I can remember Alex Anthopoulos saying that he had trouble sleeping at the time he signed Jose Bautista to his current contract. cheap jerseys . Alex loved Jose as a player, but was concerned about giving so much long-term money to a player who had burst into stardom in his late 20s in such an unprecedented fashion. Now, that five-year deal, plus an option year, that will pay Jose $14 million over each of the next three seasons looks like an incredible bargain. Consider the deal Josh Hamilton is getting from the Angels. Though L.A. hasnt confirmed all the details yet, Hamilton is committed for five years and $125 million. Thats an average of $25 million per season. If I was building a team, Id be hard pressed to choose between the two. But I think I would lean towards Bautista. He is a leader who plays the game the right way. He also is also Gold Glove-worthy in right field, and is just about as good at third base, whenever hes been pressed into duty there. Yes, he has been hampered by injuries the last two seasons and he did slump badly at the beginning of 2012. Still, hes one of the power hitting stars in this game. Hamilton is one of the most dynamic players in the game. But he too is not without faults. He doesnt have the defensive versatility of Bautista and has been prone to wild swings, from incredible productivity to baffling slumps. To his credit he has fought the good fight against his personal demons and already has an MVP award in his trophy case. There are no glaring differences in their career stats, outside of batting average where Hamilton is a .304 hitter and Bautista .253. Their on-base percentages are almost identical at .363 for Hamilton and .362 for Bautista. Hamiltons slugging percentage and OPS are higher but not by an extraordinary amount. Bautista is 32 years old, while Hamilton will be 32 in May. Im not suggesting the Blue Jays tear up Bautistas contract and give him one to match Hamiltons, especially not this year when Jose is coming off a significant wrist injury. That wouldnt make any sense, at least in the short term. But if Jose bounces back and has a banner year, a renegotiation could be in order for 2014 and beyond. Its not like the Blue Jays havent done it before. In 1985, the Jays signed Dave Stieb to a 10-year contract that was due to pay him $2.1 million in the final year of 1995. In time it became clear that Stieb, the second-winningest pitcher in the 80s next to Jack Morris, was significantly underpaid compared to his peers. The Blue Jays realized this and did boost his stipend for the final three years of the deal. So it can be done and it should be done, if Bautista has a big year in 2013 and the Blue Jays make it back to the post-season. The Angels are a better team for having Josh Hamilton, and they have hurt their biggest rivals - the Rangers - by spiriting him away. However this signing alone wont push the Angels over the top. They still have pitching questions. Since the end of the season theyve lost Zack Greinke, Ervin Santana and Dan Haren. The Halos have replaced that trio, with Tommy Hanson and Joe Blanton. So you cant argue that their rotation is any better than the one that left them in third place last season. Not only that, their big bullpen pick-up Ryan "Mad Dog" Madson is coming off Tommy John surgery. At this point it would be ridiculous to just hand the AL West title to the Angels. The biggest question of the off-season remains: What, if any, significant moves are the Yankees going to make? Wholesale Jerseys US . But it got the job done, and thats the only thing that mattered to Mike Dunleavy and the Chicago Bulls. cheap jerseys . Still to be determined is whether the few Indian athletes who have qualified for Sochi compete for their country or under the Olympic flag. The International Olympic Committee gave a reprieve to Indias suspended national Olympic body on Tuesday after a long impasse that had threatened to lead to the expulsion of the worlds second most populous nation. http://www.worldcupjerseys.us.com/ . - Blake Griffin had his knees wrapped and his feet dunked in a bucket of ice. nfl jerseys china . -- The Oakland Raiders lost both of their starting running backs to injuries in the first half against the Washington Redskins. cheap jerseys . Calgary recently posted an 0-2-2 mark on a winless four-game homestand. The Flames, who are just 12-14-7 as the guest this year, will visit Anaheim tomorrow to complete a brief two-game road trip.MOSCOW -- Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje are second after the short dance at the Rostelecom Cup figure skating Grand Prix, while Canadian teammates Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch are third in pairs. Weaver and Poje, from Waterloo, Ont., scored 61.50 points for their performance to "42nd Street," but said theyd left some marks on the table. "After we completed our program we were happy," Weaver said. "It was clean and it felt comfortable. When the score came up though we were a bit confused. But it means we have to go back and make the program even more bullet-proof." Poje said the couple will take a close took at all the programs technical elements. "We missed some technical points and we need to refine those," he said. "But we improved overall and really captured the essence of the program." Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev of Russia lead after the short dance with 68.42, while Ekaterina Riazanova and Ilian Tkachenko of Russia are third. Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier of Toronto are sixth. Moore-Towers, from St. Catharines, Ont., and Moscovitch, from Toronto, scored 65.65, and completed a triple twist and throw triple loop, but Moscovitch fell on a triple toe. Moscovitch took his fall in stride, saying, "I was working on some yoga positions on the landing." "I dont think we missed a jump all week in training," he added. "But we picked ourselves up and a had strong finish to the program. Weve got some ground to make up in the long and thats going to be our next challenge." Germans Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy lead with 73.25, while Vera Bazarova and Yuri Larionov of Russia are second. Maxim Kovtuns two confident quads, meanwhile, gave him a big lead after the mens short program. As the only competitor to try two quads, much less complete them, Kovtun ended the day nearly nine points ahead of Japans Tatsuki Machida, who opened with a clean quad but then stepped out of the triple toe loop that was the second jump in his combination. Javier Fernandez of Spain was in third despite falling on his quad. In the womens short program, Russian Julia Lipnitskaia was in the lead, followed by Carolina Kostner of Italy, thhe 2012 world champion. Cheap NFL Jerseys . American teammates Agnes Zawadzki and Mirai Nagasu were one-hundredth of a point apart at third and fourth, though well behind the two leaders. Kovtun is gunning for the sole Russian mens slot in Sochi, which Turin Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko also wants. Plushenko was to have been part of the Rostelecom field, but withdrew from what would have been his first top-tier competition since back surgery this spring. Plushenko blamed his withdrawal on a knee injury. "I was interested in trying my strength against such a fantastic skater," Kovtun said. "But I hope I will have another chance at Russian nationals." Kovtun was strong throughout his flamenco-themed program, the only notable flaw being he was almost sitting on the landing of his second quad to keep his balance. Machida, who won gold at Skate America, lamented that he was not in good condition in Moscow, but said its not clear whats troubling him. "Actually, I dont know," he said when asked about the specifics. Fernandez, the European champion and world bronze medallist , expressed satisfaction despite his fall. "I think I just had a little problem in the pattern and I just need to keep my mind clear," he said. All four of the top women did triple-triple combinations. But Lipnitskaia landed a more difficult triple Lutz-triple toe combo while Kostner, Zawadzki and Nagasu all did triple toe-triple toes. Lipnitskaia, who won gold at Skate Canada, will qualify for the Grand Prix final with a medal of any shade in Moscow. Kostner would qualify with a gold, but Zawadzki, after a seventh-place finish in the Cup of China, is out of contention. The top six skaters in each discipline qualify for the final, which is Dec. 5-8 in Fukuoka, Japan. Lipnitskaias program began on a mysterious note, with her crouched down and drawing figures with her finger on the ice. Asked what thats all about, she chose to keep the meaning hidden. "Everyone can see what he wants to," she said. But once she rose from the crouch, the 2012 junior world champions program was crystal-clear: a clean triple-triple, a precisely landed double Axel and a very fast combination spin at the end. ' ' '
