omplimentary of Bregman, calling him polished with a high base

Lleyton Hewitt is hoping to reunite Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic in Australias Davis Cup team for the first time in three years.Hewitt on Tuesday named Kyrgios and Tomic alongside Sam Groth and John Peers for Australias World Group playoff with Slovakia in Sydney next week.But Kyrgios is racing the clock to be fit for the grasscourt tie at Olympic Park from September 16-18 after being forced to quit his third-round US Open match with a hip injury.John Millman is on standby, with James Duckworth also in the six-man squad as an option given his ability to play both singles and doubles.Hewitt, though, is giving Kyrgios every chance to recover in time.If he does, the skipper will have top-20 stars Kyrgios and Tomic teaming up for the first time since an 18-year-old Kyrgios made his Davis Cup debut in Australias 4-1 World Group playoff win in Poland in September, 2013.Various injuries, illnesses and suspensions have prevented Kyrgios and Tomic from representing Australia together over the past three years and six ties.Obviously Id love to have those two boys leading us in the singles, Hewitt told AAP.Hopefully well have Nick. But if we dont, we still think we can put out a good outfit and we want to get back in the World Group.Weve just got to focus. Were not taking the Slovaks lightly whatsoever.But we think we can get the job done.Slovakia are likely to be led by world No.29 Martin Klizan and the 99th-ranked Lukas Lacko.With Kyrgios in doubt, Millman is suddenly in the frame for a Cup call-up.He wasnt part of it initially purely because we had to look at doubles options as well, Hewitt said.So John Peers, Grothy and Ducks were the original squad.But Millman is certainly the next best singles player and so Ill be speaking with him and working out how Nicks going and then Ill have to make a plan on that.Im definitely covering all my bases and giving ourselves the best opportunity.After a series of devastating injuries, Millman has rebuilt his career and ranking with a fine 2016 season and was unlucky to draw eighth seed Dominic Thiem in the first round at Flushing Meadows.Millman lost in five sets and Hewitt is backing the world No.66 to do the job for Australia if asked to make his debut.I thought he played really well in New York. He would have beaten a lot of players if he didnt draw a guy like Dominic Thiem, Hewitt said.That was a really high-quality match.Air Max Scontate Online .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season.

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 coomplimentary of Bregman, calling him polished with a high baseball IQ and a quick bat.ddddddddddddHinch 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. ' ' '
