Watering schedules are now in place.
Oklahoma City, Moore and surrounding communities have implemented Progressive Water Conservation Stages. Mandatory odd/even watering (Stage 1) is now permanently in effect. If the drought worsens, additional conservation measures will take effect.
How does odd/even watering work? It's simple.
CALL AHEAD!!!! Call us 24 hours a day at 793-5080 whenever you have signs of a developing backup. We're on duty around the clock; working together, we can prevent most sewer backups. Signs of blockage include:
•Slow Draining Sinks
•Wastewater back flow
•Continuous Sewage Smell
If there's a problem with the City line, we should be able to fix it before sewage backs up into your house. If your private line is blocked, we'll tell you so you can get it fixed.
The Moore Police Department held a press conference on 9-26-2014 at 10:00 am to discuss the incident at Vaughan Foods on 9-25-2014. Below you will find a link to the full press conference video and statement that was released to the media.

You're right I'm not 100% neutral. I believe that faith is in general a bad thing. Why? Because faith without evidence means that you can be led and manipulated any which way the manipulator wants. I've fallen into that trap before and would prefer not to fall into it again. Therefore I will never ever be a part of any religion ever because there is no way I'm just going to take their word for it at face value.
You can sit there and tell me all you want about what you believe Christianity and religion is. But that means nothing to me. I wil observe religious people and see what it is they ACTUALLY believe. I'll carve my own path, my days of being led ended a long, long time ago.
But you have faith in all your other beliefs that you mentioned ? Weird . Also , you don't need to get involved with any people to be a Christian , I am not a member of any Church because the Churches do not teach what they should and are apostate . All you need is the Word and a relationship with God and of course to get born-again of the Spirit above . I think the Commandments scare a lot of people too and that is the main reason why they rail against Christianity and the Bible , they are afraid of having to change their lives , change scares a lot of people .
Anonymous Coward 12623026
Well yeah basically. If I were to give a very rough estimate based on my own observations I'd say there's about a 75-25 split between the people who are just [insert religion here] because it makes them feel superior to others and gives them a sense of self confidence and the people who are truly the goodness that they talk about. And its a spectrum thing so I'm not saying that is
those two groups. However it does seem very slanted in the persecutory, hateful, gay bashing, woman owning direction.
Because of that I have the belief that if you actually call yourself a [insert belief here] ten you're probably not a real one. And if you are a real one, you should stop calling yourself that label because you would probably not want to associate yourself with those people anyways.
That's why these videos and this discussion is here. The christians acted out in them are the types of christians that are just there to feel superior.
Or maybe it shows that they are very passionate about their beliefs and don't like seeing people lie and slander them .

All I'm saying is that there are ways to make it work monetarily by minimizing the loss of attendance with the right marketing and by accounting for the added revenues from superstar memorabilia sales.
Then, if you do it right, and you end up building a contender, then you will end up making more money in the long run although it's riskier than aiming for 8th. Risk in business can be acceptable at times. And let's not forget that patchworks also have the risk of not working and you can still fail to make the playoffs, you end up with the worst of both worlds then with maximum frustration from the fans with no playoffs revenue and no superstar boosted jersey sales. So, there are risks associated with both.
Also, have you ever stopped to think it might be you who is a bit close minded and refuses to see any other possibilities than what's always been done before ? What's always been done before isn't necessarily the right thing to do, or even what will always happen in the future.
That said, I doubt the habs ever do that. Their loss (and mine I guess). Thankfully, we might take the right path by mistake. But I'm also perfectly fine with a new GM coming in and building a contender via trades/signings. It's gonna have to be a truly good management team though, enough with the Gauthier/Gainey/ex-sens losers crap. Never ever gonna build a contender that way.

CurvesRead MoreAs they enter the training circle at Curves, female guests come face-to-face with the smiles of other women. And just as points on a circle share a common distance from the circle's center, workout participants share the experiences of those nearby by trading stations throughout the 30-minute training session. One minute is spent on a piece of strength-training equipment built for feminine frames and designed to work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement. Exercisers then move on to a recovery station, where they run, jog, or dance to maintain heart rates and keep platforms in place during momentary losses of gravity.3377 Highway 41A SClarksville, TN US
NBalance Hot Yoga & FitnessRead MoreInside NBalance Hot Yoga & Fitness's studios, infrared-heating systems warm only the objects in studios, not the air that surrounds them. This technology prevents studios from feeling oppressively hot while still delivering the benefits of hot yoga: systemic detoxification and an intensified cardio workout. In the warmth of the studio's confines, yoga classes range from hot yoga, during which students hold Hatha poses to increase endurance, to Vinyasa style, in which flowing transitions link Hatha poses to the sounds of upbeat music. The studio also offers indoor cycling sessions, Pilates, and TRX workouts, conducted on a suspension trainer that harnesses the power of body weight and gravity.1960 Madison StClarksville, TN US
Anytime FitnessRead MoreNovice calorie burners and ripped Michelangelo models alike can take advantage of Anytime Fitness?s one-month membership ($39.95), which equips bodies with enough treadmills, cycles, elliptical machines, and weights to make them fit enough to run a marathon inside of a swimming pool filled with mud. A free fitness orientation offered to each new member helps determine an optimal fat-frying and muscle-mass-magnifying program, and a personal-training session ($40) help self-sculptors attain results. This deal also includes a month of unlimited tanning ($20) to paint new, ripply physiques a brilliant shade of bronze.2690 Madison StClarksville, TN US
Family FitnessRead MoreJust because it's winter doesn't mean you have to lose that healthy bronze glow! Head over to Family Fitness in Murray for tanning and more. Family Fitness offers a wide selection of tanning services, including custom airbrushing. Just visiting the neighborhood? Stop by today for a walk-in appointment. No time like the present! When you're ready to relax and get your tan on, you can call Family Fitness and schedule a quick appointment.808 Chestnut StMurray, KY US
CurvesRead MoreCurves provides you with a complete cardio and strength training workout in just 30 minutes. With a system that can burn up to 500 calories and work every major muscle group, you get an efficient and effective workout every visit. It?s no wonder over 4 million women have chosen Curves to meet their health goals.185 Beasley DrDickson, TN US

