  • Why Did Cleveland Indians Sign Mike Napoli Instead of Pedro Alvarez?
    Why did Cleveland Indians sign Mike Napoli instead of Pedro Alvarez? Hey, Hoynsie Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here or Tweet him at @hoynsie. Hey, Hoynsie: Why did the Indians sign Mike Napoli, 34, for one year to play first base when Pedro Alvarez, 27, was available? Did management know Alvarez hit 27 home runs last season? -- Jimmy Garst, Roanoke, Va. Hey, Jimmy: The Indians did show interest in Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates and became a free agent. I think a couple of things probably came into play: No. 1, Alvarez was more expensive than the $7 million deal the Indians agreed to with Napoli. No. 2, the Indians felt Napoli helped them two ways – he gave their offense needed pop from the right side of the plate and he improved their defense. Napoli – whose deal should soon be made official – allows the Indians to move Carlos Santana to DH while he will get most of the time at first base. There is no doubt about Alvarez's power, but he made 23 errors at first base last season. I think the Indians preferred Napoli, considering the cost, at first and Santana at DH instead of Santana at first and Alvarez at DH. Hey, Hoynsie: The Reds seem interested in moving outfielder Jay Bruce. Is the Tribe done with its outfield or would it be interested in a guy who is as streaky hitter as there is, but definitely has pop? – Carl Neifer, Cincinnati.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – July 4, 2018 Blackmon jump-starts Rox offense in win vs. SF Center fielder homers in first, sets tone for 5th win in 6 games Thomas Harding | MLB.com | July 4, 2018 DENVER -- Rockies center fielder Charlie Blackmon spent nearly a month searching for the swing and pitch recognition that made him the National League batting champion last year. He felt close, but not quite there, and settled for a jam- shot single here, a move-the-runner fly ball there. On Tuesday night, he joined what looks like a Rockies breakout. Blackmon whacked a first-inning home run -- his first in 42 at-bats -- to straightaway center field and added two more hits in his team's fifth victory in six games, an 8-1 win over the Giants at Coors Field. "It's really good to continue to try and win games, play team baseball, even if you're not feeling real awesome at the plate or on the mound," said Blackmon, who has 15 homers -- nine of which occurred during a hot April -- and a .275 batting average. The victory -- which also included Antonio Senzatela's seven scoreless, three-hit innings in his first start of the season and Nolan Arenado's National League-leading 22nd homer -- put the Rockies back at .500 (43-43). Could it also have signaled Blackmon's return to major contributor status? "I've felt pretty good the past couple of days," Blackmon said. 1 From June 6 to Monday's 5-2 victory over the Giants, Blackmon hit .216 (22-for-102) with two homers -- a struggle that was nonexistent when he hit .331 with 37 homers in 2017.

  • Not Just a Job — a Purpose Remember the Victims 2,500 at Service for Charleston 9 by BRUCE SMITH the Associated Press
    IN SPORTS: Singles semis, doubles final set for today at Palmetto Pro Open B1 INSIDE Middle school girls get into tech with STEM camp A2 SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 2016 | Serving South Carolina since October 15, 1894 75 cents Mourners Not just a job — a purpose remember the victims 2,500 at service for Charleston 9 BY BRUCE SMITH The Associated Press CHARLESTON — South Carolina’s governor somberly held up programs from the fu- nerals of the victims of the Charleston church shootings, saying Friday during a memo- rial service that the faith of those victims showed how to heal in the aftermath of still another mass shooting. “As for me, I will forever know that there are angels on Earth,” said Gov. Nikki Haley during a three-hour service that was alternately somber and then punctu- ated by joyous singing. Friday was the anniversary of the shooting deaths of nine black parishio- HALEY ners during a Bible study at Emanuel AME Church. A white man, Dylann Roof, faces charges in both state and fed- eral courts and prosecutors in each are seeking the death penalty. Haley, who attended the fu- nerals of all the victims, said she got to know the families of both those who were killed and the three survivors in the days and weeks after the shootings. “There hasn’t been a day since June 17, 2015 that I haven’t thought about the 12,” RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM she said. Shirley Baker, left, who retired from the Sumter Senior Center after 40 years, reacts emotionally to the discovery that the building she has She recalled each victim, worked in has been renamed after her.

    MEDIA CLIPS – February 3, 2017 Young arms among Rockies' camp invites Veteran batters Denorfia, Reynolds also on non-roster list By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | @harding_at_mlb | February 2nd, 2017 DENVER -- Two fast-rising pitching prospects, right-hander Ryan Castellani and lefty Sam Howard, will make their first appearances in Major League camp this spring for the Rockies, who announced their non-roster invitees on Thursday. The group includes veterans Chris Denorfia, a right-handed-hitting outfielder, andMark Reynolds, who was the Rockies' primary first baseman last year. In all, the Rockies invited 22 players, including nine pitchers, to bring the total number to 62. Pitchers and catchers will have their first workout on Feb. 14, and the initial full-squad workout is Feb. 20. Castellani, who turns 21 on April 1, is a 2014 second-round pick out of Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix. He went 7- 8 with a 3.81 ERA and 142 strikeouts in 167 2/3 innings last season at Class A Advanced Modesto against older competition in the California League. Howard, who turns 24 on March 5, was drafted a round after Castellani out of Georgia Southern. Howard went 9-9 with a 3.35 ERA, and fanned 140 in 156 innings. In the latest ranking of top 30 Rockies prospects by MLBPipeline.com, Castellani was No. 12 and Howard was 20th. While non-roster invitations give the Rockies a chance to look at highly touted prospects before the Minor League season, this group also includes players who could help the big squad beginning on Opening Day -- especially pitchers.
