TORONTO -- Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar was ejected by first-base umpire Marvin Hudson in the sixth inning of Saturday's 3-0 loss Steve Young Throwback Jersey to the Rangers after a close call at first base.Escobar hit a chopper up the middle, which was fielded by second baseman Ian Kinsler as he ranged to his right. Kinsler's throw to first was Steve Largent Throwback Jersey slightly off target, but first baseman Michael Young appeared to stretch out to make the play as Hudson called Escobar out.Escobar contested the call -- Kirby Puckett Throwback Jersey complaining that Young's foot was pulled off the Kent Hrbek Throwback Jersey bag before the ball arrived -- and was promptly tossed by Hudson. It was Escobar's third groundout of the game and first ejection of the season.Blue Jays manager John Farrell came out for some brief words with Hudson, then returned to the dugout with his club trailing, 2-0. "From our vantage point in the dugout, it looked like he might have come off early," Farrell said. Rod Carew Throwback Jersey "But Marvin had him Bert Blyleven Throwback Jersey hanging onto the bag just enough."Escobar -- who was born in Cuba and speaks only partial English -- could only get a few words in before Joe DiMaggio Throwback Jersey he was quickly tossed from the game."Obviously, he said enough Ronnie Lott Throwback Jersey quickly to get ejected Harmon Killebrew Throwback Jersey out of the game," Farrell said. "But once that call is made, it's made."Aaron Hill took Escobar's leadoff spot in the batting order and played second base, pushing John McDonald over to shortstop. Hill grounded into a double play in his only at-bat.Escobar's ejection was the Blue Jays' fifth of the season and just the third time a player has Dan Majerle Throwback Jersey been tossed. Farrell has earned two dismissals, while reliever Jon Rauch and catcher Jose Molina have each been tossed once.Escobar has been one of Kevin Johnson Throwback Jersey the Blue Jays' most productive players of late, reaching base safely in 29 of his past 32 contests. He is batting .348 with 16 walks and a .425 on-base percentage over that span.Coming into Saturday's game, Escobar led the Majors with a .467 on-base percentage since June 24 and ranked second in batting average, hitting .381 in his 27 games since that point.The 28-year-old is now Don Mattingly Throwback Jersey 0-for-7 during Toronto's series with Texas. He went 0-for-4 in the Tony Oliva Throwback Jersey series opener, which snapped a streak of five straight multi-hit games.

NEW YORK -- As the Yankees continue to monitor the pitching market approaching the Trade Deadline, manager Joe Girardi seems prepared to pursue a championship with the group that he has.The Yankees would love to add another arm in the rotation or the bullpen before 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, but nothing appears imminent, and Girardi offered a vote of confidence for his club as currently comprised."We've gotten to where we are with the guys in this room; that's the bottom line," Girardi said. "No, we're not in first place, but I believe we have the second-best record in the American League, and one of the better records Michael Cooper Throwback Jersey in baseball."New York entered play on Saturday 19 games over .500 at 61-42, 2 1/2 games BLeandro Barbosa Throwback Jersey behind the Red Sox for the AL East lead. Only Boston (64-40, .615) and the Phillies (66-39, .629) had higher winning percentages than the Bombers' .592. They have shown some level of interest in the cast of starting pitchers being bandied about, including the Rockies' Ubaldo Jimenez, the Dodgers' Hiroki Kuroda and the Astros' Wandy Rodriguez, but general manager Brian Cashman has been publicly pessimistic of a deal being struck, not interested in parting with several high-level prospects.