VIEWS: 381 PAGES: 4 CATEGORY: Business Letters POSTED ON: 4/15/2010 Public Domain
[Writing An Executive Summary That Means Business] [Writing for Business] 12/04/2010 Submitted By Arockia sagayaraj Arulsamy According to author, "Executive summary is a bit of a misnomer," says (Tom Sant,) founder of the Cincinnati-based Sant Corporation and author of Persuasive Business Proposals: Writing to Win Customers, Clients, and Contracts (Amacom, 1992). "What you're really trying to do is lay out the business case." While the business plan's executive summary is the first thing the readers of your business plan see, it should be the last part of the business plan you write. The purpose of the executive summary of the business plan is to provide your readers with an overview of the business plan. Think of it as an introduction to your business. Therefore, your business plan's executive summary will include summaries of: • a description of your company, including your products and/or services • your mission statement • your business's management • the market and your customer • marketing and sales • your competition • your business's operations • financial projections and plans The executive summary will end with a summary statement, a "last kick at the can" sentence or two designed to persuade the readers of your business plan that your business is a winner. How to write an Executive Summary To write the executive summary of the business plan, start by following the list above and writing one to three sentences about each topic. (No more!) If you have trouble crafting these summary sentences from scratch, review your business plan to get you going. In fact, one approach to writing the executive summary of the business plan is to take a summary sentence or two from each of the business plan sections you've already written. (If you compare the list above to the sections outlined in the Business Plan Outline, you'll see that this could work very well.) Then finish your business plan's executive summary with a clinching closing sentence or two that answers the reader's question "Why is this a winning business?" The Author Chillibreeze, ( 2009) is enlightened some more ideas to deliver a good summary, Tips for writing a good executive summary: 1. The executive summary should be written last. 2. List key questions which any reader may have. Refer RFP document or research brief for the same. The executive summary must have answers for all of them. 3. List the main points you want to cover or inform the readers about 4. Do not copy and paste from the report 5. Do spelling and grammar check. 6. Avoid colored fonts. Use simple font type, highlight headings and use bullet points 7. Avoid jargon. 8. Proof read 9. Use technology, if possible, to link references to the main document. 10. Read the final version after a few hours break. 11. Ask a colleague to read and see if he or she gets the picture right. 12. If sending via email, send as PDF This is a GOOD example of an executive summary from a marketing report. This report was commissioned to examine why the Terms of reference sales volume of Choice Chocolate has dropped over Statement of problem/ the past two years since its peak in 1998 and to topic recommend ways of increasing the volume. The research draws attention to the fact that in 1998, the market share of Choice Chocolate was Formal language 37%. The shares of their key competitors such as appropriate to report Venus and Bradbury were 22% and 18% writing respectively. The size of the chocolate market then was $36 million. Over the next two years, although Key findings summarized Choice Chocolate retained its market share the volume of sales in the whole market decreased to $29 million. Further investigations reveal that this market shrinkage coincided with an increase in health awareness amongst consumers who regard the milk and sugar ingredients in chocolate as negative; moreover, since the second half of 1999, an increasing number of rival 'health candies' had appeared on the market. These claimed to offer the consumers a healthy alternative. These factors appear to be the major causes of the decreased sales volume of Choice Chocolate. Slim Choice is the latest chocolate range put forward by the R & D Department of Choice Chocolate. The report evaluates this range and concludes that it would be an ideal candidate to meet the challenge presented by the market and could satisfy the new consumer demand since it Problem solution uses significantly reduced milk and sugar summarized ingredients and is endorsed by renowned health experts. According to 97% of the 2000 subjects tested recently, it also retains the same flavor as the original range. It is recommended: that Choice Chocolate take immediate measures to launch and promote Slim Choice alongside its existing product range; that Slim Choice adopt a fresh and healthy image; that part of the launch campaign contains product endorsement statements by renowned health experts; Recommendations that Slim Choice be available in health food summarized shops as well as in traditional chocolate retail outlets This is a POOR example of an executive summary from a marketing assignment Executive Summary Every time a business or consumer purchases Background to problem products or services they display forms of buyer behavior that are influenced by many factors. The Report's aims following report looks at the fast food industry and Outlines what will analyze four McDonalds' key products and information the report services.

