  10. Pool of pitchers grows as Astros sign Hernandez Outfielder Gorneault also signed to minor-league deal The Astros added another arm to the pool of contenders for the starting rotation by signing right-hander Runelvys Hernandez to a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training. Outfielder Nick Gorneault, who is more realistically competing for a job at Class AAA Round Rock, also was signed to a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training. Hernandez, a former top prospect in the Kansas City Royals organization, has not pitched in the majors since 2006. From 2002 through 2006, with the exception of the 2004 season, the Dominican Republic native compiled a 25-33 record with a 5.38 ERA while throwing 435 1/3 innings over 78 games with the Royals. Hernandez, 29, struggled at Class AAA in 2007 while pitching in the Boston Red Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees organizations, combining for a 1-7 record and 4.35 ERA. But Astros director of Latin American scouting Felix Francisco saw Hernandez closely at the Dominican Winter League, where he just posted a 4.91 ERA over three starts and three relief appearances for the Leones del Escogido. “We had Felix Francisco see him pitch several times in the Dominican,†Astros general manager Ed Wade said of Hernandez. “He’s got big league experience and he’s always had a good arm. “We just figured we’d put him in the mix and see how he performs. We still think if we can add some depth at least to the competition at spring training it’s a good thing. At the same time we like the guys we have in the mix.†Gorneault, 28, spent most of last year at Class AAA Salt Lake and broke through to the majors for the first time by playing in two games with the Los Angeles Angels. “Gorneault’s got some big league experience and Ricky (Bennett, one of the assistant general managers) was trying to add depth at Round Rock,†Wade said. The Astros have all the starting spots in the outfield settled and quite a few players competing for backup spots, so he is likely fighting to make an impression while being headed to Round Rock after hitting .261 last year with 19 home runs and 59 RBIs at Salt

  15. Golden Boy CEO: Mayweather-De La Hoya II could come in September The richest fight in boxing history is on the verge of getting a sequel. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya, who shattered box office records when they met last spring, are close to finishing a deal for a rematch, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com Wednesday. "We are still discussing things but we have almost finalized it," said Schaefer, who heads De La Hoya's promotional company. "I think an announcement will be forthcoming." Schaefer said the fight would be Sept. 13 or Sept. 20 on HBO pay-per-view. He said the site for Mayweather-De La Hoya II has not been settled but he is holding the September dates at the 27,000-seat Home Depot Center, the outdoor home to the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer. He said other venues are also interested, including the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. A source also told ESPN.com Wednesday night that Dodger Stadium was interested in hosting the fight after L.A. native De La Hoya suggested he'd like to fight there before retiring. Mayweather won a split decision to take De La Hoya's junior middleweight belt when they met May 5 at the MGM Grand. The match between boxing's No. 1 fighter, Mayweather, and its greatest attraction, De La Hoya, was a success and, ultimately, a rematch was hard to pass up. "Floyd is agreeable to do the fight and so is Oscar," Schaefer said. "Now it's just me working through everything." Although De La Hoya has said he planned to return to the welterweight division and Mayweather is the welterweight world champion, Schaefer said the weight for a rematch hadn't been determined. He said it could be at a catch weight somewhere between the 147-pound welterweight division and 154-pound junior middleweight class. "It's something we are discussing," he said. Backed by five-months of promotion, which included an 11-city cross-country tour and HBO's reality series "De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7," the first fight broke boxing box office records including total gross ($165 million); pay-per-view subscriptions (2.4 million); pay-per-view gross ($134.4 million) and live gate ($18,419,200). Although the fight was panned by many for a lack of action and the rematch probably won't approach the numbers of the original, it still figures to do well. De La Hoya had planned to return to the ring May 3, but didn't have an opponent. The prospect of facing British star Ricky Hatton, his first choice, evaporated when Mayweather returned to welterweight and knocked Hatton out in the 10th round on Dec. 8. Welterweight titleholder Miguel Cotto was a darkhorse candidate to fight De La Hoya. Cotto promoter Bob Arum acknowledged it was unlikely. He spent Wednesday in New York meeting with HBO executives about an alternative plan for Cotto, who probably will fight in April, possibly against first-season "Contender" star Alfonso Gomez. Hatton's lopsided defeat left Mayweather as De La Hoya's most lucrative opponent. But instead of facing him on Cinco De Mayo weekend, the rematch will move to the fall because Mayweather is taking a break after a grueling 2007 inside and out of the ring. Mayweather's fights with De La Hoya and Hatton were the biggest of the year and the promotions were exhausting. He also found mainstream recognition during his fall run on the popular reality series "Dancing with the Stars." A rematch with De La Hoya (38-5, 30 KOs) would delay Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs) jumping to mixed martial arts, which he has discussed with "Dancing with the Stars" pal and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who also owns his own MMA promotional company. Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's adviser and close friend, was unavailable for comment. With De La Hoya moving off May 3, it is possible that his friend and Golden Boy Promotions partner Shane Mosley could fight on the date instead. Dan Rafael is the boxing writer for ESPN.com.
