanting me, and they were willing to give up some of their prospects for me, Detwiler said. I think its going to be a better fit for me. ... I didnt really see myself in a relieving role. I think I am a starter. Im just ecstatic to get another chance to start somewhere.Detwiler was in the bullpen all last season, working mostly in long relief and going 2-3 with a 4.00 ERA in 63 innings over 47 appearances. The former first-round draft pick was left off the Nationals post-season roster for the NL division series against the San Francisco Giants.When youve got a player thats motivated and maybe has some internal drive, internal motivation to go out there and perform, its usually a good thing, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said.Detwiler has started 69 of his 132 major league games, all for the Nationals after they drafted him sixth overall in 2007. His career record is 20-32 with a 3.82 ERA.Not involved in the market for upper-tier free agents, Texas went into the off-season looking to add another experienced starter in its rotation with Yu Darvish, Derek Holland and Colby Lewis. The fifth spot will likely be left open for competition in spring training among several young pitchers in the organization, including some who have already made a number of starts in the majors for Texas.While Daniels likes the internal options for the fifth spot, he said there will always be more conversations about adding starting depth.I do feel this does take the edge off a little bit in that we feel like Ross can come in and give us some innings as a starter, he said.Detwiler, who is arbitration eligible and can become a free agent after next season, has been working out this off-season as he did in previous years. He doesnt expect any physical limitations with the increased innings needed to be a starter again.His best season was 2012 when he went 10-8 with a 3.40 ERA in 33 games (27 starts). He started Game 4 of the NL division series, which Washington needed to win to avoid elimination, and allowed an unearned run over six innings against St. Louis.The lefty was limited to 13 starts in 2013, when he went on the 15-day disabled list for a right back muscle strain and later ended the season on the 60-day DL because of a lower back strain.Daniels said there are no concerns about those back issues. The team reviewed medical records before completing the deal that got done during this weeks winter meetings in San Diego.Bostick was at High-A Myrtle Beach last season, where he hit .251 with 11 home runs and 62 RBIs in 130 games. De Los Santos pitched for Myrtle Beach and Class-A Hickory, going 5-3 with a 1.92 ERA and eight saves in 41 relief appearances combined for those two teams. Miguel Monteiro Jersey . After deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league would consider pulling out of Sochi if something "significant" happens before players arrive, those set to participate are trying not to worry about that scenario. Cedric Jersey .com) - In the absence of Dwight Howard, Donatas Motiejunas had a career night to keep the Houston Rockets winning streak alive.TORONTO – For the third time in three years the Maple Leafs and Cody Franson went down to the wire and begrudgingly agreed to a one-year deal. Due for player-elected salary arbitration in Toronto on Monday, Franson came to a last-minute agreement with the Leafs, inked for one more season at $3.3 million, a raise from the $2 million he garnered a year ago. Acquired in a trade from Nashville in the summer of 2011, the 26-year-old has butted heads with the organization in each and every contract negotiation, settling for a series of one-year deals which have highlighted the divide in presumed value between the two sides. Fransons camp believes his value is evident in production that ranks favourably at the defensive position – his 62 points over the past two seasons ranks 20th amongst NHL defenders – and a growing physical game – he led all blueliners in hits a year ago. He also showed comparatively strong possession numbers on a weak possession team and helped anchor a strong Toronto power-play unit. The Leafs were frustrated, however, with his defensive limitations and proved to be disappointed in his overall performance as a top-four defender last season.  Hence, the ongoing divide. In the winter of 2013, the contract showdown lasted right up until the end of the lockout, an agreement for $1.2 million reached while Fransoon played overseas in Sweden. Anthony Lopes Jersey. Last fall, coming off a breakout 48-game campaign, he and the Leafs remained, nonetheless, far apart in negotiations, finally landing (with some frustration) on another one-year deal worth $2 million with only two games to go in the preseason. It was a bargain the B.C. native felt he had no choice but to take. A restricted free agent one last time this summer, but with more leverage in the form of salary arbitration, Franson squeezed out a raise of $1.3 million. Yet to be embraced by the organization and set for unrestricted free agency next summer, he remains a candidate to be moved. Toronto has already restructured much of its previously mishmashed defence, bringing in a pair of Western Conference mainstays, Stephane Robidas and Roman Polak, aboard earlier in the summer. They also boast internal candidates – Petter Granberg, Stuart Percy, Korbinian Holzer and Andrew MacWilliam – who may be ready to step into the NHL next season, thus filling Fransons void if he were to be moved. The Leafs, who project to have plenty of cap space remaining, continue to work on new contracts for Jake Gardiner and James Reimer. Reimer, who is likely returning to the club next season despite a desire to start fresh elsewhere, is scheduled for salary arbitration on July 28th. NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys 2020 Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys 2018Cheap Jerseys 2020 ' ' '
