BOSTON -- New Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington made his first move since his promotion, picked up the contract option on shortstop Marco Scutaro on Sunday The Red Sox will pay US$6 million for Scutaro, who helped stabilize a position that seemed to be in perpetual flux since Nomar Garciaparra was traded away in the World Series championship season of 2004. Before Scutaro arrived, general manager Theo Epstein churned through seven regular shortstops in five seasons. But Epstein, who left this month to take over the Chicago Cubs, stabilized the position when he signed Scutaro as a free agent after the 2009 season. Scutaro got a two-year deal for $11 million with a mutual option for 2012; he had a $3 million players option with a $1.5 million buyout. The announcement came on Scutaros 36th birthday. Scutaro hit a career-best .299 last season, second-best among qualifying AL shortstops. He also had a career-best .423 slugging percentage. Scutaro spent most of his career as a utilityman for the New York Mets and Oakland Athletics before earning the starting job in Toronto in 2008. After two years with the Blue Jays, the Red Sox brought him in to stop the revolving door theyve had at the position since Garciaparra was traded midway through the 04 season. Orlando Cabrera was the shortstop on the World Series-winning team, but he was followed by Edgar Renteria, Alex Gonzalez, Julio Lugo and Gonzalez again; Jed Lowrie, Nick Green and Alex Cora were also in the mix. Lowrie, who has struggled to remain healthy, is eligible for arbitration. He played a career-high 88 games last year while also spending almost two months on the disabled list with a right shoulder injury. Cuban defector Jose Iglesias, 21, is being groomed as the shortstop of the future. Scutaros signing eliminates one of many question marks for the ballclub that posted the largest September collapse in baseball history. Leading the wild-card race by nine games on Sept. 3, they went 7-20 in the final month and were eliminated from the playoff race on the final night of the season. Designated hitter David Ortiz and closer Jonathan Papelbon became free agents on Sunday, as did left-hander Erik Bedard of Ottawa, outfielder J.D. Drew, right-hander Tim Wakefield and catcher Jason Varitek, among others. John Lackey will miss all of next season with Tommy John surgery. Josh Beckett and Jon Lester, who were part of a rotation that went 4-13 with a 7.08 ERA in September, have been dogged by reports that they were uncaring teammates, eating fried chicken and drinking beer in the clubhouse during games. nike free run saldi .

The fifth-seeded Flyers drew first blood in the best-of-seven series, taking Game 1 by a 4-3 score Sunday at the Wells Fargo Center. Danny Briere scored 4:36 into overtime to send the home crowd into a frenzy and stake Philadelphia to the 1-0 series lead. Brieres OT game-winner was his second marker of the game and his seventh of the playoffs, tying him with teammate Claude Giroux for the most in the NHL this postseason. "When I have the opportunity like I have this year, like Ive had the past few years in the playoffs, you try to make the best of it and enjoy it as much as possible," said Briere. Brieres game winner came moments after he had a goal disallowed because it was kicked in with his left skate. But there was no doubt about his next shot, a rifled blast from the point that made it through a James van Riemsdyk screen and past Martin Brodeur. All told, Briere has 10 points in this postseason and 106 points in 104 career playoff games. His next postseason goal will be the 50th of his career. "When he gets the puck on his stick, something is going to happen. Thats why hes so dangerous," said Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen, who had an assist. "Hes money in the playoffs." After a slow start, the Flyers peppered Martin Brodeur with 36 shots and took the early lead in the series despite allowing the Devils to tie the game twice in the last two periods. Giroux and Van Riemsdyk also scored and Ilya Bryzgalov made four of his 23 ssaves in OT for the Flyers, who were playing for the first time in a week after wrapping up their first-round win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games on April 22.dddddddddddd Zach Parise, Travis Zajac and Petr Sykora scored for the sixth-seeded Devils, with Sykoras goal tying the game 11:22 into the third period. Brodeur gave up all four goals, including the game-winner on Philadelphias seventh shot of the extra period. Devils forward Ilya Kovalchuk will not play tonight and is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury. The Devils, after beating Florida in double-overtime Thursday to win Game 7 of their quarterfinal series, will try to even this series tonight before hosting the next two contests in New Jersey. "We were able to erase a couple of leads and stayed in the game. I wish we could have kept that pace up that we had in the first period," said Parise. "We didnt really give them much room out there, but I thought we played a pretty solid game all around." The Flyers and Devils have met four times previously in the Stanley Cup playoffs and each team has claimed two series. New Jersey beat Philadelphia in the 1995 and 2000 conference finals, but the Flyers have won the last two series, having ousted the Devils in five games in the opening rounds of the 2004 and 2010 postseasons. Philadelphia barely won the 2011-12 season series against the Devils, posting a 3-2-1 record. Philadelphia was 22-13-6 as the host this season and is 3-1 at the Wells Fargo Center in the playoffs. The Devils were 24-15-2 as the guest in 2011-12 and are 2-3 on the road this postseason. Game 3 of this series is scheduled for Thursday at the Prudential Center in Newark. cheap nfl jerseys cheap soccer jerseys ' ' ' |