Instead, Cashman has said that the Yankees will be hard-pressed to improve upon the additions they have made recently from their own disabled list. New York has restored Bartolo Colon, Phil Hughes, Eric Chavez and Rafael Soriano to the active roster, with Alex Rodriguez expected to be a couple of weeks behind them."This team has played very well with the guys that we have in Allen Iverson Throwback Jersey this room," Girardi said. "Have we gotten big contributions from players we didn't necessarily expect? Yes, we have. But as far as trades, as I always talk about, my job is to manage the guys in that room and get the best out of them. Tracy Mcgrady Throwback Jersey And there's a lot of talent in that room."Girardi said that he has been impressed by Jerry Rice Throwback Jersey the resilience of the bullpen, which lost key contributors in Joba Chamberlain -- out for the year following Tommy John surgery -- as well Vince Carter Throwback Jersey as Soriano for two months, but has filled in without skipping much of a beat. "The big thing for this club is staying healthy," Girardi said. "We've had Shaquille O'Neal Throwback Jersey some injuries that we've had to deal with, and we've lost a lot of guys in our bullpen. Guys have stepped up. If guys keep stepping up like they've Charles Barkley Throwback Jersey been, we should be OK." &n bsp; ; &n bsp; HOPE Week honoree Ajello delivers first pitch &nbs p; NEW YORK -- The Yankees gave Megan Ajello a wonderful surprise to begin her day on Thursday, and she helped return the favor by kicking off the team's afternoon on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.Using her motorized wheelchair, the 17-year-old drove the ceremonial first pitch from the mound to home plate, drawing a cheer from the crowd as the baseball was delivered to Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli. Ajello was honored on Thursday with a special visit by the team to her Staten Island lemonade stand as part of the Yankees' HOPE (Helping Others Persevere and Excel) Week. She also helped first-base coach Mick Kelleher deliver the lineup card to the umpiring crew at home plate before Saturday's doubleheader, shaking hands with umpires Tim Welke, Mike Estabrook, Jim Reynolds and Mike DiMuro, before announcing, "Play ball," over the stadium's PA system. Ajello suffers from cerebral palsy and scoliosis, fighting through six major surgeries, including a spinal fusion. Though bound to a wheelchair, Megan's disabilities have not prevented her from putting together a charity lemonade stand with her family every year since 2006."It's so easy to get caught up in the monotony and the urgency that Julius Erving Throwback Jersey we feel, but in reality, what's more important than this?" Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said on Thursday at Ajello's home. "People have real needs that are daily challenges. Not necessarily whether we get a trade done or whether we get our next hit or how we match up against an opposing team. This is real-life stuff."This year, Ajello had hoped to raise $5,000 for Special Olympics; with the support of the Yankees' visit, Ajello was able to make an $11,000 donation to the charity. The Yankees Foundation also donated an additional $5,000, as well as $5,000 to Ajello's school, the Seton Wilt Chamberlain Throwback Jersey Foundation for Learning in Grasmere, N.Y. Yankees carpenters also constructed a new lemonade stand for Ajello, who received President Barack Obama's Volunteer Service Award in recognition of her efforts for charity. "It gives Joe Montana Throwback Jersey her Roger Craig Throwback Jersey a sense of pride that she's able to do certain Magic Johnson Throwback Jersey things herself and get Jason Williams Throwback Jersey all these people to come here that she knows and that are concerned for her," Megan's father, Daniel, said of the lemonade stand. "It's nice to see a lot of the people that you don't get to see as much, and kind of make them aware of what kids like Megan can motivate people to do."Ajello's experiences were just one of five remarkable stories brought to light by HOPE Week, initiated in 2009 and rooted in the fundamental belief that acts of goodwill provide hope and encouragement to more than just the recipient of the gesture.

DETROIT -- The Tigers' month-long search for starting pitching is over. So, hopefully, is Doug Fister's battle with run support.Detroit filled its most important need heading into the non-waiver Trade Deadline by acquiring Fister from Seattle on Saturday for a package of prospects. The Tigers also got right-handed Mariners reliever David Pauley in the deal, fortifying a bullpen that had been short on right-handed middle relief for most of the year.In return, Detroit sent left-hander Charlie Furbush, outfielder Casper Wells, third-base prospect Francisco Martinez and a player to be named.The deal ended what might well go down among the most exhaustive trade searches Dave Dombrowski and his assistants have engaged in over his 10 years as Tigers president/general manager."Our list started at 24 guys that we were looking at," Dombrowski said. "We're very happy to consummate this deal, as we think Fister will help us now. We