Our story does not begin with the trade this past weekend that sent Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Minnesota Vikings. Jordan Adams Jersey . Nor does it begin last Tuesday, when Teddy Bridgewater tore up his knee in practice and broke the hearts of a fan base anticipating its first playoff victory since Brett Favre was in town. Our story actually begins in mid-July, when the Football Outsiders staff was hard at work cranking out our annual almanac.As I was writing the Vikings chapter, I was struck by Shaun Hills career passing numbers, which were surprisingly good for a guy who has never started more than 10 games in a season. I knew his rate stats would be better than those of some starting quarterbacks, and I went looking for a starter with similar figures. The result of that search was the following table, which originally ran in Football Outsiders Almanac on Aug. 1:The salary figures include the money Hill earned while on NFL practice squads, but not his lucrative stint with the Amsterdam Admirals. Most of the other numbers are self-explanatory with the exception of DVOA, Football Outsiders exclusive metric that analyzes every play of the season and accounts not only for yardage, but also for first downs, field position, scoring margin, quality of opponent and many other factors. (More information is available here.) Regardless, all the data points to the same conclusion: When given the opportunity to play, Hills performance has closely matched that of Bradfords, and in some measurements exceeded it.Fast-forward five weeks, and Bradford and Hill are now teammates, and what had seemed like a fairly random comparison in July suddenly seems a lot more relevant -- and now warrants further exploration. Is it really fair to say that Shaun Hill has been a better NFL quarterback than Sam Bradford? Shareef Abdur-Rahim Grizzlies Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. Bryant Reeves Jersey . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. http://www.thegrizzliesofficial.com/Authentic-Mike-Bibby-Grizzlies-Jersey/ . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games.BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Based on the three strikeouts he posted in his one inning of work, its understandable why Sergio Santos feels hes ready to return to the Toronto Blue Jays. Santos, pitching for the Buffalo Bisons, fanned three of the four batters he faced, shutting out the Toledo Mud Hens in the seventh inning of a 4-2 loss. On the disabled list since April 15 with a right triceps strain, Santos allowed a one-out single in the first triple-A game of his rehab assignment. He threw 12 of his 20 pitches for strikes. Prior to joining Buffalo, Santos appeared in five games with single-A Dunedin and allowed four hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings. "I felt good. It was definitely a little different atmosphere than I was used to in Dunedin," Santos said. "I had a little more adrenaline going, facing better hitters. It was a better task for me and I was able to get a better gauge of where Im at." After a little prodding, Santos admitted he felt ready to make the short jaunt along the Queen Elizabeth Way to Toronto. "It was a good days work," Santos said. "If it was up to me, Id like to be back as soon as possible." Buffalo manager Marty Brown differed slightly, indicating Santos needs more seasoning. "He definitely needs another outing or two," Brown said. "Just to see where hes at. He was a little amped up tonight." Brown added: "He threw the ball well, but threw too many pitches. I liked what I saw, but hes not where he needs to be with his slider." Santos felt that the hit he allowed provided a benefit, forcing him into a situation with a runner on base. Marc Gasol Jersey. "Thats what I need to work on," he said. "It feels so foreign sometimes when theres runners on base and theres stuff happening. It kind of felt more game-like, in situations I would face during the season. It was good to have that kind of pressure and not let any runs come across." Outfielder Melky Cabrera also joined the Bisons (49-48) to continue his rehab work, but did not play. He was placed on Torontos disabled list on June 27 with left knee tendinitis and has played two games with Dunedin and three with double-A New Hampshire, batting .294 (5-of-17) in five games. Cabrera is expected to make his Buffalo debut on Friday. Thad Weber (3-4), who made four appearances with Toronto in May and June, started for Buffalo and battled through five innings. He matched his season-high with four runs allowed on six hits and a season-high four walks. Weber entered the game with five quality starts in his last six appearances and had last worked fewer than six innings on June 4. Buffalo, in its first game since the all-star break, was held to seven hits, including a two-out triple by Kevin Pillar in the first inning. Pillar has been a revelation at triple-A, batting .347 with hits in 20-of-25 games with the Bisons. Munenori Kawasaki, optioned to Buffalo last Saturday when Brett Lawrie made his Toronto return, was 1-of-3 with an infield single and a walk. Both of the Bisons representatives in the triple-A all-star game, held Wednesday in Reno, played against Toledo. Jim Negrych and Mauro Gomez each went 1-of-3 and scored runs.
