Ryan Anderson Redskins Jersey . -- South
Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney says he will enter for the NFL draft.
Likely the top overall talent in the draft class, Clowney finished his college
career Wednesday in the Gamecocks 34-24 victory over Wisconsin in the Capital
One Bowl. "Before we even put the pads on, I thought weve only got 60 minutes
and its over with," he said. "Im going to be sad about it. ... Im excited to
move forward with my life, though." The junior had five tackle against the
Badgers.
Ryan Anderson Youth Jersey . Or maybe he
already did. Clark hit his first homer, Wily Peralta pitched into the seventh
inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Miami Marlins 4-1 Wednesday night.
Ryan Anderson Jersey . For the first time all
night, as the Raptors were on the clock to make the 20th overall selection, no
one had the slightest idea what was about to happen. No leaks, no whispers,
nothing.LAKELAND, Florida – That Ricky Romeros name was even being mentioned as
a possibility for the last remaining spot in the Blue Jays rotation is an
indication of the uncertainty surrounding the clubs starting corps less than two
weeks before opening day. The above paragraph could be rewritten, verbatim, with
Marcus Stromans name in place of Romeros. After both men had disastrous outings
in Tuesdays 18-4 mauling at the hands of the Tigers, its clear that neither is
the best option to begin the season in Toronto. Whats also clear is that it isnt
clear who the best option is to join R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Brandon Morrow
and, presumably, Drew Hutchison in a rotation that last season posted baseballs
second-worst starting staff ERA (4.81.) Romero and Stroman were outsiders at
best to break camp with the big league club and for different reasons. There had
been cautious optimism surrounding Romero, the reclamation project, who had been
showing some signs of emerging from his two-year funk. Stroman, meanwhile, is a
projected future star and rotation cornerstone who, along with Drew Hutchison
and Aaron Sanchez, has the coaching staff salivating. Given the
mediocre-to-subpar performances of J.A. Happ, Esmil Rogers and Todd Redmond this
spring, theres been some consideration, however small, given to handing Stroman
a rotation spot. After all, how much lesser of an option is he than any of the
others? Romero, scheduled to go four or five innings on Tuesday depending on
pitch count, instead went two-and-two-thirds, allowing three runs on three hits,
a home run, five walks, a hit batter and two wild pitches. It could have been
worse. Romero picked off two of his walks and another was caught stealing. Only
23 of Romeros 57 pitches were strikes. He acknowledged falling behind in counts
and not following through in his delivery but also took a shot at Mother Nature.
"It was a weird weather day, too," said Romero. "The balls were a little slick
and it just kept coming out of my hand and whatnot, but I tried to battle." The
game time temperature was 20-celcius. It was a sunny day. There was a breeze,
but nothing out of the ordinary. Romero also admitted to being too amped up. "I
was a little excited," he said. "I think just getting a start and whatnot, that
was the first start Ive had since the Triple-A season ended last year. It was a
little different, just trying to get used to it again." "Not enough strikes,"
said manager John Gibbons. "Today, all the way around, it was just a bad day in
every phase of the game. Let that one go. Ive got nothing to say. Its tough for
me to analyze that. You were watching what I was watching. You analyze it."
While theres no doubt the Blue Jays would enjoy getting some kind of return on
the $15.6-million still owed Romero through the end of next season, his name
started coming up as a rotation option only after general manager Alex
Anthopoulos failed to sign Ervin Santana, a non-move which seems to become more
glaring by the day. Gibbons wouldnt commit to whether Romero would get another
start. "This ones over," said Gibbons. "It was a bad day all the way around."
Stroman was supposed to follow Romero and pitch four or five innings. He
recorded only one out before being pulled in the fifth, giving up seven runs on
five hits with a walk and a strikeout. "Not enough strikes," said Gibbons. Its
pretty simple." Toronto pitchers combined to walk 11 on the afternoon. The Blue
Jays need someone to step up, pitch well and take the final rotation spot. Time
is running out before the job is awarded to someone by default. Its J.A. Happs
turn next. He starts on Wednesday, in Dunedin, against the Phillies. MORROW vs.