like him a great deal."The Tigers' enthusiasm for Jerry West Throwback Jersey Fister centers on more than his basic stats. Fister owns a 3-12 record, but that's a better reflection of the Mariners' struggles than the 27-year-old's pitching. His 3.33 ERA ranks 20th among AL starters, ahead of every current Detroit starter not named Justin Verlander. His 1.17 WHIP ratio ranks 15th. His run support, on the other hand, ranks dead last.For someone in just his second full Major League season, with another year until he's eligible for arbitration and four years until free agency, the Tigers see him as an advanced pitcher at a young age, and a guy that -- ironically, given his record for the Mariners -- gives them a chance to win. Fister will try to start doing that on Wednesday, when he makes his first start as a Tiger against familiar American League West foe Texas."[Fister] gives us that solid guy to go out there, a 6- or 7-inning-type guy that gives us a chance to win every time he takes the ball," Dombrowski said.On a staff that includes AL Cy Young candidate Verlander, high-strikeout hurler Max Scherzer and blossoming sinkerballer Rick Porcello, that chance to win was Clyde Drexler Throwback Jersey exactly what the Tigers needed. Saturday's loss to the Angels dropped Detroit to 4-17 when its fifth starter is on the mound, including Phil Coke's ill-fated starting experiment and stints from Furbush and Duane Below. They haven't won from that slot since mid-June.By contrast, James Worthy Throwback Jersey the Tigers' other four starters have combined for a 52-34 team record when they're on the mound.Tigers scouts looked at starters ranging Deion Sanders Throwback Jersey from Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez to Dodgers Japanese transplant Hiroki Kuroda, Washington's Jason Elgin Baylor Throwback Jersey Marquis, Atlanta's Derek Lowe, and many in between.All the while, their talks Hakeem Olajuwon Throwback Jersey on Fister were pretty consistent, keeping the possibility open."I think the acquisition cost was very high this year -- a lot of people looking for starting pitching and very few of them available, not many clubs that are looking to move them at this point," Dombrowski said. "Really, Seattle wasn't looking to move this guy. It was a situation where I thought the deal was dead a couple days Byron Scott Throwback Jersey ago, Allen Iverson Throwback Jersey had no chance. "I've probably spoken to [Mariners general manager] Jack Zduriencik 25 times over the last week on this one. We liked [Fister], and I knew they were looking for multiple players and young service-time guys. We had some guys that fit that description that they liked. It ended up picking up again a couple days ago and headed in this direction."The Reggie Miller Throwback Jersey deal ended up including the right-handed relief help the Tigers had been seeking as a secondary deal with other clubs. The 28-year-old Pauley owns a 5-4 record and 2.15 record, allowing 38 hits over 54 1/3 innings. He has seven holds and one blown Terry Bradshaw Throwback Jersey save. "The starter was our main Dan Fouts Throwback Jersey objective, but we also wanted to help our bullpen, if we could," Dombrowski said. "Pauley can fit a bunch of different roles. He can pitch two or three innings, which we talked about at times this year -- that lack of a right-handed guy who can do that. He can do it very comfortably, but he can also pitch an inning, too. It just so happened to tie together well with this club, but we had other conversations going on individually with relievers."The Tigers were able to add Fister and Pauley without giving up top pitching prospect Jacob Turner, who took the loss in a strong outing for Detroit on Saturday afternoon. Still, the prospect haul was heavy.Furbush rose from a Class A pitcher at the start of last season to a valuable Tigers swing starter this year, after being called up in mid-May. The lanky 25-year-old left-hander owns a 1-3 record and 3.62 ERA in 17 games, two of them starts.Wells made Detroit's Opening Day roster as an extra outfielder and stayed there until he was sent down a week ago to make room for Carlos Guillen. The athletic 26-year-old played all three outfield spots while providing some right-handed punch, batting .257 with 10 doubles, four homers and 12 RBIs in 125 plate appearances.Martinez was one of two Tigers prospects to play in the All-Star Futures Game earlier this month, and one of a few third-base prospects on the club. He Kurt Rambis Throwback Jersey rose to Double-A Erie at age 20 and batted .282 in 91 games for the SeaWolves, with 14 doubles, four triples, seven homers and 46 RBIs.The player to be named Dennis Rodman Throwback Jersey will be chosen from a list on or before Abdul-Jabbar Throwback Jersey August 20. By rule, players cannot be traded until a year after signing their first pro contract, which would indicate that prospects drafted last year and signed around the mid-August deadline are on the list. Among the deadline signings for the Tigers last year were left-hander Drew Smyly, who started for Double-A Erie Saturday, and reliever Chance Ruffin, who spent four games in Detroit's bullpen earlier this week.