RATINGS: 323 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.76 SEASONAL: Winter EST. CALORIES: 240 ABV: 8%
This is the kind of beer that gives the word "stout" a reputation. Extra generous quantities of barley malt, followed by vigorous fermentation leaves this "imperial" heavy weight with 8% alcohol A.B.V. and a body as full as chocolate bread pudding. A complimentary and complex array of bitter notes comes form potent American hops, earthy British hops, black-roasted malts and, of course, coffee. Santa Fe Brewing Company uses only top-quality ingredients like organically grown East Timor coffee beans blended with New Guinea coffee beans, locally roasted by Ohoris Coffee House. Its heavenly flavor and aroma cant be beat or imitated.

Drink between: 2008 - 2014 (Add My Dates)
from magnum. Excellent freshness and taste of minerality and cherry red fruits. Excellent balance with medium long finish. Earthy notes and terroir feel. Nice wine.
Blood/brick red. Better after 12+ hour decant when drying tannins receded into background. Smooth but firm, medium bodied, hint of red fruit with earthy finish.
This has finally blossomed and is showing its promise from barrel, despite being slightly thin, it has delicious juicy red depth. Lovely balance and nice finish.
This benefited from a 2 hour decanting, and still was a bit tight at first but then opened up and picked up silky weight. It showed light to medium-weight, red berry and a touch of sourness to the fruit but in a good way. This will not make converts of the California Cab drinkers, as it is not a burly wine – but it is a very pleasing example of a well-made Beaune.
Drank after pulling cork 5 hours earlier, but needs a 2-4 hour decant. Lots of depth but no charm. Too full bodied and austere for beaune.

WorldWide Papa's Plc., the exclusive area developer of Papa John's restaurants in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region of Russia, is now listed on the Deutsche Böerse - Frankfurt Open Market (FSE) under the stock symbol "1PJ.F."
The company officially went public with the ringing of the bell Feb. 14, making it the first Papa John's franchisee to be listed as such.
"This public listing is taking place under the most ideal conditions in our view: explosive economic growth and rich opportunity for continued success in St. Petersburg, a solid and quality-focused operations and management team on the ground in Russia, and continued consumer embrace of the Papa John's brand and product," said Darrin Stock, CEO and founder of WorldWide Papa's Plc. "We believe history is repeating itself, not only in the economic market but in the public sector as well, and we're at the forefront of the progression in the marketplace."
The primary motivation in WorldWide Papa's Plc. listing on the FSE is to introduce the company to new investors and raise additional capital to fuel expansion in St. Petersburg. The company has the near-term goal of growing the number of restaurants from four to 40 in the St. Petersburg and Leningrad region, accelerated by the public listing on the FSE.
"We congratulate WorldWide Papa's on its stock market listing," said Tom Sterrett, senior vice president of Papa John's International division. "As we grow our brand throughout the world, we have identified Russia as a priority market that we believe has the opportunity for significant growth. The first four restaurants opened by Worldwide Papa's have produced some of the highest sales averages among our international markets. We look forward to their continued growth in the Papa John's system."
Papa John's International, the franchisor supporting WorldWide Papa's, began in the United States with its first restaurant opening in 1984 in Jeffersonville, Ind. It now includes more than 3,600 locations throughout the world.
Since going public, the franchisee has experienced plenty of highlights, including:

Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman take a twisted look at showbiz news and bite the Hollywood hand that feeds them. Sometimes, they feel bad and give Hollywood a tetanus shot and some Neosporin, but, even then, they usually just turn around and bite Hollywood's other hand. They can't help it. It's their nature. It's like that "scorpion and frog" story. But, deep down, they're just two nice East Coast boys... who happen to have a heavy dependence on drugs and alcohol, respectively.

Globally 14.2 million people between the ages of 30-69 years die prematurely each year from these diseases. These diseases have emerged as bigger killers than infectious or heridetary ones. Risk factors for these diseases include tobacco use, unhealthy diets and physical inactivity. Today we will take look at the most common lifestyle diseases that you need to take seriously. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images

As for hobbies, I play football and basketball, grow bismuth crystals in my kitchen, write songs, and do comedy stuff from time to time, either standup or making video sketches. I also volunteer as a literacy tutor.
Im very close to my family, and my brother is my best friend. I love myself and i always try to act like it though sometimes i buy pringles. I never ask anyone out on dates, and mostly look at okcupid to remind myself that loneliness is universal.
Im fairly shy though most people cant tell. I have a bald spot and a cat. I like strange people, and funny people. I was raised to treat women respectfully. My friend expects people to be good and she is constantly disappointed, I usually expect people to be selfish and petty and im constantly delighted when they are not. We argue over which one of us is the optimist.