BUEHRLE IN INTRASQUAD GAME Brandon Morrow, whos being strongly considered to
pitch the home opener on April 4 against the Yankees, making him the "fifth"
starter, squared off against Mark Buehrle in an intrasquad game in Dunedin on
Tuesday. Morrow, who missed the final fouur months of last season with an
entrapped radial nerve in his right forearm, has struggled with fastball command
this spring.
Jonathan Allen Jersey. In
three-and-two-thirds innings, he allowed two runs on four hits, walking two and
striking out two. Morrow threw 63 pitches; his fastball ranged in the low-to-mid
90s. "I was getting ahead, throwing it where I wanted to," said Morrow. "I think
I had a couple looking strikeouts on it. All in all, it was a good day. I felt
really good with my curveball. Slider and split couldve been better, but I made
some good pitches with those too." Buehrle threw four-and-third innings,
allowing three runs, two earned, on five hits (including home runs by Erik Kratz
and Kenny Wilson) and two walks. He struck out three and threw 81 pitches.
JANSSEN THROWS LIVE BATTING PRACTICE Casey Janssen faced live hitters for the
first time since late February. He threw live batting practice on Tuesday
morning in Dunedin. "Another step in the right direction," said Janssen. "Got
the heart pumping a little bit, which was nice. Im sure Fridays going to be more
of the same, hopefully a little bit more in the velocity department, just
because therell be defenders behind me." Barring the unforeseen, Janssen is
scheduled to appear in his first Grapefruit League game on Friday when the Blue
Jays visit the Rays in Port Charlotte. On Tuesday, Janssen threw his fastball,
curveball, slider and changeup. He didnt throw his cut fastball. Janssen has
been kept out of spring games due to soreness in the back of his right shoulder.
The pain is unrelated to his offseason shoulder surgery of a year ago and the
discomfort it caused last year. DETERMINING LINDS ROLE Adam Lind got the start
against Tigers left-hander Drew Smyly on Tuesday as the club works toward
determining whether hell be a strict platoon player this season. "I always can
hit lefties; I just cant hit the Cy Young lefties," said Lind. "I cant tell you
how many people probably hit David Price well or Jon Lester well or CC
(Sabathia) well but unfortunately all those guys are in the same division. Its
the beauty of playing in this division. You know where youre at as a baseball
player." Linds career splits dont lie. Hes hit right-handers at a .286 BA/.850
OPS clip and hits a home run about once in every 20 at-bats. Against
left-handers, the number dwindles to .219BA/.603 OPS with a home run in
2.6-percent of his at-bats. Right-handed hitting Moises Sierra, whos out of
options, is the top candidate at the moment to take those at-bats against
lefties. The Jays are still trying to figure out the plan. "Hes been swinging
it pretty good against some pretty good lefties this spring," said manager John
Gibbons. "Well just see where it goes from there. It all stacks up right now,
and Sierras that guy, he would face some of the lefties. But, I think, Lindy and
(hitting coach Kevin) Seitzer have been working on an approach to face those
lefties and lets see where that takes us." Lind succeeded in his goal of staying
off the disabled list last season. Hed missed time with a bad back in each of
the previous two years. Last offseason, Lind turned to yoga. He enjoyed it and
felt that it helped so he took it up a notch this past winter. "I went personal
yoga instructor this year," said Lind. "It was nice. She got to know my body and
we got a little more specific instead of just having a class with 20 people in
it. She would correct me if I was in the wrong positions and things like that.
It was nice to have someone to be there just for me." The Blue Jays will employ
a yoga instructor to conduct a session on a weekly basis in an effort to curb
the number of muscle-related injuries. Lind likes the benefits. "I loved it," he
said. "Ill continue to do it even when Im done playing. The way it makes you
feel when you walk out of that classroom, you really get away. Theres so much
more into it, Im just doing the physical part of it. Im not lost in the yoga
world just yet."