Ed Wade did the right thing.The easy thing? Negative.The popular thing? Lord, no.But the right thing? Absolutely.This is a message delivered conceptually, of course. Nobody ... not Wade, not the scouts and certainly not me ... can tell you with any sort of certainty that Jarred Cosart and Jonathan Singleton will be stars and that Astros fans will one day look back on what transpired Friday night -- Rocky Bleier Throwback Jersey the night franchise face Hunter Pence was shipped to the Phillies for Cosart, Singleton, Josh Zeid and a player to be named later -- as the birth of better days.Maybe this package, John Havlicek Throwback Jersey from A to Zeid, will someday rest alongside the likes of Grady Sizemore-Cliff Lee-Brandon Phillips for Bartolo Colon or Elvis Andrus-Neftali Feliz-Matt Harrison-Jarrod Saltalamacchia for Mark Teixeira or, dare I say, Jeff Bagwell for Larry Andersen and be remembered as a Trade Deadline triumph.Or maybe it'll be more like Carlos Beltran for Mark Teahen, John Buck and Mike Wood and rest alongside the Trade Deadline duds.If we're playing the percentages, bet on something somewhere in the middle.But without access to the aftermath, all we can do in the present tense is critique the concept, rate the rationale. And if you read my previous thoughts on the Pence trade proposition, Merril Hodge Throwback Jersey you know where I come out on this one. Moving Pence now -- emotionally difficult as it might be -- is the right move.It's the right move because the Astros are on pace to obliterate the franchise loss record, with even fifth place in the National League Central looking like a rumor.It's the right move because their top three farm teams are more than 50 combined games under .500, an indication of the talent level therein.It's the right move because Pence, due two more years of arbitration, is probably going to command upward of $25 million over the course of 2012-13 -- a time when the Astros ought to be going young and cheap.It's the right move because sometimes in sports, as in life, the hardest thing is the right thing.In no way am I dismissing the emotion involved here. Because even in an abysmal season for his team, Pence represents so much that's good about the game. He won't be outworked or outhustled, and he got Larry Bird Throwback Jersey to the big leagues through good, old-fashioned Texas grit.But Pence is at his peak, both in terms of his age and his value in the trade market. Wade, whose own standing with this organization is tenuous given the pending ownership transition, was rightfully opportunistic at Scottie Pippen Throwback Jersey a time when Pence's value will never be higher.Perhaps Pence is, indeed, the right-handed power bat Phillies manager Charlie Manuel has been craving since Spring Training. The thought of Pence rounding out a lineup that supports the most dangerous starting staff in the game is obviously an appetizing one for the Philly faithful.Yet Pence, even in the midst of his best season in the Bill Russell Throwback Jersey big leagues, has his faults, to be sure. He has an .882 OPS at Bob Cousy Throwback Jersey Minute Maid Park, but just a .768 OPS away from it. His .356 on-base percentage and .471 slugging percentage are solid, but not what you'd consider elite.Pence looks best in perspective. He was clearly the rose of a thorny lineup, for one, and that adds to his appeal to Astros fans. As for opposing GMs, well, in an era of pitching prominence, at a time when right-handed power is at a premium and at a Trade Deadline with little in the way of impact talent, a guy like Pence -- especially given the status of his contractual control -- stands out. The Astros suddenly had a hot commodity on their hands, and Dominique Wilkins Throwback Jersey there was no sake in letting sentimentality getting in the way of good business.Now, Michael Jordan Throwback Jersey did Wade get enough for Pence? Way too soon to Rod Woodson Throwback Jersey tell. And it'll be too soon to tell for a long, long while. Trades of this Danny Ainge Throwback Jersey nature take at least several years to evaluate, sometimes more. And considering the two principle pieces in this deal are both in Class A ball, the jury's going to be in deliberations for the foreseeable future.All we can say for sure is that in Cosart and Singleton, the Astros hauled in the most highly rated prospects in the Philadelphia system -- a system Wade and company are obviously familiar with thanks to the Roy Oswalt negotiations a year ago and the Brad Lidge trade two and a half years before that. The Lidge trade netted Michael Bourn, who might well be Dennis Rodman Throwback Jersey the next asset sent packing for prospects. The Oswalt trade brought in J.A. Happ, Minor League shortstop Jonathan Villar and center fielder Anthony Gose, who was then flipped to the Blue Jays for Brett Wallace. The early returns on that series of swaps are hardly overwhelming, but, again, Kevin Mchale Throwback Jersey it's best to judge these things over time.For now, Astros fans, the best advice at this juncture is to read about Cosart's electric stuff and Singleton's projectable power and hope for the best, but, naturally, be patient with the process. The Astros are smart to be acknowledging not only their place in the standings this season, but their realistic contention hopes in 2012. They were right to dangle Pence at a time Spud Webb Throwback Jersey when his trade value is at its peak and his production is getting them nowhere. Wade did the right thing, conceptually. Here's hoping the results are as strong as the reasoning.
