Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced today the signing of rookie
right-handed pitcher Alex De La Cruz to a contract for the 2014 season.
Custom Orlando Magic Jerseys . De La Cruz,
22, has played last two seasons in the Texas Rangers organization after being
signed as a free agent. The product of Puerto Rico went 2-0 with a 0.46 ERA in
10 appearances out of the bullpen for Class A Short Season Spokane of the
Northwest League last summer. He also had one save and a 5.0 strikeout-to-walk
ratio, as he fanned 20 batters and walked just four in 19 2/3 innings. “Hes a
young power arm,” Forney said. “His velocity is anywhere from 91-93 miles per
hour and has occasionally been seen at up to 95 miles per hour. With that
velocity and a good breaking ball, he has the ability to have some big time
success in our league.” In his first season in professional baseball, De La Cruz
was the closer for the Rangers Dominican League squad. He made 18 appearances
out of the bullpen, going 4-2 with a 1.93 ERA and nine saves. He also had an
astounding 14.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Goldeyes now have 21 players
signed for the 2014 season, including 10 pitchers and 11 position players.
Jason Williams Jersey . This is the final
meeting of the season between these teams.? The Capitals were 5-4 winners in a
shootout Oct.
D.J. Augustin Jersey . THE THUNDER &
PACERS BENCHES: In a nutshell, not impressive at all. CHICAGO -- Max Scherzer
wasnt at his best Wednesday. But it was more than enough to beat the White Sox.
Scherzer threw six scoreless innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Chicago
White Sox 5-1 to finish a two-game sweep. Scherzer (3-1) won his third straight
start, allowing four hits while striking out seven to become the first pitcher
in team history with at least seven strikeouts in each of his first six starts.
He also became the first in the majors to do it since Tim Lincecum began the
2010 season with at least six strikeouts in his first seven starts. But it was
the three walks and 105 pitches that gnawed at the reigning AL Cy Young Award
winner. "They fought me all the way through the whole at-bat," Scherzer said. "I
just thought I could have been a little more efficient so I could have pitched
deeper into the game." Scherzer beat the White Sox for the second straight time,
following up his April 24 win when he went six innings and allowed two runs in a
7-4 victory. He also helped Tigers win for the fourth time in five games, and
shut down the powerful White Sox offence for the second straight day. "Yeah, we
missed out on a couple of opportunities today and yesterday too, but those guys
are pretty good pitchers and have been for a while," White Sox catcher
Tyler Flowers said. "They do some good things in those situations and get the
job done. We just have to find a way to battle through on some of those and get
some runs across." On Tuesday, Justin Verlander and two relievers held the White
Sox to seven hits in a 4-3 Detroit win. Scherzer and the Tigers continued that
Wednesday against a team that started the day first in the American League in
runs and second in home runs and slugging, coming within one out of a shutout.
"Theres 29 other managers that would like to be able to do that," Detroits
Brad Ausmus said of starting Verlander and Scherzer on consecutive days.
Chicagos Robin Ventura is certainly one of those managers. As with Flowers, he
heaped praise on Scherzer. "Hes great, hes always tough. You get some guys on,
you get opportunities and thats when ggood pitchers really show their stuff.
Mario Hezonja Jersey. He did that today,"
Ventura said. "We at least got him a high pitch count and he couldnt get eight
or nine innings. But, hes just tough." The Tigers got all the runs they needed
in a four-run fourth, when Detroit scored four times against Hector Noesi (0-2).
Bryan Holaday capped the rally with a two-run double. Noesi, making a spot start
for Chicago, went 3 2-3 innings, allowing four runs and five hits. He breezed
through the first three innings, but ran into trouble in the fourth in his first
start of the season. "We dont know much about the guy, and I dont think he has
been extended that far so it may have been a combination of the hitters getting
a chance to see him a few times and also maybe because he hadnt been as deep
into a game this year," Ausmus said. "He could have been getting a little tired
as well." The White Sox challenged Scherzer as well, but left seven runners on
against the Tigers righty. "Im very cognizant of what theyre able to do and
always willing to give them credit," Scherzer said. "Today I thought they did a
good job of battling me but when push came to shove I thought I was better."
NOTES: The Tigers announced that left-hander Robbie Ray will make his
major-league debut Tuesday in Detroit against the Astros. Ray, 22, was acquired
this off-season from the Nationals as part of the trade that sent starter
Doug Fister to Washington, and will start in place of injured starter
Anibal Sanchez. Sanchez is on the disabled list with a laceration on his right
middle finger and threw from flat ground prior to Wednesdays game. . C
Alex Avila missed his second straight game with back spasms. . Robin Ventura
said LHP Chris Sale is "feeling better" but a rehab start is a possibility if
his recovery continues to be extended. Sale has been on the disabled list since
April 22 -- retroactive to April 18 -- with a flexor muscle strain in his left
arm. Ventura also said RHP Felipe Paulino (right rotator cuff inflammation) will
have a rehab assignment coming up "pretty soon."
