Sports Illustrated (Rapaport) p. 19 Infielder Ehire Adrianza looking for elusive job security with Twins Phil Miller | Star Tribune | February 23, 2017 FORT MYERS, Fla. – People are constantly butchering his name, Ehire Adrianza says. It’s pronounced AY-ray, but more than one non-Spanish speaker has addressed him as EE-hire, like the job-recruiting website. Then again, maybe that version was appropriate. Because over the course of two uneasy weeks, the Venezuelan shortstop lost his job, found another, then lost it, too. Suddenly, he worried that the 27-year-old Ehire was going to need ehire. “It was getting so close to spring training, all the teams pretty much had wrapped up their camp rosters. I wouldn’t say it was scary, but I guess I was pretty anxious. That close to spring training, I want to know where I’ll be,” Adrianza said of being waived twice and claimed twice as January turned to February. “It was upsetting. It’s the first time it’s happened to me. But it worked out pretty well.” Adrianza had been in the Giants system for 12 seasons, since signing as a 16-year-old, and a big leaguer for parts of the past four. He helped the Giants get to the 2014 World Series, and watched from the dugout (because of a hamstring injury) as they won a championship. But last month, the Giants, having signed Jimmy Rollins for a utility role, took him off their roster. The Brewers claimed him on Jan. 31 — then waived him again two days later. “It was kind of weird. I talked to their general manager [David Stearns], and he told me, ‘Hey man, welcome to the team, glad to have you,’ all that kind of stuff,” Adrianza said. “Then two days later he called back and said, ‘We needed a first baseman [they claimed Jesus Aguilar from the Indians], so we took you off the roster. We’d love for you to stay, but it’s a business.’ ” He was nervous for a weekend, but then got some good news: The Twins, a little nervous themselves about their infield defense, had claimed him. Considering his offseason home is in Miami, a two-hour drive from Fort Myers, Adrianza was thrilled. Paul Molitor might be, too. The Twins manager has been blunt this winter about his desire to shore up Minnesota’s defense. Advanced statistics say Adrianza is not only the sharpest infield glove on the roster — albeit a bright orange-and-black one at the moment, his Giants-colors glove — but that it’s not even close. Ultimate Zone Rating, projected over 150 games, pegs Adrianza at the level of Francisco Lindor, Andrelton Simmons and Brandon Crawford — recognized as the slickest fielding shortstops in the game. His career average UZR/150 of 19.8 would make him the best infield glove man the Twins have had in more than a decade, if he played more games. And just three days into training camp, his coaches have already noticed. “He just shows you all the feel and balance and rhythm that you look for in a good shortstop. The way he moves is fluid and smooth. He’s one of those guys who always seems to get a good hop,” said Gene Glynn, who coaches the Twins infielders. “He’s got terrific range, and after the catch, he has a really good feel for momentum and changing direction to get the throw-out.” Added Molitor: “We’re only eight days in, but you nAotice him. One of the things I read when we got him [was that] he’s going to be the best defensive shortstop on the field when he’s out there. We’ll see about that, but it shows what people think of him.” Of course, there’s a reason such a strong defender is waived twice in a week. Adrianza isn’t nearly as adept with a bat in his hand, with a career .220 average and .292 on-base percentage in 331 career plate appearances. But the switch hitter batted .254 last season and .353 against lefthanded pitching, despite missing nearly four months with a broken foot — when he returned to health, former Twin Eduardo Nunez had claimed his job — and Molitor has seen signs that he’s improving as he ages. “I kind of like what I’ve seen [in] his approach and what he thinks about” at the plate, Molitor said. “A lot of polish there for a young man.” Adrianza has played all four infield positions for the Giants, so he will compete with Eduardo Escobar and perhaps Danny Santana for a utility role behind starting infielders Brian Dozier, Jorge Polanco and Miguel Sano. He focused on third base during winter ball a year ago, so he’s comfortable making long throws. He’s not so comfortable speculating about a role with the Twins, though. “I haven’t talked with the manager about my role. I just want to make the team first,” Adrianza said. “Nothing is guaranteed here, just because they picked me up. I learned that already this month.” Reusse: Twins shouldn't disregard Danny Santana at shortstop Patrick Reusse | Star Tribune | February 23, 2017 FORT MYERS, FLA. – The Twins have not had a shortstop with solid credentials to be a regular since J.J. Hardy was brought in for the 2010 season in a trade for Carlos Gomez. They also had a reliable utility infielder in Nick Punto for that season. That was needed, since Hardy was often injured and started 95 games in what was a division-winning, 94-victory debut season in Target Field. Bad things followed. Hardy went to Baltimore in a horrible trade, Punto left as a free agent, Tsuyoshi Nishioka arrived without major league skills, the victory total plummeted to 63 in 2011 and Bill Smith was fired as general manager. Six years later, there is a new baseball boss in Derek Falvey, Paul Molitor is entering his third season as manager and a revised Twins standard for on-field futility (59-103 in 2016) has been established. What hasn’t changed is that Hardy still is the shortstop in Baltimore, and the Twins still are looking for one with solid credentials. There was much hope early in this decade that they had an everyday shortstop on the way in Danny Santana. He was a 20-year-old switch hitter at Class A Beloit in 2011, and he had seven home runs, 41 RBI and 24 stolen bases. 2 Molitor was a roving instructor in the minor leagues at the time. Asked about the young Santana, the manager said: “I thought he had a really good chance to be a major league shortstop. You never assume that’s going to happen, but being around as much as I was … I thought eventually we were going to get a little more polish. “His body was so alive it almost worked against him — to smooth it out was challenging.” Santana’s status as a prospect increased in 2012 at Class A Fort Myers and 2013 at Class AA New Britain. Considering Pedro Florimon’s weak bat and Eduardo Escobar’s marginal fielding, Santana was probably the best all-around shortstop in spring training of 2014. General Manager Terry Ryan optioned Santana to the minors in mid-March, before he could get any serious lobbying on Santana’s behalf from manager Ron Gardenhire. Center fielder Aaron Hicks was injured and Santana was recalled on May 3. On May 25, Gardenhire started him for the second time in center field, and he basically stayed there. He was named the Twins Rookie of the Year and finished seventh for the American League award. That started what remains a question with Danny Santana, now 26 and coming off a terrible, injury-plagued season: Is he an outfielder or a shortstop? “The team thinks I am most valuable by playing a few positions,” Santana said this week.

