ortiz hit his 19th homerun...and not only is the all time home run leader for a DH, he passed harold baines for the most hits all time as a DH


1,689

he will be the first DH elected to the HOF

Ortiz already holds marks for the most runs scored, doubles, home runs, extra-base hits and RBIs by a designated hitter.

bruins lock up tuuka rask for 8 years 56 mil

i dont like long contracts, especially when subban, the 19 year old super prospect goalie, went pro yesterday and will be in the AHL next year. nice to have him locked in, just dont like the 8 years. those never work out for more than 3-4 years before the guy is moved.

Report: Derek Jeter back Thursday


Updated: July 11, 2013, 7:22 AM ET
ESPN.com news services



Derek Jeter will return to the New York Yankees' lineup on Thursday, FoxSports.com reported late Wednesday night.
Jeter, who has missed the entire season while recovering from a broken ankle suffered in last season's American League Championship Series, will be activated and in the lineup against the Kansas City Royals at either shortstop or designated hitter, the report said.
The 39-year-old played his fourth minor league game with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday night. However, neither Yankees manager Joe Girardi nor general manager Brian Cashman would confirm an earlier YES Network report that the Yankees plan to call Jeter up on Friday.



"As I've said, we evaluate it every day," Girardi said after the Yankees' 8-1 win over Kansas City. "Let's just see where he's at."
Jeter struggled in the field Wednesday. He made an error on a throw to first in the fifth, bobbled a grounder on a blown force play at second in the third, and failed to get a lead runner at third base on another third-inning grounder.
Afterward, Jeter shrugged off his fielding struggles as just another step in the rehabilitation process.
"I feel good," Jeter said after playing seven innings in the RailRiders' 5-1 loss to Rochester. "There were a lot of different situations that happened, but everything was good."
Jeter broke his ankle on Oct. 13 and had surgery to repair it. He played five spring training games, but a new break was discovered April 18.
Regarding his return to the Yankees, Jeter said Wednesday: "It's not up to me but I'm excited to get the opportunity to get back as soon as I can."

No NHL team has learned about long - term deals in hockey, which sucks. Glad he is re-signed but yes too long of a deal

Nathan Horton signs with Blue Jackets for seven seasons - CBSSports.com

Nathan Horton signs with Blue Jackets for seven seasons




The Columbus Blue Jackets had targeted Nathan Horton in free agency and they got him.
The Jackets announced on Friday that they have agreed to a seven-year deal with the free-agent winger, the longest deal they could sign him to. [ame="https://twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie/statuses/353194750553239554"]According to Bob McKenzie[/ame], the contract is worth $37.1 million, or $5.3 million annually.
"This is the place I wanted to be," Horton said when he was introduced. "With Mr. Davidson and Jarmo, [The team] is in the hands of the right people and its headed in the right direction."
This is a huge splash for the Jackets -- and a huge gamble. Horton can be the type of scoring winger the Jackets really need. Offense was a major problem for them last season and he gives them a true top-line talent, even if he is a little inconsistent.
However it's a gamble for multiple reasons. First off, any time you give a player a seven-year contract it's risky. But then take into account that Horton will shortly undergo shoulder surgery and there must be concerns going forward.

Cautious Optimism Regarding Gronk

Adam Schefter discusses Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's rehab process and the timeline for his return.Tags: Rob Gronkowski, Patriots, Adam Schefter


Tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is recovering from back surgery, has returned to the New England Patriots' facility in Foxborough, Mass., where he is doing his rehab work under the guidance of the team's trainers.



Gronkowski is concentrating mainly on stretching and improving his core strength.
A person who has seen Gronkowski at the facility tells ESPN that Gronkowski looks good and seems to be progressing, but nobody yet knows whether he'll be ready for the Patriots' opener against the Buffalo Bills.
Gronkowski had the surgery on his back last month and Dr. Robert Watkins, who performed the procedure, said the "timing of his return to football will depend on his progression through the rehabilitation program."
He also had a fourth surgery on his left forearm in May, where doctors put new plates in to repair the previous break.

He is expected to open training camp on the physically unable to perform list, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter last month.

edgar has lesser numbers across the board and played til he was 41

ortiz is 37

martinez had 6, 100 RBI seasons as a DH

ortiz has 6, and came up with 99 and 96 in 2 other years. if he stays healthy, he gets his 7th this year

edgars career 162 average is 24/99

ortiz is 36/118
