Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced today the signing of infielder Rhyne Hughes to a contract for the 2014 season. Hughes, 30, is a former Major Leaguer with the Baltimore Orioles, having played in 14 games with the Os in 2010. He played with Class AA Binghamton of the Eastern League in the New York Mets system last season. In 53 games, the left-handed hitting product of Picayune, Miss. hit .278 with five home runs and 30 RBI. Weve been looking for an impact left-handed bat for the middle of our lineup and were obviously thrilled to have Rhyne Hughes become part of the Goldeyes organization, Forney said. Hes the kind of guy that can certainly carry a team for a significant period of time. Hell hit for power and drive some runs in. Hes13 a 25-30 doubles guy in our league and 10-15 home run type of guy, maybe more depending on how hes seeing the ball. Hes a power threat in the middle of the lineup. Primarily a first baseman, Hughes made his MLB debut on April 24, 2010 at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox. He went two-for-five with an RBI. Originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the eighth round of the 2004 MLB amateur draft, Hughes played six seasons in their system before being traded to Baltimore in exchange for catcher Gregg Zaun. Hughes signed as a free agent with the Mets for the 2013 season. He has spent parts of seven seasons at the Class AA and Class AAA levels. He was a Midwest League All-Star in 2006, Florida State League All-Star in 2007, Southern League All-Star in 2009 and named to the Arizona Fall League All-Prospect Team in 2008. In an unrelated move, the Goldeyes have acquired the playing rights of right-handed pitcher Pete Parise from the Lincoln Saltdogs as the player to be name later in the Mike Coles trade from last season. Following that transaction, Parises playing rights have been traded to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs for cash considerations.

Kohlschreiber dominated in all aspects of the game in his first match in the clay-court tournament and will next meet qualifier Mate Delic, who beat Dustin Brown 6-3, 6-0.SHANGHAI, China -- Andy Rod*** rallied to beat Lu Yen-Hsun of Taiwan 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 Monday in the first round of the Shanghai Masters. The 10th-seeded Rod*** won the first set easily, but Lu picked up his game in the second set, rushing the net repeatedly and hitting 15 winners to eight for the American. The former U.S. Open champion then broke Lu twice in the third set to close out the match. Rod*** was beaten by Lu in five sets in the fourth round of Wimbledon last year, the last time the two players met. But the Taiwanese player made too many mistakes Monday, committing 50 unforced errors, including seven double-faults. "He plays so high risk," Rod*** said. "Overall, I thought it was pretty good, save four games." The 29-year-old Rod*** has struggled to regain his form this season, losing in the third round at Wimbledon and pulling out of the French Open with an injury. His ranking has slipped to No. 15. Last week, he lost in the first round of the China Open in Beijing, falling in straight sets to Kevin Anderson of South Africa in a loss he later called "unacceptable." "Its been tough. Its been, I think, the toughest year Ive had. I feel like Ive been starting and stopping a lot," Rod*** said. "You know, Im going to probably have to adjust how I go about things a little bit more. Running myself into a wall with work and everything else, I dont know that I can do that without getting hurt.dddddddddddd Its happened numerous times this year. I might have to work smarter from now on." Also, Bernard Tomic of Australia overcame 25 aces from Anderson to beat the South African 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-3. Tomic won despite converting only one of 12 break points in the match. "Hes so tough because his serve, he gets his corners and gets you out of the court," said Tomic, who reached a career-high ranking of 49 this week. "Playing a lot of these guys, they serve one style. He serves every serve and serves well. You cant really get on his serve." David Nalbandian of Argentina beat Ernests Gulbis of Latvia 7-5, 6-4, Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria defeated Marsel Ilhan of Turkey 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, and Albert Montanes of Spain beat Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 6-2, 5-7, 7-6 (5). The Shanghai tournament, the only Masters event on the ATP tours autumn Asian swing, has been hit by a number of withdrawals this year. Top-ranked Novak Djokovic pulled out to recover from a back injury and No. 3 Roger Federer is taking a six-week break to rest "nagging injuries." Robin Soderling, Juan Martin del Potro and Gael Monfils have also pulled out. Andy Murray, winner of two tournaments in the past two weeks, and Rafael Nadal, however, are both playing this week. Murray won the title in Shanghai last year, beating Federer in the final. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