Koji Uehara Rumors
Cafardo On Sale, Ramirez, Uehara, Papelbon
In today's column, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe suggests ten steps to help fix the Red Sox. The first item on the list is one that has been discussed quite a bit – Boston's need for a true ace in the rotation. Beyond that, Cafardo would like to see the Sox trade Clay Buchholz, focus on acquiring players who can thrive in their environment, and hire an executive to oversee and question the moves of GM Ben Cherington. Here's a look at some of the highlights from Cafardo's Sunday offering..
- White Sox left-hander Chris Sale is on a strikeout tear and teams would surely like to add him this summer. However, team sources tell Cafardo that Sale is not available. Even though the White Sox are in last place, they see him as the cornerstone of their franchise. Sale, 26, has a 2.74 ERA with 12.1 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 through 13 starts this season.
- There have been conflicting reports on the subject, but Cafardo hears that the Mets have made inquiries on Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez. Ramirez, who turns 37 this week, has hit just .220/.256/.405 in 211 plate appearances this season. However, some feel that a move to a contending club could get him back on track. Cafardo also writes that it wouldn't be surprising if the Giants or Padres got in the mix on the veteran.
- Teams are watching Red Sox closer Koji Uehara and monitoring him to make sure that he's free of serious injury concerns. At the same time, his $9MM salary for next season is a deterrent for rival teams. "There's always going to be a holding of your breath to commit to him, but he's still very good. Boston would have to pick up some of the salary. But I think teams will definitely inquire and make a push for him," one AL evaluator told Cafardo.
- Jonathan Papelbon would seem to be a great fit for the the Blue Jays, but money continues to be an issue for Toronto. The Phillies could probably assume a lot of Papelbon's deal for this year and some of the $13MM vesting option for 2016, but the sense is that Toronto wants to go even cheaper. Also, they don't want to give up youngster Daniel Norris to find their late-inning solution.

Heyman's Latest: Phillies, C. Johnson, Sellers, Harang, Rays
In his weekly Inside Baseball column, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports begins by taking a look at a messy situation in Philadelphia. Heyman hears the same rumblings that were first reported by CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury — that Andy MacPhail could very well be in line for an executive role with the Phillies. The hiring of MacPhail would bring into question the status of both GM Ruben Amaro and manager Ryne Sandberg. While one exec notes that no one could have had much success with the hand Sandberg has been dealt, his calm demeanor hasn't motivated the team much, and he may have lost the clubhouse at this point. Heyman notes that partial owner John Middleton, who is believed by some to be calling the shots in Philly, may have extra impetus to get a new decision-maker in the door so that a lame-duck GM (Amaro's contract expires at season's end) isn't the primary decision-maker on what could be a franchise-altering Cole Hamels trade. Speaking of Hamels, Heyman notes that interested teams will want to see him pitch at least twice now that he had a start pushed back due to a hamstring strain, thinning the window of opportunity to trade him. As far as Jonathan Papelbon goes, the belief is that he'd approve any trade that sent him to a contending team, though the Cubs might be his preferred fit at this point if he had a say in the matter.
Some more highlights from Heyman's latest (though there's more in the column than we can cover here)…
- The Braves have tried to trade Chris Johnson and even offered to substantially pay down the remaining money on his contract, but there's been little interest. The Johnson deal was widely questioned from the start, and there's still about $21MM owed to Johnson through the end of the 2017 season. Johnson's a viable weapon against lefties, but he's a sub-par hitter against right-handed pitchers and is not well-regarded from a defensive standpoint.
- Rival teams are beginning to wonder if the Red Sox might sell some pieces this summer, with Mike Napoli, Clay Buchholz and Koji Uehara among the possible names listed by Heyman. Napoli isn't hitting for average but has shown good power and a nice walk rate. Buchholz has improved after a rocky start and Uehara again has strong numbers in the 'pen.
- The White Sox are beginning to think about selling, Heyman hears, but they're not quite ready to move their bigger pieces. Emilio Bonifacio might be the first name they make available, but eventually, Jeff Samardzija's name could be out there. Heyman writes that while Samardzija isn't pitching well in 2015, his big arm is so tantalizing to scouts that there will still be interest in him.
- The Reds aren't expected to sell until after the All-Star Game and would be very open to shedding Brandon Phillips' contract, per Heyman, though I have a difficult time envisioning too many teams lining up to take on the remainder of that deal. Phillips is owed about $34.1MM through the end of the 2017 season and has seen his power more or less vanish. Heyman speculates that Everth Cabrera could be a fit in Cincinnati with Zack Cozart out for the year, and there's some logic to that scenario, though they may first prefer to see what they have in Eugenio Suarez. The Mets aren't interested in Cabrera, he adds later.
- The Marlins aren't selling yet, according to GM-turned-manager Dan Jennings. "We're in it, we're not jumping off the ship. No doubt about that," Jennings told Heyman. If their attitude changes, Heyman thinks they'll find interest in Martin Prado and Mike Dunn.
- The Astros like Aaron Harang but are said to be aiming higher when looking at potential trade targets to bolster their rotation.
- The Dodgers are on the hunt for a top-tier starting pitcher and a late-inning arm to help bridge the gap to Kenley Jansen. In other Dodgers-related news, Heyman hears that No. 35 pick Kyle Funkhouser is strongly considering returning to Louisville. Funkhouser was once looked at as a potential Top 10 pick, but he fell to a slot with a $1.756MM value. He'd have less leverage in 2016 as a senior sign, of course, but he could certainly improve his draft stock and his bonus with a big senior year.
- Yankees chief international officer/executive vice president Felix Lopez is no longer listed on the team's web site and some indicate that he's been gone from the organization for three months, Heyman writes. Lopez was said to have angered Yoan Moncada's camp after calling to express displeasure with their decision to sign in Boston over New York. The team hasn't made a statement on his departure.
- The Rays are looking for first base help with James Loney on the disabled list, but Loney's said to be returning around the All-Star break. Heyman speculates on the possibility of Ryan Howard ending up in Tampa Bay if the Phillies eat some or all of the contract, but I'd think there'd be something of a logjam there once Loney is activated in that scenario.

