ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Hector Santiago says he doesnt want to be traded, but if he keeps pitching like he is, he could draw plenty of interest from teams looking to make a playoff push.The non-waiver trading deadline is less than two weeks away, meaning Santiagos start for the Los Angeles Angels Wednesday against the Texas Rangers could be his last if the club decides to deal him.Santiago has a lot going for him -- hes left-handed, he has experience out of the bullpen, and most notably, hes on a roll.Santiago has thrown 22 consecutive innings without giving up an earned run. Hes lost just once over his last nine starts, the club going 7-2 in those games. However, he hasnt been very good against the Rangers, going 0-2 with a 7.07 ERA in three starts this season.The Rangers, though figure to see a different Santiago than the one they saw earlier this season.Its a combination of really good stuff with command, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Santiagos impressive stretch. Not only is he getting the ball in the zone, hes getting it into good spots. Hes pitching in well, changing speeds, getting the ball to the outside corner, he has some great life on his stuff.Trading Santiago, though, might not make financial sense to the Angels. Santiago is making $5 million this year and is eligible for arbitration in 2017. He isnt eligible for free agency until 2018.Left-hander Martin Perez will start for Texas.The Rangers figure to be involved in trade talks as well in the coming days, as infielder Jurickson Profar seems to be drawing plenty of interest. He didnt start Tuesdays game against the Angels, but he has started games this season at four different positions -- first base, second base, shortstop and third base -- as well as designated hitter.And now, Profar is taking fly balls in the outfield, expanding manager Jeff Banisters options to get him in the lineup more often. Profar leads the team in hitting with a .316 average.We are trying to expand his skill set, Banister told MLB.com. This is something we talked about. Look, he has been here long enough and we have challenged him to do a number of things and he has answered all the challenges. We like the professional at-bats he gives us. Expanding his versatility helps him out and helps us out. Players force you to either play them or take them out. He continues to play well.Profar said he has no problem moving around the field this year, but wants to be a starting shortstop next year, even if that means a trade.I have no problem with that if its going to make the team better, Profar told MLB.com. That means Im playing very good. That makes me happy.Profars versatility, though, would seem to make him a more valuable tool for the Rangers playoff push.One Ranger who isnt going anywhere is third baseman Adrian Beltre, who loves playing at Angel Stadium. He has more homers (19) and RBI (67) in Anaheim than any other road ballpark.And those 19 homers are the fifth most by any visiting player in Anaheim, trailing Alex Rodriguez (38), Jose Canseco (24), Juan Gonzalez (24), and Rafael Palmeiro (24). All five, by the way, played part of their careers with the Rangers. Jason Spezza Senators Jersey . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse. And, for three quarters, it showed as Gay shot a woeful three-for-13 from the field. Chris Tierney Senators Jersey .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. http://www.senatorssale.com/authentic-bobby-ryan-senators-jersey/ . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament. Brady Tkachuk Senators Jersey . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. Craig Anderson Senators Jersey . "We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence. Having two big pieces back is going to be a key for us moving forward for years to come," said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. AKRON, Ohio -- Golf in Ohio must bring out the best in William McGirt.One month after his first PGA Tour victory at the Memorial, McGirt looked just as good two hours up the road at the Bridgestone Invitational. In his World Golf Championship debut, he opened with six birdies and finished with a 45-foot par for a 6-under 64 and a three-shot lead.An Ohio sweep?Thats only happened four times, and McGirt made a strong guess at the answer.Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods and Tiger Woods? he said. That would be pretty special company.He left out Greg Norman in 1995 (Memorial and World Series of Golf), no less a select group.McGirt had some decent company behind him after an opening round of warm sunshine and fast conditions at Firestone. Jason Day, the worlds No. 1 player, was among three players at 67, while Jordan Spieth somehow managed to post a 68 despite having only one birdie attempt (he missed) in his first 10 holes.I wasnt supposed to shoot 2 under today, Spieth said.U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson had a U.S. Open kind of round -- 15 pars, two birdies and a bogey -- for a 69. His big celebration was walking off the 11th green to learn that his alma mater, Coastal Carolina, had just won the College World Series for its first national title. His golf wasnt bad considering that he didnt practice much last week while celebrating his first major (and his 32nd birthday) in The Bahamas.I didnt expect a whole lot today, Johnson said. I always expect to play well, but this golf course is playing tough.Only 17 players of the 61-man field broke par. The first round ended with only 58 players.Daniel Berger withdrew after his opening tee shot with a shoulder injury. Brooks Koepka withdrew after 13 holes with an ankle injury. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III, playing at Firestone for the first time since 2009, withdrew after a 78 because of what was described as a torn labrum.The field also was missing Rory McIlroy and Masters champion Danny Willett, among several European Tour players who opted to play the French Open this week.McGirt had never played in a WGC until he became eligible with his playoff victory at Muirfield Village a month ago. He showed up at Firestone on Sunday, playedd nine holes and rode in a cart on the back nine.dddddddddddd fell in love with the place because length is not everything out here, McGirt said. You have to drive it in the fairway. You have to drive it in the correct spots in the fairways to be able to attack pins. I love it because you cant stand up there and just hit it as hard as you want, go find it and hack it on the green. Its an old, traditional style golf course, which I absolutely love.I dont know, maybe its something with Ohio I like, he added.The most peculiar round belonged to Spieth, who said he has been in a lull the last month as he searches for something in his swing, particularly his wedges. It had the look of a score closer to 74 or 75, except that the former Masters and U.S. Open champion kept hanging in there with pars. One shot hit a tree and bounced forward over the water into a bunker. He whiffed on a 7-iron that left him a tough pitch, but he managed to save par from 8 feet.He ended the front nine with par-saving putts from 20 feet and 25 feet.It took him until the 15th hole before he had back-to-back birdie putts, and he started converting them. He holed the last four of them.Im really just searching for something that isnt far off, thats real simple, Spieth said. It really is only taking place on my scoring clubs, but thats where you need them. Its close. Its almost there. And when it clicks, were definitely in business the way the short game is.Emiliano Grillo and Jimmy Walker also were at 67 with Day, while Spieth was joined by Rickie Fowler, Anirban Lahiri and Charley Hoffman.Day said he felt a burden lifted by making his announcement not to play in the Olympics because of Zika concerns, but he didnt think that equated to his golf. It was a tidy round with only one bogey and four birdies, and a pair of tough par saves from a bunker on No. 9 and behind the green on the par-5 16th.It was just kind of a weird feeling of a day where I kind of made some good pars, kept the momentum going, and all of a sudden I shot 67, Day said. Ive just got to keep grinding until Sunday is over. ' ' '
