PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies kept their aces and added another starter. A person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday that right-hander Roberto Hernandez and Phillies agreed to a one-year contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an agreement has not been completed and the player must pass a physical. The 33-year-old Hernandez was formerly known as Fausto Carmona. He was arrested in January 2012 on charges of falsifying his identity that were later dropped. Major League Baseball suspended him for three weeks. Last year, he was 6-13 with a 4.89 ERA for Tampa Bay, and he is 59-82 with a 4.67 ERA over eight seasons overall, seven with the Cleveland Indians. Hernandez gives the Phillies depth on their staff. He is expected to compete for one of two spots in their rotation. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. made the move on the final day of baseballs winter meetings. The Phillies also selected right-hander Kevin Munson from Arizona in the Rule 5 draft. Among the top rumours earlier in the week were reports that Amaro was shopping Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels along with closer Jonathan Papelbon and All-Star outfielder Domonic Brown. Amaro and manager Ryne Sandberg shot down reports that Lee and Hamels were available. The Phillies are looking to rebound from their first losing season in 11 years and hope to make another post-season run. They signed veteran outfielder Marlon Byrd and re-signed catcher Carlos Ruiz. Both moves are indicative of a team thats trying to contend, not rebuild. Adding Hernandez also fits in that category. Hernandez has his best season with the Indians was in 2007 when he was 19-8 with a 3.06 ERA and finished fourth in AL Cy Young Award voting. He was 13-14 with a 3.77 ERA in 2010 and made the All-Star team. Lee, Hamels and Kyle Kendrick fill Philadelphias top three spots in the rotation. Hernandez, Cuban righty Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez and righties Ethan Martin and Jonathan Pettibone will compete for the final two. Genard Avery Jersey . Kripps, of Summerland, B.C., and Edmontons Barnett used a terrific second run to move up two spots, putting the Canadian duo in medal contention with the final two runs set for Monday (11:15 a.m. ET, streaming live at cbc. Joe Schobert Jersey . Compared to what hes gone through in recent weeks, that seemed like a breeze. Speaking to The Associated Press on Friday at an NBA Cares event, Silver said hes thrilled that the leagues attention can be on the championship series between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs -- and not, as it was for so much of the post-season, on the off-the-court matters involving the banishment of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and now the looming sale of that franchise. http://www.officialclevelandbrownsfootba...y-jersey-womens. -- Arizona coach Bruce Arians says there "were obviously very, very many problems" with the officiating in the Cardinals 24-21 loss at Philadelphia. Ricardo Louis Jersey . 5 Trade Deadline is drawing closer and teams will be deciding on whether to buy or sell while figuring out which players can make the biggest difference and hold the greatest value. Antonio Callaway Jersey . A quick first step to get to the hoop for a layup. A rousing dunk on the break off a high outlet pass saved by teammate Ramon Sessions.RENTON, Wash. - When Marshawn Lynch got to his feet following the longest touchdown run of his career, there was still one more defender to shrug off.Safety Earl Thomas went racing off the sideline to leap on Lynch and add to the Seattle Seahawks end-zone celebration.The Seahawks are the hottest team in the NFL with a five-game win streak and the chance at a second straight NFC West title and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. And Seattle (11-4) has rediscovered having fun while re-establishing itself as the favourite in the NFC.It was never more evident than Sunday nights 35-6 rout of Arizona. No moment was more telling than Lynchs 79-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter.I had as much fun last night as Ive had coaching. ... All of the stuff that was happening was just a blast, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said on his weekly radio show Monday morning.Five weeks ago, Seattle even making the post-season was in question, perhaps on the cusp of being the latest Super Bowl winner to watch the playoffs the following season at home. Now all Seattle needs is a win at home against St. Louis — and Detroit and Green Bay to avoid playing a tie — and the Seahawks will be the No. 1 seed.Last season, the Seahawks played at MetLife Stadium and shut out the New York Giants 23-0 in Week 15, then returned a month-and-a-half later to stymie Denver in the Super Bowl. Could a repeat be on the horizon with this years Super Bowl played on the Cardinals home field?I dont think that far, Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. I think we have a lot of challenges up before we think that far ahead, but I like our chances.The result Sunday night wasnt unexpected. For all Arizona has overcome this season with injuries and absences, the Cardinals were still starting a third-string quarterback against the No. 1 defence in the NFL.The surprise was the eruption of Seattles offence, setting a single-game franchise record for total yards with 596.ddddddddddddIt was the second-most yards by any team this season, trailing only the 639 posted by Pittsburgh in its win over Indianapolis.It came against an Arizona defence that had given Seattle fits in the past two matchups. The Seahawks had only 192 yards in their 17-10 loss to the Cardinals in Week 16 last season, and managed just 293 yards — while quarterback Russell Wilson was getting sacked seven times — in their 19-3 win a month ago.Wilson threw for 339 yards Sunday, a career high in the regular season. The Seahawks had six pass plays of 20 or more yards — including Luke Willsons 80-yard touchdown — to go along with Wilsons 55-yard run and Lynchs spectacular touchdown.Its the combination of all of this that has happened with Marshawn and Russell, the guys up front, Carroll said. This attitude that were playing with, it gives us a chance to really have high hopes going into the last game.The Seahawks rushed for 267 yards against the Cardinals and are averaging 175.3 per game. Its the second-highest per game average in the NFL in the past 30 seasons: Atlanta averaged 183.7 yards rushing in 2006.Wilson likely wont reach 1,000 yards rushing, needing 158 in the finale against the Rams. But he could become just the fourth quarterback to reach 900 yards rushing in a season.Were so lucky that hes playing for us, Carroll said.NOTES: Carroll sounded pessimistic about WR Jermaine Kearse (hamstring) being ready for Sundays regular-season finale. Kearse didnt feel his hamstring pop, Carroll said, but getting healthy in a week seemed unlikely. ... LT Russell Okung (bruised lung) is expected to practice later this week. Carroll was unsure if C Max Unger (ankle) would practice.___AP Sports Writer Bob Baum contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Barcelona Jerseys Cheap Real Madrid Jerseys Authentic Cheap Bayern Munich Jerseys Cheap Dortmund Jerseys Cheap USA Jerseys Cheap USWNT Jerseys France Soccer Jerseys Soccer Mexico Jerseys Cheap Germany Jerseys Cheap Belgium Soccer Jerseys Brazil Jerseys From China Germany Jerseys From China Authentic Soccer Mexico Jerseys Cheap Portugal Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Spain Jerseys Cheap France Football Jerseys Cheap Germany Jerseys Authentic Cheap Mexico Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Colombia Jerseys Cheap Belgium Football Jerseys Wholesale Argentina Jerseys Cheap USA Soccer Jerseys China cheap uswnt jersey authentic Authentic AC Milan Jerseys Discount Arsenal Jerseys Wholesale A.S.