AL East Notes: Yankees, Uehara, Rays
The entire AL East has had troubles with starting pitching so far this season, Peter Gammons writes. Heading into play today, the division had only produced 34 quality starts in 90 games. Gammons feels the Yankees' strong bullpen and ability to upgrade their roster via the trade market this summer could make them the favorite in the division — they have plenty of Double-A talent they could trade, and they have the ability to afford an additional expensive starting pitcher. Here's more from the AL East.
- Koji Uehara's struggles Saturday night raise questions about whether the Red Sox made the right move in re-signing Uehara and letting Andrew Miller leave for the Yankees last offseason, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe writes. The Red Sox gave Uehara two years and $18MM, a commitment that Cafardo notes surprised some observers, given Uehara's injury issues and his play down the stretch last year (and, presumably, given the fact that he's 40). Miller, meanwhile, got twice that amount from the Yankees and has pitched well so far. It is perhaps worth noting, though, that Uehara has six strikeouts and no walks in 4 1/3 innings thus far this season. Worries about him might be somewhat premature.
- The Rays have been successful so far this season despite serious troubles with injuries, MLB.com's Bill Chastain writes. Last offseason and the start of this season have been a test for president of baseball operations Matt Silverman, who has now had to deal with losing his manager and with having 12 players (including Drew Smyly and James Loney, who have since returned) on the disabled list at once.

Red Sox Notes: Outfield, Scherzer, Masterson, Buchholz
We recently look a look at the Boston outfield situation, noting that the logjam still seemed in need of clearance. Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe writes in response to a fan that the Red Sox need to trade Allen Craig, Shane Victorino, or both. A healthy Victorino, he continues, would likely either be a regular in the outfield or be traded. Cafardo adds that he does not expect a bench role to suit the veteran, although Boston would likely have to eat some of Victorino's $13MM salary to trade him.
Here are some more notes out of Boston, all via WEEI.com's Rob Bradford:
- The Red Sox had "numerous discussions" with Scott Boras about Max Scherzer over the offseason, Bradford reports. Boston valued Scherzer on the level of Jon Lester, and eventually came to realize that it was not going to get him at a price the team was willing to pay. Boras never gave any indication that a cut rate might be had for Scherzer, a source tells Bradford, and it seems clear in retrospect that he had good reason for that stance.
- Boston did end up with another talented righty at a much lower cost in Justin Masterson. As Bradford writes, the former Indian bet on himself last year and lost. But he says he has no regrets about failing to reach an extension with Cleveland and settling for a one-year, make-good deal with the Sox. Of course, at a $9.5MM salary, Masterson is receiving quite a nice guarantee while he tries to work through his troubles.
- Another right-handed starter entering a potential contract year for the Red Sox is Clay Buchholz, who Bradford spoke with recently. Suddenly the veteran of the staff, Buchholz's guaranteed money runs out after this season. The club controls him for two more years through successive options ($13MM and $13.5MM, respectively), but it is far from certain that they will be picked up. Either way, Buchholz is certainly pitching for his next contract, and tells Bradford that he hopes a normal offseason will contribute to a strong 2015.
- Bradford was also among the reporters to speak with Koji Uehara yesterday as Uehara detailed his thought process when it came to re-signing in Boston. "No doubt at all," said Uehara. "It was the only team I talked to so I was pretty sure if I was going to sign it was going to be with the Red Sox. Since the Red Sox had offers of multiple years that really erased any doubts going into the offseason as a free agent. … Because of my age, it was very important."

Pitching Notes: Gee, K-Rod, Soriano, Marlins, Uehara, Richards
Right-hander Dillon Gee is likely the odd man out and headed to the Mets' bullpen this season, and ESPN New York's Adam Rubin was among the reporters to speak with him today regarding the move (video link). Gee says he is ready to contribute in whatever role he is asked, even though he obviously prefers to stay in the rotation. Though he did not ever speak with anyone in the front office, he relayed that his agent did, and was seemingly left with the impression that a trade was never quite as likely as was believed in some quarters.
Let's have a look at a few segments of the pitching market where action still seems open:
- It would still be unwise to bet against two other well-known closers — Francisco Rodriguez and Rafael Soriano — landing substantial contracts, writes Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Notably, both free agents are represented by Scott Boras, who Rosenthal says not to bet against. As Rosenthal rightly points out, it will be interesting to see whether that pair of big-named arms manages to top the guarantees given to names like Pat Neshek ($12.5MM) and Zach Duke ($15MM).
- As previously reported, Rodriguez has drawn interest from the Marlins, who have also had discussions about fellow free agent righty Joba Chamberlain, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter). And those aren't the only arms still under consideration in Miami, per Heyman. The club is seemingly casting a wide net — waiting for a good value, perhaps — in adding a final piece before camp.
- Red Sox closer Koji Uehara said today that his mid-season swoon was due in part to injury issues, as Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald reports. The trouble was related to Uehara's lower back, GM Ben Cherington said. Obviously, the club believes that he will be able to return without issue, given the contract it gave the veteran relief ace.
- Breakout Angels starter Garrett Richards threw his first pen session since undergoing knee surgery last year, as Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports. Reports were solid on the 26-year-old righty, whose return — and ability to match his outstanding results from last year — will go a long way toward defining the club. Anything close to his 2014 showing would seemingly make Richards a prime extension target.

