Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced today the signing of catcher Luis Alen to a contract for the 2014 season. Alen, 28, hit .315 with five home runs, 59 RBI and a career-high nine stolen bases for the Goldeyes last season. He is the longest serving catcher in Goldeyes history, having already spent five seasons with the organization. Alen is poised to become one of four players in franchise history to play six or more seasons with Winnipeg. “Obviously, Luis is one of my most favourite players that weve ever had wear a Goldeyes uniform,” Forney said. “In my opinion, hes the best duel-threat catcher there is in independent baseball. Offensively, hes a very consistent .300-hitting catcher that has the ability to drive in a lot of runs and produce a great on-base percentage. He doesnt swing and miss very much. Behind the plate, hes super at receiving and does a great job of calling games. He has a real understanding of what works and what doesnt work in this league.” Hailing from San Francisco, Venezuela, Alen has a career .315 batting average with Winnipeg, which sits third in franchise history for Goldeyes players with a minimum of 750 career at-bats. Hes hit 29 home runs and added 261 RBI in 465 career games, which trails only Max Poulins 676 games played for the most by a Goldeyes player. Among other career Goldeyes records Alen is chasing, he needs 11 doubles to pass Fehlandt Lentini, 59 RBI to pass Harry Berrios and 95 hits to pass Poulin. Alen was signed as a free agent by the Florida Marlins in 2003 and played three seasons in their system. After playing in Italy in 2006, he joined the Goldeyes for the 2007 campaign. He was then signed by the New York Mets and played from 2008-2009 in their organization. Alen came back to Winnipeg in 2010 and has played the last four seasons with the Goldeyes. The Goldeyes now have 14 players signed for the 2014 season, including seven pitchers and seven position players. Yeezy Shoes Clearance .

Marc-Andre Fleury made 27 saves to backstop the Penguins to a 2-1 victory over the Flames, handing Calgary its team record sixth consecutive home regulation loss.11) The last NFL team to lose a game this season, assuming there isnt an undefeated record on the horizon, will be the Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals or Philadelphia Eagles. Prior to the season, if I had asked you to nominate 10 teams as the ones most likely to stay undefeated the longest, would any of those three have made your list?12) Should LA Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw win the National Leagues MVP award? I am not in favour of pitchers being considered unless there is no other logical choice, but there really isnt, and when Kershaw pitches, the Dodgers know that if they can score four runs, they will win. And they know that three or two or one might be good enough. That makes Kershaw mighty valuable.13) In the proud history of the Montreal Canadiens, captains have included Toe Blake, Jean Beliveau, Maurice and Henri Richard, Serge Savard, Yvan Cournoyer, Bob Gainey and Saku Koivu. Even if the current Habs roster doesnt include a player who has yet risen to that level, shouldnt the Canadiens have one captain instead of four players who share the honour?14) Modern-day baseball analysts are fond of dismissing the significance of a pitchers won-lost record. Okay, I get it, but in trying to explain the Baltimore Orioles successful season, doesnt the 16-5 record of Wei-yin Chen count for something?15) TV banners can be awfully corny, but can you really argue with one that says the Hamilton Ticats are "rolling up the wins" with their 3-0 record at Tim Hortons Field?16) Not that the Vancouver Canucks are new to goaltending controversy, but this is different. With Roberto Luongo and Cory Schnneider gone, the Canucks goalies are Ryan Miller, Eddie Lack and Jacob Markstrom.ddddddddddddCoach Willie Desjardins says he is comfortable with the idea of carrying all three into the season. Really? If healthy, Miller is good for 60-70 games. So the third guy, likely Markstrom, would be uncomfortable with the idea, wouldnt you say? 17) Was Gary Bettman kidding when he said a second NHL team in Toronto would be a bad idea because its media coverage would be dwarfed by that afforded the Maple Leafs? The idea of a second Toronto team is a constant source of media discussion. Imagine if it actually existed. 17) What is worse for a general manager than the team blowing games? The GM blowing money, of course. After the Atlanta Braves lost their 14th of 18 games in September to be officially eliminated from playoff contention, general manager Frank Wren was fired. Among the contracts he leaves behind is B.J. Uptons 5-year, $75 million deal that has three years remaining. An outfielder who hits barely above the .200 mark, Upton has come to be considered one of the least productive rich players in baseball history.18) Will we say that Masahiro Tanaka is the first pitcher to recover from successful non-Tommy John surgery?19) When Anquan Boldin rips NFL officials and blames them for the San Francisco 49ers 1-2 record, does Roger Goodell put him on a list of players he would have suspended in any other year but cant worry about this year?20) Perhaps the Derek Jeter farewell tour has been over the top, but wont he be missed when we try to find another example of how an athlete should conduct his career?