  • The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club April 2021
    The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ April 2021 By Dave Badertscher After 18 long months without “live” Braves baseball in Atlanta, more than 14,000 masked, socially distanced fans turned out for Opening Night at Truist Park on Friday, April 9. When the gates opened the stadium began filling to 33% capacity, our eyes drawn to “44” etched in center field as “real” fans replaced the cardboard cutouts of 2020. We eagerly anticipated a much needed in-person baseball experience. It was high time for a rematch of the opening series in Philly, which had not gone well for our guys. Charlie Morton vs. Zack Wheeler rebooted. Braves fans were pumped! What would Opening Night at a Braves game be without evoking memories of the franchise’s 50+ years relationship with the city of Atlanta and the South? A moving pregame ceremony paid tribute to the passing of Bill Bartholomay, Phil Niekro, Don Sutton, and Hank Aaron, highlighting their legendary contributions to the team, the game of baseball, and our community. Fan Club member Wayne Coleman (pictured bottom right) played “Amazing Grace” on bagpipes. Timothy Miller sang the “National Anthem.” Jets flew over. Fans stood and cheered. Braves Country at its best. The Tomahawk Times April 2021 Page 2 The Phillies brought an impressive, early 5-1 record to town. The pitching duel between Morton and Wheeler held until Ronald Acuna launched a 456 foot, two-run blast and the Braves scored three in the bottom of the 5th. The red-hot Acuna ending up going 4 for 5 and made a sensational run-saving catch in the 6th.

    American Journalism, 26:2, 99-121 Copyright © 2009, American Journalism Historians Association A ‘Race’ for Equality: Print Media Coverage of the 1968 Olympic Protest by Tommie Smith and John Carlos By Jason Peterson During the Summer Olympics in 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos made history. Although they won the gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter dash, their athletic accom- plishments were overshadowed by their silent protest during the medal ceremony. Images of Smith and Carlos each holding up a single, closed, gloved fist have become iconic reminders of the Civil Rights movement. What met the two men after their protest was criticism from the press, primarily sportswriters. This article examines media coverage of the protest and its aftermath, and looks at how reporters dealt with Smith’s and Carlos’s political and racial statement within the context of the overall coverage of the Olympic Games. n the night of October 16, 1968, at the Olympic Games in Mexico City, U.S. sprinter Tommie Smith set a world record for the 200-meter dash by finishing O 1 in 19.8 seconds. The gold medal winner celebrated in a joyous embrace of fellow Olympian, college team- Jason Peterson is an mate, and good friend, John Carlos, who won instructor of journalism the bronze medal.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – Oct. 29, 2018 Rockies decline Parra's option for 2019 Do-Hyoung Park | MLB.com | Oct. 30th, 2018 The Rockies have declined a $12 million club option on outfielder Gerardo Parra for the 2019 season, exercising a $1.5 million buyout on Tuesday to make him a free agent. Parra appeared in 142 games in 2018 but started only 97 of them as a platoon outfielder, primarily in left field. He hit .284/.342/.372 in the final year of a three-year, $27.5 million contract inked prior to the 2016 season. The two-time National League Gold Glove Award winner lost playing time toward the end of the regular season when David Dahl returned from injury and Matt Holliday made his return to Colorado in August. The left-handed-hitting Parra, 31, struggled to live up to expectations in his first year with Colorado in 2016, hitting .253 with a .671 OPS, but he rebounded in '17 with career highs in average (.309) and RBIs (71). He spent the first five-plus seasons of his 10-year career with the D-backs before brief stints with Milwaukee and Baltimore prior to his arrival in Denver. Still, the Rockies will entertain the idea of agreeing to a less expensive deal with Parra, who showed value as a pinch- hitter this season by batting .393/.433/.536 with one homer, one double and two walks in 30 plate appearances. Franchise mainstay Carlos Gonzalez and Holliday are also free agents again for the Rockies. Colorado has two starting outfield positions locked up for 2019 between Dahl and three-time All-Star Charlie Blackmon, who in April was extended through the '21 season with player options for '22 and '23.