Red Sox Sign Koji Uehara To Two-Year Extension
The Red Sox announced that they have signed right-hander Koji Uehara to a two-year extension that runs through the 2016 season. Alex Speier of WEEI.com reports that it is a two-year, $18MM contract (Twitter link). Uehara is represented by Mark Pieper of Relativity Sports.
Uehara, who turns 40 next April, has thrived over the past two seasons in Boston, rising from elite setup man to All-Star closer in short order. Though he finished 2014 on a negative note — he yielded 10 runs over his final 7 2/3 innings and pitched just five time in September due to arm fatigue — Uehara has overall been nothing short of outstanding in Boston.
In 138 2/3 innings for the Red Sox, Uehara has pitched to a pristine 1.75 ERA with 11.7 K/9 and 1.1 BB/9. He was a postseason hero during the Red Sox' 2013 World Series run, allowing one run in 13 2/3 innings and winning ALCS MVP honors after appearing in five of the six games in that series. Though not a flamethrower, Uehara racks up strikeouts thanks to an exceptional split-finger. This past season, the only pitcher in all of Major League Baseball who posted a higher swinging-strike rate than Uehara's 18.8 percent was Aroldis Chapman.
Uehara figures to be the first significant signing of what should be an active offseason for the Red Sox, who appear to have no plans to go into rebuilding mode on the heels of a last-place finish in 2014. Rather, the Red Sox prioritized adding MLB-ready help at the trade deadline and are expected to pursue at least one top starting pitcher on the open market in the offseason. Boston has also been connected to the likes of Pablo Sandoval and Chase Headley. To that end, Uehara's contract isn't a detriment to the team's long-term outlook. Including Uehara, the Red Sox still have just four contracts on the books for 2016 and only two guaranteed contracts to which they are committed beyond that season. That positions the team well to add at least one significant multi-year pact this winter, if not more.
In my recent free agent profile for Uehara, I pegged him for a one-year, $11MM contract on the open market while noting that I felt he could receive two years at a lower annual value should his preference be for security over the upside of another large one-year deal next offseason. His departure from the free agent market weakens a strong crop of relievers that is headlined by David Robertson and Andrew Miller but also includes Sergio Romo, Pat Neshek, Luke Gregerson and a number of other solid arms.

