SEATTLE -- Jack Zduriencik does not see the Seattle Mariners making another splash signing before the start of spring training

SEATTLE -- Jack Zduriencik does not see the Seattle Mariners making another splash signing before the start of spring training after an off-season of big moves highlighted by the signing of second baseman Robinson Cano. wholesale jerseys china . What he would like to acquire is another veteran pitcher to add to a starting rotation that has a pair of aces at the top and then a handful of promising prospects behind them without much major league experience. "I dont suspect well make a major move but we hopefully will do a couple of things that will be tweaks that help the club certainly for this year," Zduriencik said Thursday. How the rotation gets filled out will be one of the major questions when Seattle reports for spring training in the middle of February. Pitchers and catchers will be on the field Feb. 13 and the first full squad workout is Feb. 18. Seattle has the top of its rotation settled with former AL Cy Young winner Felix Hernandez and Hisashi Iwkuama forming a formidable combo. But the bridge between that pair and some of the youngsters Seattle would like to see take the final spots in the rotation is the question. Asked if he was comfortable with how his rotation sits, Zduriencik said, "not tremendously." "I think there is certainly potential there. There are some things that have to come together. When youre placing a lot of faith and trust in young kids that have very short windows of success, thats risky," Zduriencik said. "I will say that theyre talented but how quickly they become legitimate major leaguers, is yet to be seen. There may be opportunities for us in the next period of time, few days or so, maybe well be able to add something to it." Manager Lloyd McClendon said he would be disappointed if top prospect Taijuan Walker didnt make the rotation out of spring training, but hes expected to contend with James Paxton, Erasmo Ramirez and Brandon Maurer for one of those final spots. There is not a higher-regarded prospect in the Mariners system than Walker. He was described by Zduriencik as the best athlete in the entire organization and he called his brief call-up at the end of last season "short and impressive." Walker made three starts for Seattle last season, going 1-0 with a 3.40 ERA. He struck out 12 batters in 15 innings pitched in his major league debut. "Hes young, hes talented, hes got a ton of ability. He has to acclimate himself to being a big league starting pitcher," Zduriencik said. "How quickly that comes, I dont know. Everybody is different." Aside from the rotation, Seattle also has significant questions about how its outfield will shake out, specifically centre field. The Mariners are hopeful that newly acquired outfielders Logan Morrison and Corey Hart are healthy enough to be regulars at the corner outfield spots. That leaves centre field jumbled with Dustin Ackley, Michael Saunders and Franklin Gutierrez as options. "As we roll into spring training its all up to them," Zduriencik said. "I cant tell you who the centre fielder is going to be. I can tell you who the candidates are. I cant tell you who the left fielder is going to be. I can tell you who the candidates are. ... If were going to be a really good ball club, lets see what happens in spring training. Its up to them." fake jerseys china . Nothing pretty. But this is 1/4 World Cup.

The Czech player was a finalist here two years ago and captured back-to-back doubles titles in 2012 and last year.NEWARK, N.J. - If the New Jersey Devils are going to make a run at the playoffs, they are going to have to win games in which they dont play well.That is just what they did against the reeling Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night.Jacob Josefson and Patrik Elias scored in the shootout, Cory Schneider made 29 saves through overtime, and the Devils rallied late to beat Toronto 2-1, extending the Maple Leafs losing streak to a season-high seven games.Any win is a good win for us at this point, Elias said. It wasnt an easy game coming of the (All-Star) break. We just didnt have it going. Schneids kept us in there for the first two, and we found a way to tie it up after they scored.Thats the kind of play the Devils are going to need to make up a 13-point deficit in the Eastern Conference wild-card race. They are 5-2-1 in their last eight games, and this win came with an unexpected seeing-eye goal from defenceman Adam Larsson with 2:50 left in regulation off a nice pass by Martin Havlat.I didnt see it, said Maple Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier, who made 22 saves. It was a good shot. Those are the ones you have to (stop).Larsson smiled sheepishly when asked if he was shooting for the corner of the net on his second goal of the season and fifth of his career.I was just trying to get the shot past the first layer of players, he said.The goal wiped out the advantage Toronto had built minutes earlier on James van Riemsdyks breakaway tally.The shootout win was the Devils third in nine this season.Bernier made a pad save on Scott Gomez on the Devils first shootout attempt, but Josefson and Elias beat him with backhanders on the next two tries.Mike Santorelli missed the net on Torontos first attempt, and Schneider stopped Tyler Bozak on the second.We had plenty of chances, Toronto interim coach Peter Horachek said. We didnt capitalize on our opportunities.Until the unlikely goal by Larsson, it appeared that van Riemsdyks goal with 8:11 left in regulation would be the winner. cheap jerseys from china.

The first was a skate save against the goal post after the forward backhanded a shot between his legs in the opening period. The second was a glove save from point-blank range late in the second period after Bozak made a no-look pass.Schneider was at his best in the second period, stopping a breakaway by Santorelli midway through the period. He then got lucky about a minute later when Leo Komarov banged a shot off the post from the left circle.This is a game earlier in the year we would not have won, Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello, who is guiding the team along with assistant coach Adam Oates and Scott Stevens since the firing of Pete DeBoer.Bernier faced only 13 shots in the first two periods. His best save was a pad stop on Havlats shot from just inside the right circle during a power play.NOTES: The Devils began a five-game homestand. ...
