Fremantle ruckman Aaron Sandilands has no concerns about making his AFL return against the man who broke his ribs, but he will consider wearing a guard just in case.He spent almost a week in hospital after suffering several broken ribs and a punctured lung while backing into a marking contest against Eagles big man Nic Naitanui in round three.The injury was so severe, Sandilands underwent surgery to insert two metal plates into his rib cage. Those plates will stay there for life.He has been back in full training for several weeks and will return in Sundays western derby against West Coast.Coincidentally, Naitanui will also make his return this weekend after missing the past six matches following surgery to remove the plantaris tendon from both legs.Sandilands insists he wont be carrying any mental scars when he goes up against Naitanui again.Not at all - Ive had enough time to recover. The body feels good, Sandilands said on Tuesday.It was a one-off accident. Im happy with where Im at.This is the week that Im ready to come back and play, and it didnt matter whoever the side was.Ive had plenty of contact within that area and they wouldnt let me back out there unless (the ribs) were 100 per cent right.Sandilands has trained with a guard on his rib cage, but he might not need it on game day.Im still undecided at the moment. So well talk with the doc and the physio this week about that, Sandilands said.Fremantle are languishing in 16th spot with just three wins to show from 18 games.With the team clearly in rebuilding mode and no chance to make the finals, some fans think it would be best to put Sandilands in cotton wool until next year.But the 33-year-old says theres plenty to gain for him by playing again this season - and his wife has been eager to see him back out on the field, too.Shes happy Im getting back out there, and (wont be) so edgy and grumpy at home, Sandilands joked.Ive got Jens full support. Shes just happy Im doing something I love.You hate sitting on the sidelines and I was always pretty confident of getting back this year.Sandilands remains one of Fremantles most-important players, with his injury absence exposing the clubs lack of ruck depth.Jon Griffin, Zac Clarke and Jack Hannath all struggled to fill the void, with Lyon describing the situation as a moving famine. Boston Celtics Store . The Masters champion and winner of last weeks Australian PGA has a three-round total of 14-under 199 at Royal Melbourne. "Im in a really good position for tomorrow," Scott said. Paul Pierce Jersey .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. https://www.cheapceltics.com/ . -- Bryant McKinnie came out of his stance and lowered his shoulder into a practice squad player, causing a crisp thud to reverberate in the Miami Dolphins practice bubble. Bill Russell Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. K. C. Jones Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable.The other day, I was reading about a marathon minor-league game in Moosic, Pennsylvania. It was between Scranton Wilkes-Barre, the Yankees triple A affiliate and the Detroit Tigers farm club, the Toledo Mudhens. The game started at 7:05pm and didnt end until 12:32am, lasting 20 innings in all before Scranton Wilkes-Barre won it 2-1, on a line drive home run to left by Randy Ruiz. I had to pause for a second. I knew that name. Could it possibly be the same Randy Ruiz who played for the Blue Jays? Turns out it was, and he is still grinding it out in the minors at age 35, looking for another shot at The Show. Ruiz is only a footnote in Blue Jays history and a brief one at that. The 63, 250 pound minor-league slugger had a brief stint with the Minnesota Twins in 2008 and hit his first homer and only major-league homer of that year. That same season, he was named the International League rookie of the year for his work at Rochester at age 30! He still holds the Rochester record with a 24-game hit streak. In the off-season, Ruiz was signed by the Blue Jays to play Triple A at Las Vegas. Though not really adept at any particular position, Ruiz hit so well, he eventually got called up to the Blue Jays. Over a 33-game stint, Ruiz hit .313 with 10 homers and 17 runs batted in. That gave rise to the idea that maybe the Blue Jays had captured lightning in a bottle and, at the very least, the Jays would have a solid DH and decent bat off the bench. But the magic disappeared in 2010 when Ruiz only lasted 13 games with the club. He hit his 12th and final home runs in the Majors and batted just .150 before getting cut loose. Ruiz has played ball in Japan and in his parents native Puerto Rico most winters. This spring at 35, he signed on with the Chicago White Sox but was cut loose again and landed in Mexico, where the Yankees discovered him and signed him for Scrantoon Wilkes-Barre.dddddddddddd In total, Ruiz has played in 12 Major League organizations, including the Yankees and the Phillies twice each. Is he nearing the end? Hard to say. Teams are always looking for power bats, even to just fill out their minor league rosters. Its interesting how Ruiz joined the Blue Jays in the first place. General manager Alex Anthopoulos put Alex Rios and his huge contract on waivers to see if their would be any takers. Lo and behold, the White Sox claimed Rios, saved the Jays alot of money and opened up a spot on the 40-man roster. That spot went to Ruiz, who went on to become the Pacific Coast League Most Valuable Player in that same season he was called up to the Blue Jays. Crash Davis of Bull Durham has nothing on this guy. Trade Watch The Major League non-waiver trade deadline is coming up at 4pm on Wednesday. White Sox right hander Jake Peavy says hes already got his bags packed and is ready to move on. Maybe the most under-rated trade of last years deadline involved St. Louis and Miami. The Cardinals dealt third base prospect Zach Cox, whom they had chosen 25th overall in the first round of the 2010 Draft to the Marlins for a journeyman reliever out of Venezuela by the name of Edward Mujica, who figured to be just one more arm in the bullpen this season for the Redbirds. Early in the season though, Jason Motte, who had 42 save for St. Louis a year ago, was injured and gone for the season, Mujica stepped into the breach and has racked up 30 saves in 32 chances, tied with the Pirates now-injured closer Jason Grilli. The 29-year-old Mujica has struck out 38 and walked only two to become a first-time All-Star this year. Hes making $3.2 million this season and is eligible for free agency after next season. The Cardinals struck gold on a trade that probably slipped under most peoples radar last July. ' ' '