Free Agent Profile: Koji Uehara
Koji Uehara had a meteoric rise to becoming one of the most dominant closers in the game, but the 39-year-old also had a sharp decline at the end of the 2014 season that has seriously clouded his free agent stock.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a relief pitcher — or any pitcher — with definitively better control than Uehara. Since jumping to the Majors in 2009, Uehara has walked 46 batters in 350 1/3 innings, and four of those have been intentional. He's averaged just 1.2 walks per nine innings over a six-year career, and a dozen of those walks came in his rookie season. He hasn't walked more than nine batters in any of the past five seasons.
Uehara isn't just a control artist, however. Armed with a devastating split-finger, Uehara struck out 11.2 hitters per nine innings this season and has averaged 10.6 K/9 in his MLB career. Among pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched, his ridiculous 18.8 percent swinging strike rate in 2014 was second only to Aroldis Chapman.
He battled a bit of shoulder soreness early in the year, but Uehara was able to avoid the disabled list for the second straight season. He's been on the DL just once in the past four seasons, when he missed a little more than two months with a strained right lat. Overall, he's been durable and highly effective as a late-inning option for the Orioles, Rangers and Red Sox.
Uehara comes with experience in a setup role and in a closing role. He took over as the closer for the 2013 Red Sox and played a significant role in their World Series victory, posting a 1.09 ERA with 12.2 K/9 and 1.1 BB/9 in the regular season before firing 13 2/3 innings of one-run ball in the playoffs. He struck out 16 hitters without issuing a walk in the postseason and was named ALCS MVP after appearing in five of the six games. Teams will value the fact that he has thrived in a major market and on the game's biggest stage.
Uehara will pitch next season at the age of 40, so clubs will inevitably have some reservation about his age.
The bigger concern for interested teams, however, will likely be the precipitous drop-off in his performance at the end of the season. Uehara yielded 10 runs over his final 7 2/3 innings this past season, leading many to wonder if he had become fatigued after a such heavy workload over the past two years. Uehara pitched only five times in the month of September, as he was shut down for a large portion of the month. Dominant as he's been, that slide, coupled with his age, is will be seen as a reason for pause.
Uehara has never thrown hard, but his 88.2 mph average fastball last season was the second-slowest of his big league career and represented a noticeable drop from the prior year's 89.2 mph mark. He also throws more splitters than any reliever in baseball — a pitch that is believed by many to put a high amount of stress on the elbow. Angels manager Mike Scioscia, Rays manager Joe Maddon and former Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson all weighed in on the risks of the pitch in this 2011 piece from the Associated Press.
Though a clear language barrier separates Uehara from his teammates, he's learned enough to get by with teammates since moving to the U.S. and is wildly popular among teammates, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal wrote late last year. Uehara is a master of using impersonations to get a laugh out of teammates; Brian Matusz spoke kindly of a particularly amusing impression of Jim Johnson, MacPherson wrote. Craig Breslow told MacPherson that no one thinks of Uehara as someone from another continent. "They think of him as one of the guys." Breslow was complimentary of Uehara's one-liners, stating that because he didn't speak quite enough English to build up context, "Every time he opens his mouth, it's a punchline." Drake Britton called Uehara "one of the coolest people" he's ever met.
Uehara is married and has one child. In his time with Boston he's been active in the community by visiting victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, participating in a golf tournament to benefit a South Florida children's hospital and participating in a baseball camp for children, among many other events/appearances, per the Red Sox media guide.
The Red Sox have made it known that they want Uehara back in 2015, and there's mutual interest between the two sides. While they've taken the ambiguous stance of stating that they're not sure whether they'll extend a qualifying offer, I have to imagine that a QO is firmly out of the question after Uehara's late-season struggles. While most players prefer the security of a multi-year deal and are therefore disinclined to take the QO, the 40-year-old Uehara almost certainly wouldn't be able to top that mark and would likely accept.
While Uehara certainly has a good relationship with Boston, he said in an interview with the Boston Globe's Peter Abraham this summer that he's willing to go to any club in free agency: "The experience with the Red Sox has been fun. The World Series and now being selected an All-Star. But I don't have any specific teams that I want to play for. Any team that wants me the most is fine."
Any team in need of bullpen help on a short-term deal would be interested in Uehara, though given his age, it seems that he would likely limit himself to contending clubs in hopes off reaching another World Series. In addition to the Red Sox, I'd imagine that the Yankees, Dodgers, Tigers, Nationals, Cardinals and Giants could all show interest in Uehara.
Expected Contract
Uehara hasn't given any indication that he's only looking to play one more season, so it seems possible that he could get some offers of both the one- and two-year variety. On a two-year deal, given his age and poor results over his final five weeks or so, I have a difficult time envisioning him signing for a fair AAV.
While Uehara certainly may prefer the security of playing on a multi-year deal after going year-to-year for so long, there might not be much upside for him taking a lower AAV to lock in the second year. If he could find a one-year offer similar to the $10MM deal Mariano Rivera signed prior to the 2013 season, Uehara could eclipse his theoretical ceiling on a two-year guarantee even with a somewhat diminished performance in 2015. Unless he blows out his arm, it seems reasonable that he could expect to find $5-6MM next winter with any sort of reasonable success, and possibly quite a bit more.
This seems to me to be a matter of preference for the player (one-year at a higher AAV or two years with some additional security), but the I'm predicting that Uehara will sign a one-year, $11MM contract.

Cafardo On Moore, Cespedes, Markakis, Giants
If the Royals win the World Series it would be difficult to imagine GM Dayton Moore leaving for the Braves' vacancy. However, those who know Moore well say that he felt comfortable in Atlanta, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe writes. On top of that, the Braves would offer Moore a bigger budget to work with. More from today's column..
- Word is spreading that the Red Sox could make Yoenis Cespedes available. The slugger will make $10.2MM in the final year of his deal and his desire not to play right field or work on his defense could spell the end of his time in Boston. A Cespedes deal would allow the Sox to make room for Mookie Betts or add a left-handed hitter.
- The Giants are a team to watch when Nick Markakis hits the open market as expected. Even though they're enjoying Travis Ishikawa's work, they are unlikely to commit to him as an everyday left fielder. The Mets could also be in the mix.
- One agent believes Jake Peavy has turned his next contract from a one-year, $7MM deal into a three-year, $36MM deal based on his second half with the Giants. Cafardo notes that the Giants won't re-sign Ryan Vogelsong and with little help coming from Triple-A, they'll likely have to bite on a Peavy deal.
- There have been preliminary talks between the Red Sox and Koji Uehara about staying in Boston,but the sides aren't close to a deal.

