HOUSTON -- It was just over a year ago that Alex Bregman finished his career at LSU. Now, hes a major leaguer.Bregman made his big league debut for the Astros on Monday night against the New York Yankees after flying through the minors. He was drafted No. 2 overall in the 2015 draft and is considered one of the top prospects in baseball by many.Its been a fun last year, Bregman said before the game. Its been everything I could ever dream of. Its just getting started now. Im excited.Bregman was drafted as a shortstop but has begun to make the transition to playing third base and even left field this season in the minors. He started at third base and batted sixth for the Astros on Monday.The 22-year-old said he will play wherever the Astros want him, and manager A.J. Hinch said he may move Bregman around.Weve tried to introduce him to a couple positions, part of it out of need, Hinch said. Hell be introduced to left field up here, he will DH, he can spell some guys up the middle if I choose to, but he has to earn it.Hinch was very complimentary of Bregman, calling him polished with a high baseball IQ and a quick bat.Hinch wasnt alone in his compliments of Bregman.Hes very humble, he knows how to play the game the right way and he knows what kind of player he is, said shortstop Carlos Correa, who was the No. 1 overall pick in 2012 and called up midseason in 2015. Hes going to contribute in a big way.Bregman tore through the minors by hitting a combined .306 with 20 home runs and 61 RBI between Double-A and Triple-A this season. He also played in the All-Star Futures Game, falling a triple shy of the cycle.Not many players get to the big leagues this quickly, general manager Jeff Luhnow said. Occasionally, you see a pitcher do it, but for a position player, this is really unchartered territory. We want to be sure. We want to give him a chance to play a couple different positions. Hes demonstrated hes as ready as he can be.Authentic Air Max 90 .

Authentic Air Max 270 . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse.With its College Football Playoff hopes all but dashed with a stunning 35-34 loss at Texas last week, Baylor tries to refocus and make a run for another Big 12 Conference championship when it hosts TCU on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX).The No. 17 Bears (6-1, 3-1 Big 12), who play conference leading Oklahoma (6-2, 5-0) next week in Norman, had what might best be described as a rough 48 hours last weekend.Last Friday, on the eve of the Bears game at Texas, the Wall Street Journal reported specific numbers that have come out of the schools investigation of its Title IX problems which cost coach Art Briles his job last May. The story attributed Baylor regents in reporting that 19 football players were involved in 17 reports of sexual or domestic violence, a statistic that included four alleged gang rapes.Then on Saturday in Austin, Texas defeated the Bears to put an end to any CFP hopes.Acting coach Jim Grobe, whose key job function it seems this season is to smile during press conferences and attempt to say the right thing, did more of the same at his weekly presser Monday.What we try to do, as much as anything, is just stay positive, Grobe said. Going forward, we can only control day-to-day and week-to-week and try to get ready every week. Try to avoid distractions and stay focused on winning.To Grobes credit, hes stuck to his role, keeping focus on the positive aspects of the Bears program, sidestepping tricky questions and maintaining his smile. Its not his fault that the Baylor athletic department hasnt shown contrition among ever-worsening reports.Really, really disappointed. Really down, Grobe said of his teams mood after its first loss. Its funny (but) I think players bounce back a little quicker than coaches do. Coaches might have been a little bit more down even than the players. I just told the guys, I thought we lost our focus a little bit. I think we got concerned with officiating and thats not our job. Our job is just to play.The good news for the Bears is that they get to return home to McLane Stadium, where they are 14-2 with an average scoring margin of 27 points. And they face a TCU (4-4, 2-3) squad that has its own share of issues after losing three of four games, including surprisingly at quarterback.Starting quaarterback Kenny Hill was pulled in favor of sophomore Foster Sawyer from last weeks 27-24 double-overtime loss to Texas Tech after throwing his 10th interception of the season and coach Gary Patterson confessed that it wasnt he who brought the hook.dddddddddddd didnt pull him, Patterson said at a press conference. Sonny did.Sonny would be co-offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie, who doubles as quarterbacks coach.Scoring has been a problem of late as the Horned Frogs are averaging just 19.3 points over their last three games. Hill was 16-of-29 passing for 160 yards with a long of 19 when he was removed against the Red Raiders. Sawyers accuracy was even worse as he completed 6 of 17 passes for 86 yards and one touchdown.We werent playing very well, Patterson said of the quarterback switch. Both guys have got to play better. When they turn you loose, youve got to make plays.Hill is expected to remain the starter this week.The Horned Frogs got some good news on the injury front. Running back Kyle Hicks, who injured his left ankle in the loss to Texas Tech, was listed as probable by Patterson. Hicks has carried the ground game with 597 yards and seven touchdowns so his absence would have been a huge blow for the Horned Frogs. Hicks also is tied for the team lead with 31 receptions.Baylor quarterback Seth Russell also expects to play Saturday but will continue to be monitored for potential concussion-like symptoms throughout the week.Russell began feeling nauseous and groggy about 90 minutes after the loss to Texas. His CT scan for concussion-like symptoms was negative.I feel great, Russell told the Waco Tribune. (Sunday) I felt a little groggy just from a hard fought game for the most part. But I woke up this morning with a lot of energy. I definitely feel like Im going to play. Im going through concussion protocol, thats what everybody wants me to do.Russell, who missed the last six games of the 2015 season with a broken neck, took numerous hard hits from the Texas defense. In 15 career starts he has thrown 52 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions while compiling a 14-1 record.The series is tied 52-52-7. ' ' '
