  导出博客文章Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson?accepted the Philadelphia Phillies $17. Cheap Air Jordans Authentic .2 million qualifying offer on Monday.Hellickson was one of 10 players to receive qualifying offers from their teams. Monday was the deadline for players to either accept or reject the offers.New York Mets second baseman Neil Walker was the only other player to accept the qualifying offer.Eight other free agents did not accept the offers from their former teams by Mondays 5 p.m. ET deadline: outfielders Jose Bautista (Blue Jays), Yoenis Cespedes (Mets), Ian Desmond (Rangers), Dexter Fowler (Chicago Cubs) and Mark Trumbo (Orioles), designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (Blue Jays); closer Kenley Jansen (Los Angeles Dodgers); and third baseman Justin Turner (Dodgers).Hellickson said at the end of this season that, although he had hoped to sign a multiyear contract this offseason, hed love to be back next year with the Phillies.Its not the stability I wanted, but its a lot of money for one year, Hellickson told The News Journal in a telephone interview. I believe in myself to go out there and have another good year, even a better year and put myself in position to get the stability in the next offseason.He told the newspaper that he received interest from several teams, but those clubs were reluctant to part with a first-round draft pick to sign him. Aside from teams picking in the first 10 slots of the draft, teams forfeit a first-round pick if they sign a player who has received a qualifying offer. Teams in the top 10 forfeit their second-highest pick.Hellickson said he considered rejecting the qualifying offer, but changed his mind because of the draft pick restrictions associated with signing him.Ive been playing six years to get to this point and its just unfortunate that free agents like myself have this first-round pick attached to us, Hellickson told The News Journal. It sucks.The guys that are free agents this year, its tough for me to not laugh at people who say this is a weak free-agent market, he continued. Its tough with the uncertainty of the market right now to turn down that much money for one year, especially for a team I enjoyed playing for and a city I love playing for.Hellickson, 29, was 12-10 with a 3.71 ERA last season. He tied career highs with 32 starts and 189 innings pitched and struck out a career-best 154 batters, while walking just 45.His 12 victories were the most by a Phillies pitcher last season.The Phillies acquired Hellickson in a 2015 trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Cheap Air Jordan Australia . Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. Buy Air Jordans Australia . The injury bothered Bledsoe in the Suns victory over the Clippers on Monday and he sat out the teams home loss to Memphis on Thursday night. http://www.cheapaustraliaairjordan.com/ . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable.Having concluded their one-day encounters on Monday, New Zealand and Australia will renew rivalries in the Test arena on Friday, in the first game of a two-Test series. The Black Caps will be aiming to add the Trans-Tasman Trophy - a crown they have been unable to claim since losing to the Baggy Greens in 1993-94 - to the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy they retained by beating their rivals 2-1 in the one-day series.Australia have dominated their recent five-day tussles with the Kiwis, winning 18 and losing just one of the sides previous 26 meetings either home or away.To see if New Zealand can end that hoodoo is reason enough to watch the series live on Sky Sports, but when you chuck in the fact that some of the finest batsmen on the planet will be in action - one of them for the final time - then youd be mad not to tune in…Reason #1 - Three of the top-five ranked batsman are on showAustralia captain Steve Smith is at the summit of the Test standings, his rating of 899 placing him 10 points ahead of Englands Joe Root and the man he will meet in this series, New Zealands unflappable No3 - and probable captain -elect, Kane Williamson. Smiths vice-captain, David Warner, meanwhile, is two spots further back, marginally in arrears of South Africas Hashim Amla. Kane Williamson has stroked 13 hundreds in 46 Tests Smiths stats over the last two years have been sensational, the right-hander averaging more than 81 in nine Tests in 2014 and over 73 in 13 Tests in 2015, with 11 hundreds added into the mix in that time. Williamson racked up 1,172 runs in just eight games in 2015 at an average in excess of 90, while Warner plundered three successive centuries in the reverse series with the Black Caps earlier this winter, taking his career average versus New Zealand to a ludicrous 93.12 from five games.Reason #2 - McCullums last standArguably one the modern games most destructive batsman as well as its most innovative and effective captain, McCullum will quit the international scene after the second Test against Australia, his 101st in a white flannel. Plenty of the 34-year-olds pyrotechnics have come in the limited-over formats - who can forget the way he marmalised Englands attack, Steve Finn, in particular, with 77 from 25 balls in the 2015 World Cup? - but his swashbuckling style has also been evident in Tests. Nasser Hussain and Nick Knight discuss the impact Brendon McCullum has had on the international game as he prepares for retirement McCulllum has played a number of bruising knocks, including 202 from just 188 balls against Pakistan in Sharjah and a staggering 195 from 134 against Sri Lanka in Christchurch, both of those efforts containing a whopping 11 sixes. Discount Air Jordans For Sale. New Zealand have also prospered under his leadership, playing a breathtaking brand of cricket that England, for one, seem to have followed, with the Black Caps now unbeaten at home since they were pipped by South Africa in 2011-12. McCullum shall be missed.Reason #3 - Youll see how strong Australias pace reserves areMitchell Johnson is swinging to the left and right no longer in international cricket having retired partway through the home clash with New Zealand, while Mitchell Starc - who bowled close to 100 miles per hour against the Black Caps in Perth in November, as well as taking 13 wickets across the series - is another absentee as he recovers from ankle surgery. Australia seamer Chadd Sayers could win his first cap against New Zealand Uncapped Chadd Sayers, a 28-year-old right-armer with 148 first-class scalps in 39 matches and a best of 6-34, has been drafted in to the squad, alongside Jackson Bird and James Pattinson, two players just as familiar with the inside of the treatment room as the cricket pitch following sustained injury sabbaticals. Talented they may be but Australia will probably need the dogged and metronomic Josh Hazlewood and Peter Siddle to do the grunt work.Reason #4 - The last series was brilliantThe three-Test series on Australian soil a few months back produced some scintillating cricket. Warner biffed centuries in each innings of the opener in Brisbane - becoming only the third batsman to do that on three occasions in a Test, after Sunil Gavaskar and countryman Ricky Ponting - while Joe Burns and the in-form Usman Khawaja nailed maiden Test tons for Australia as the hosts secured a comfortable 208-run triumph, despite Williamson plundering 140. Adelaide Oval heled the first day-night Test in November Game two at the WACA was a drawn run-fest, with Warner blasting a maiden double hundred and New Zealands Ross Taylor a second, while Williamson, Smith, Khawaja and Australia veteran Adam Voges scored centuries, keeping things interesting for the inaugural day-night Test in Adelaide. Sceptics of the idea were quickly silenced as in front of some beautiful South Australia sunsets, not to mention huge crowds, the Baggy Greens won a thrilling, bowler-dominated encounter by three wickets on the third evening, with Siddle and a limping Starc dragging their side over the line and to a 2-0 series victory.Watch New Zealand and Australias Test series on Sky Sports, starting with the opener, in Wellington, from 9.25pm, Thursday, Sky Sports 3.