Red Sox Notes: Tomas, Castillo, Uehara, Alvarez
Despite their outfield logjam, the Red Sox will be in attendance for Yasmani Tomas' showcase in the Dominican Republic on Sunday, writes Rob Bradford of WEEI.com. Bradford spoke with Boston's newest outfielder, Rusney Castillo, about his countryman and received strong reviews. "He's a really high quality baseball player, and a really good person," said Castillo through an interpreter. "He's got a ton of power. For his physique, he actually moves pretty well. He's pretty quick for a big guy." Castillo agrees with scouting reports that say Tomas isn't the same athlete that Yasiel Puig or Yoenis Cespedes is, but likened his power to that of Jose Abreu.
More from Bradford and some additional pieces on the Red Sox…
- Red Sox owner John Henry told Bradford, via email, that the team's near-miss on Abreu fueled the club's aggressiveness on Castillo. Boston bid just $5MM less than the White Sox did to secure Abreu, prompting Henry to admit: "Yes, the financial aspects were impacted by coming close on Abreu. The White Sox did their homework."
- GM Ben Cherington appeared on the Dennis & Callahan radio show to discuss a number of Red Sox topics, and WEEI's Jerry Spar has some highlights. Cherington said that while the team doesn't consider Castillo to be have one elite tool, they feel he's very good in a lot of categories and should be a quality Major League outfielder. Cherington stopped short, however, of proclaiming Castillo the team's center fielder in 2015. (The Arizona Fall League announced today that Castillo will play there this offseason, which should give Boston more time to make that evaluation.) He also addressed the Mookie Betts situation, noting that the team most likely projects Betts as an outfielder moving forward and has not discussed playing him at third base.
- "I think it's safe to say we would still have interest in keeping him here," Cherington said in that same appearance when asked about Koji Uehara. Cherington praised Uehara's accountability during his recent rough patch, and that accountability is an appealing factor when pursuing a new contract. Boston has yet to make an offer or discuss a new contract with Uehara at this time, per Cherington.
- As John Tomase of the Boston Herald points out, the Red Sox, by some metrics, have had the worst production in the league at third base. As such, they'll be on the hunt for third basemen with power this offseason, preferably ones that hit left-handed or are switch-hitters in order to balance out a right-leaning lineup. Tomase expects Pedro Alvarez to be on the team's list, as the club tried desperately to sign him as a 14th-round pick out of high school back in 2005. Boston was willing to offer Alvarez $850K and showed a late willingness to push the number closer to Alvarez's $1MM asking price, but he instead attended Vanderbilt. The decision paid off, as Alvarez was drafted No. 2 overall and received a $6MM signing bonus from the Pirates three years later. Tomase speculates that a swap of underachieving third basemen — Alvarez and Will Middlebrooks — might make sense for both clubs (presumably, other pieces would be required in such a deal).
- The right-leaning nature of Boston's lineup is the focus of the latest from Tony Massarotti of the Boston Globe, who notes that the Sox currently project to have just one regular lefty bat in the lineup next season — David Ortiz. While others such as Brock Holt, Jackie Bradley and the switch-hitting Daniel Nava could be worked into the mix, the team cannot afford to have such a glaring deficiency, as other clubs will exploit it, writes Massarotti.

AL East Notes: Walker, Maeda, Uehara, Castillo, Melky, Rays
The Orioles announced today that they have selected the contract of first base prospect Christian Walker for the final few games of the season. Walker, 23, was Baltimore's fourth-round pick in 2013 and batted a combined .288/.357/.489 between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk this season. As Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com explains, Baltimore will take a look at Walker while resting Steve Pearce over the remainder of the regular season. The team was hesitant to add Walker to the 40-man roster, as he did not need to be protected from the Rule 5 Draft this winter, but they decided to give him a mini-audition of sorts (Twitter links). No moves were needed to clear a spot in light of the suspension of Chris Davis, tweets Rich Dubroff of CSNBaltimore.com.
Here's more from the American League East…
- The Red Sox have interest in Japanese hurler Kenta Maeda, tweets Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, but that interest is similar to their interest in many free agent starters, including Francisco Liriano. That is to say, according to Bradford, that Boston considers him a middle-of-the-rotation arm rather than an ace to slot atop the team's starting five.
- The struggles of Koji Uehara have not changed the interest of the Red Sox in bringing him back, GM Ben Cherington tells Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe (via Twitter). After showing excellent form for much of the season, Uehara's age-39 campaign took a quick downturn from mid-August onward. He remains a tantalizing free agent, however, given his recent track record of dominance.
- For the time being, of course, all eyes will be on Rusney Castillo tonight as he makes his debut for the Red Sox. But with so little time left in the season, his real work will come over the winter, as Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports. Castillo is expected to play in both the Arizona Fall League and the Puerto Rican Winter League as he looks to dial in his play in anticipation of competing for a starting job next spring.
- Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos expects Melky Cabrera to test the free agent market rather than sign an extension, writes Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. While reports have indicated that Cabrera will receive a qualifying offer and Toronto hopes to retain him on a new multi-year deal, Anthopoulos said that it just makes sense for most players who get to this point to see what's out there. Anthopoulos added that he's open to bringing back any of the team's pending free agents if it makes financial sense.
- The Rays' immediate future is not promising, in the opinion of Gary Shelton of the Tampa Bay Times. With the team expected to oversee a drop in payroll, it will take bounce-backs from several key players (such as Wil Myers and Evan Longoria) to improve the team moving forward. For his part, skipper Joe Maddon says that he foresees a return to form for Tampa, especially given the team's talented pitching staff. "I just want to believe it'll be more offensive," Maddon said of next year's club. "Whether it's with the guys who are here or potential acquisitions."
