MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers have signed Lyle Overbay to a minor league contract, making him the latest candidate for the teams first-base job. Milwaukee announced Monday that Overbay has an invitation to big league camp in spring training next month. The left-handed Overbay hit .240 with 14 homers and 59 RBIs in 142 games last year for the Yankees. He returns to Milwaukee, where he played two seasons starting in 2004. His 53 doubles that year are a single-season franchise record. Overbay joins Mark Reynolds and Juan Francisco as potential options at first for Milwaukee. Reynolds was signed to a minor league deal last week. First base was a problem after Corey Hart missed the 2013 season following right knee surgery. Hart signed a free-agent deal this off-season with Seattle. Air Max 90 Scontate .

Air Max 97 Scontate .com) - The Calgary Flames are spoilers once again.BOSTON – Colby Rasmus doesnt stand to benefit from Melky Cabreras fractured right pinky finger, a season-ending injury suffered in Friday nights loss to the Red Sox. Kevin Pillar took Cabreras spot in Saturdays lineup, playing left field and hitting seventh. Anthony Gose was in centre field, batting ninth. “Thats the plan. We want to see what these guys are,” said manager John Gibbons. “Im not saying this is the way its going to be, but there could be a scenario next year where thats your left and centre fielders. Who knows what happens in the offseason? Im not foretelling anything.” Rasmus isnt in the teams plans. Thats not foretelling. Its fact. “Colbys still going to play,” said Gibbons. “Well come up against some guys he matches up well with and hell definitely get some playing time. The whole idea was we need to find out about these guys. Its not like they came out of nowhere. These guys have been pretty good for us. Theyve helped us win a lot of games this year when weve been really strong.” Whats more complicated, impossible at this point, is to predict whether Cabreras tenure in Toronto will extend to a second contract. Cabrera, in brief and laboured English, offered, “I stay in Toronto” in a post-game media scrum on Friday night. Dont take that for a guarantee. There is a lost in translation factor to that quote. Cabrera will go where the term and money are highest. The Blue Jays, at least, should qualify Cabrera. Itd cost the club about $15-million on a one-year term if Cabrera were to accept. If he doesnt, the Jays get a compensatory first-round draft pick. The club could also try to work out a multi-year deal with Cabrera. Anything more than two or three years carries risk with a player whos had a performance eenhancing drug suspension and a benign tumour removed from his back within the last 24 months.dddddddddddd Cabreras season ends with 139 games played and a slash line of .301/.351/.458 (.808 OPS). Cabreras 171 led the team at the time of his injury; his 16 home runs were the second-highest total of his career (18 with Kansas City in 2011). NORRIS vs. BIG PAPI Players remember their major league debuts. Daniel Norris is no different - in fact, his may be more memorable than most. The 21-year-old left-hander came in to Friday nights game in the seventh inning. With his Blue Jays up 4-3, the Red Sox had a runner on second base and two outs for David Ortiz. “I know this sounds weird, but for a minute I kind of had to put my debut aside because there was a runner on second in the seventh inning of a 4-3 game and I was like I cant let this guy score,” said Norris. “I was definitely mindful of this is my first appearance, this is pretty crazy, but at the same time it was like, equally, I wanted to get out of that inning for the guys.” Norris did get out of the inning. He buckled Ortizs knees with a first pitch curveball, a called strike. After falling behind 3-1, Norris threw a fastball for a foul ball and then, on the full count, froze Ortiz with another curveball. “First 3-2 curveball Ive thrown all year, but I wasnt about to shake (Dioner Navarro) off,” said Norris. Norris becomes the second Blue Jays left-hander to make his big league debut against Ortiz this season. Rob Rasmussen did the same in May. He retired Ortiz on a ground ball. “For the previous three days, I had been envisioning facing him,” said Norris. “Its kind of weird that it ended up that way but I knew there was a possibility Id have to face him.” ' ' '
