BOSTON - Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez spent the last two seasons as NL West rivals. Blank Spain Jersey . Now theyre teammates in Boston, the result of a $183 million spending spree the Red Sox are hoping will lift them out of the AL East cellar.Its exciting for me to be with Hanley and David Ortiz, Sandoval said Tuesday at Fenway Park after finishing up a five-year, $95 million contract that adds him to a lineup he called The Three Amigos.About five hours later, the Red Sox completed their day-night news conference doubleheader by announcing Ramirezs four-year deal, which is worth $88 million. A former Red Sox prospect, Ramirez was traded to the Marlins nine Thanksgivings ago in a deal that brought Mike Lowell and Josh Beckett to Boston.Why not go back where you belong? Ramirez said. It worked out for the both of us: You guys won a couple of world championships. I havent won any, but thats what Im here for.Sandoval helped the Giants win three titles, earning the World Series MVP in 2012 and the nickname Kung Fu Panda that helped cement him as a fan favourite. He thanked the Giants for bringing him up as a big leaguer and Giants fans for their support.I want a new challenge. I need a new challenge, he said at his afternoon news conference. I know that I had a great career in San Francisco. But Im going to have a new one here.Sandoval helps fill a hole in the Red Sox lineup for a third baseman and a left-handed bat. Ramirez, who played shortstop and a little third base with the Marlins and Los Angeles Dodgers, is expected to move to left field.Youre always trying to get a sense of where they might fit in, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. Were not even at Thanksgiving yet. The potential for some other additions might exist.Sandovals deal includes a team option for 2020 and Ramirezs contract has a vesting option for 2019.A 28-year-old Venezuelan listed at 5-foot-11 and 248 pounds, Sandoval was seen as a potential replacement at designated hitter when Ortiz retires. But Sandoval said he plans to manage his weight so he can remain in the field.Both players praised Ortiz, and Ramirez also said Dustin Pedroia helped recruit him to Boston.He said, Ive got two rings. You dont have any. I want some more, Ramirez said. That kind of thing pumps you up.Sandoval said Ortiz gave him advice when he was in the minor leagues that he has carried with him. Having a chance to play with Ortiz, who was the Series MVP in 2013, was a factor that attracted him to Boston.To be Papis teammate — 162 games, all that with him — for me, its going to be a very exciting time, said Sandoval, who had dinner with Ramirez on Monday night. Ramirez agreed, saying Ortiz was like a big brother to me.Sandoval is a career .294 hitter who had 16 homers and 73 RBIs in the regular season this year and then hit .366 in the post-season while helping the Giants win their third World Series in five years.He really embodies a lot of what we care about, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. Hes been a big winner. Hes been a performer when it counts the most. Hes respected as a teammate, loves to play. We think he fits what were all about here. Were excited to have him.A 30-year-old infielder who has never played the outfield in 1,634 professional games, Ramirez batted .300 with 13 homers and 71 RBIs for Los Angeles this year. Cherington, who watched Ramirez learn to play shortstop in the minors, said he is confident Ramirez can take on a new position.For now, the Red Sox are overloaded with outfielders and short on pitchers, having acquired Allen Craig and Yoenis Cespedes at the July trade deadline while shipping off four-fifths of the rotation.Weve got a ways to go in the off-season, Farrell said.To clear the roster spots, the Red Sox designated first baseman-catcher Ryan Lavarnway and infielder Juan Francisco for assignment. Toni Kroos Germany Jersey . "You dont win by running, you win by hitting," Alvarez said. "You dont win a fight like that." Lara thought he had done just that, but when the decision came down it was Alvarez whose hand was held aloft. Juan Agudelo Jersey .Benfica leads Porto by six points before it visits Pacos Ferreira on Monday.Bruno Gallo scored what proved to be Maritimos winner with a left-footed volley in the 32nd minute.Sooner or later, you just know Graham DeLaet is going to get a few breaks, make one or two extra putts and have a week where he finally gets his win. Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The pride of Weyburn, Sask., ended up a shot back of Kevin Stadler as the Smallrus managed to break through for his first victory.  It should be noted that it took Stadler 239 starts to get his first victory, so theres never a sure thing in this game. As well as DeLaets playing, he may never win a tournament. Or he might win in his next start. Thats the way golf is - no matter how well you play, theres a chance someone else might be just one stroke better.  DeLaets finish in Phoenix - where he and wife Ruby recently relocated - earned him $545,600, moving him to ninth on the PGA Tours money list with $1.3 million. Hes now ranked 26th on the Official World Golf Ranking. Hes also finished in the Top 10 in his last five starts.  The bearded wonder climbed into contention on Saturday with a strong 65. On Sunday, he came out to the range and promptly tweaked his back on the first shot of his warm-up. Some special treatment from trainer Dr. Craig Davies of Toronto allowed him to tee it up at the appropriate time. "We did a little extra work this morning," DeLaet said. "My routine before the round was a little bit diffferent, but I took some Advil that kicked in a little bit, and I was feeling pretty good for most of the day. Mikel San Jose Spain Jersey. quot; That became obvious early on as he went out and made birdies on five of his first 13 holes. As others on the leaderboard began to struggle, DeLaet suddenly was in contention – until he hit the 15th, where he drove his tee shot into the water on the left side of the hole. "I knew Id just have to make a lot of birdies," he stated. "After my tee shot on 15 I thought my chances were probably gone." But birdies on 17 and 18 put him in the clubhouse with the lead.  "I knew that I needed probably to birdie the last two," said DeLaet. "That back pin on 17 is really, really tough, and I hit what I thought was a pretty good shot there, but I still had 12, 15 feet. To birdie the last, I knew that I had - was trying to hole it, but, you know, birdie is second best." That late run, by the way, was buoyed by the energy from the crowd, which DeLaet made sure to thank.  "Obviously there are tons of people there," he stated. "There are so many Canadians out here following me. Almost felt like a Canadian Open today. Thanks to all of them for being out there." DeLaet will take this week off before heading to Los Angeles for the Northern Trust Open where hell continue his torrid pace to the 2013-14 season.  wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
