Last week, the Blue Bombers made a substantial multi-year offer to Burris to take over the starters role. In a telling move, the veteran pivot turned down the offer, choosing instead to join the expansion Redblacks, assuming he thinks they offer a better chance at immediate success. Do you agree? Are the Redblacks a better option than the Blue Bombers right now? Last season, the Blue Bombers struggled to a 3-15 season and replaced head coach Tim Burke with Mike OShea, the likeable special teams coordinator from the Toronto Argonauts. Marcel Bellefeuille is back as the offensive coordinator, a position he took over last August. Changes are happening in the Manitoba capital in hopes of turning things around in short order. And in a league the size of the CFL, teams have gone from worst to competitive on many occasions so the Blue Bombers could very well make the playoffs as early as next season. Expansion teams rarely compete for a playoff spot In Ottawa, winning is not expected to come quickly. With a roster made up of players who were left exposed by existing teams in the expansion draft, it will take some time to build a successful organization. Thats what makes this move surprising. At 38 years of age, Burris window to win is small and yet, he decided the Redblacks offered a better opportunity than the Blue Bombers. Secondly, by making the offer to Burris after his release from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the Blue Bombers made it clear who their starting quarterback would be in Week 1. There would be competition in training camp but the job would be his to lose. The situation is not so clear cut in the nations capital. Burris will have fellow veteran Glenn, who likely thought he had the inside track on the starters role before Tuesdays move, and De Marco, likely the quarterback of the future, to contend with. While the early nod may go to Burris, the other two candidates bring their own talents to the table and will be gunning for that top job. Many factors go into making the kind of decision Burris made on Tuesday and winning is usually at or near the top of the list for professional athletes. Taking everything into consideration, Burris decided Ottawa was a better fit than Winnipeg. Do you agree? Which team do you think offers the best opportunity to win now: Redblacks or Blue Bombers?

"It wasnt just sitting behind the plate with a radar gun," Texas general manager Jon Daniels said. Sure, that was part of the process of scouting Darvish. But Rangers scouts in the Pacific Rim who watched just about every one of his starts in recent seasons and other team officials also spent time developing a personal relationship with the pitcher and his family. "Theyve probably seen about 50 games the last two years, they were very thorough in how they evaluated," said Don Nomura, one of Darvishs agents. "We knew they were very interested in Yu, and Im glad it was the Texas Rangers that won the bid." That familiarity with each other should help the 25-year-old Darvish with the cultural transition he faces playing in the United States and the major leagues. Arn Tellem, the other agent, said all the effort by the Rangers to build a personal connection was "very significant" to Darvish, who agreed Wednesday to a $60 million, six-year contract with the two-time defending American League champions. The deal was finished at the end of a 30-day exclusive negotiating window for Texas that began when its record $51,703,411 posting bid was accepted last month by the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters, Darvishs team in Japans Pacific League. Though negotiations went down to the final minutes before a deadline when Darvish would have stayed in Japan without a deal, Daniels said talks were never contentious since they knew each other so well. "It wasnt like the clock started on Day 1 and we were a brand new entity. They were open with us and talked with us and gave us access," Daniels said. "You hear about other negotiations where youre completely shut off from the player or the family, and it wasnt handled that way." Darvish, whose only previous visit to Texas was two weeks ago, was expected back Friday night to be formally introduced by his new team. Texas appointed a director of Pacific Rim operations just more than four years ago, and has since expanded to three full-time scouts and a couple of part-timers who scout the area that includes Japan. With the bigger presence there, the Rangers got to see and bring back starter Colby Lewis, a supplemental first-round pick by Texas in 1999 who revived his career with two seaasons in Japan.dddddddddddd Right-handed reliever Yoshinori Tateyama, a teammate of Darvishs with the Fighters, joined the Rangers last year. "Weve had more and more of our American professional scouts and some of our best evaluators go over there, just knowing that, not just with Yu, that there was going to be opportunity," Daniels said. They turned quite a bit of their attention the last couple of seasons toward Darvish, the 6-foot-5 right-hander who is a two-time Pacific League MVP. He had a 93-38 record with a 1.99 ERA in 167 games the past seven seasons in Japan, and pitched an average of 205 innings the past five years. "As it became more and more evident, whether it was this year or next year at some point there was a chance Yu would get posted, we really ramped up our efforts," said Daniels, one of 12 different Rangers officials or scouts who watched Darvish pitch in Japan just last season. "We knew the size of the investment was going to be big and we were going to have to be really thorough in our presentation to ownership and be convicted if this is what we decided to do," he said. "Our guys really did their homework, and we feel really good about the process." So do Darvishs agents, who said Texas is where the pitcher wanted to play in the majors. The Rangers talked to Darvishs teammates in Japan, players who competed against him, his managers, coaches and people who knew him outside of baseball. "You heard the same thing time after time," Daniels said. "This is a guy thats really committed to his craft, that wants to be the best and wants to win on the biggest stage." Texas President and Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, who has watched film and first met the pitcher earlier this month, called Darvish a unique talent who clearly has the potential to be a No. 1 starter in the majors. But the Rangers arent yet putting that kind of expectation on him even with their huge financial investment. "What you hope is that he comes to spring training and that hes comfortable and that he fits into the routine, and doesnt put a lot of pressure on himself to try to prove that hes worthy of the consideration that he got and also of the attention that is going to brought to him," Ryan said. "If he comes in and doesnt put a lot of pressure on himself, the transition should go fairly well." Darvish doesnt have to impress the Rangers. They already know him. cheap nfl jerseys \' \' \'
