We go from the biggest game of the year http://www.seahawksauthorizeds…..nes-jersey , to absolutely nothing coming from the league. The offseason is the worst. But that’s what has driven this immense focus on new talent coming into the league. Every year, there’s a focus on trying to figure out who will be the league’s next star. NCAA football is a multi-billion-dollar industry because it’s the breeding ground for the NFL’s upcoming talent.So, we all can’t help it. As collegiate athletes tear up the highlight reel and rake in the awards, we all can’t help but predict if that success will translate into the NFL. And it feels so good when a college star continues their success in the NFL. It happens sometimes, but we often see guys star in college, then fall out of the spotlight before Week 1 of the regular season.Then there is another group. This group is the one that this list ranks. This group of guys has a different career trajectory. These are the guys who were absolute stars in college. That turned into a first round draft pick along with some very lofty expectations. The craziest part is that everyone on this list exceeded those expectations at first. But then reality quickly sunk in and each of the following used-to-be stars faded from relevance, and either was pushed out of the league or is struggling to maintain a roster spot in the NFL. (The guy who is at the top of this list doesn’t match that criteria. He’s still in the league and has a solidified roster spot. But he won’t by the end of next season.)
Asked how the Atlanta Braves have surprised many experts by establishing a three-game lead in the National League East at the season’s halfway point Ugo Amadi Jersey , catcher Kurt Suzuki didn’t hesitate.

“This team has no fear,” he said Saturday night after an 11-4 victory in St. Louis. “We have a lot of young guys but we also have some veterans. We approach every game the same way.”

Atlanta’s consistency has been too much for the Cardinals this weekend. Behind solid starting pitching and an explosive offense, the Braves (47-34) have outscored St. Louis 16-5 in winning the series’ first two games. They go for a sweep on Sunday at Busch Stadium.

Right-hander Mike Foltynewicz (5-4, 2.14 ERA) will try to match what Julio Teheran and Max Fried have done in the series. Neither allowed a run in a combined 12 2/3 innings, with Fried enjoying the best outing of his short big league career Saturday night.

The former first-round pick of the San Diego Padres allowed only four hits and three walks in 6 2/3 innings, recording 11 strikeouts against the whiff-prone Cardinals. The hard-throwing Foltynewicz made his return from the 10-day disabled list Monday night, allowing one hit and one run in five innings while walking four and fanning four against Cincinnati in a no-decision.

“The arm was just kind of heavy Dwayne Haskins Jersey ,” he said to mlb.com. “You can’t really practice these situations when you’re out there with your adrenaline running, but just a couple of times I just couldn’t really extend too far. But adrenaline pushed me through.”

Foltynewicz has faced St. Louis three times in his career, going 1-2 with a 9.95 ERA and yielding a whopping 22 hits over 12 2/3 innings.

In an attempt to avoid a fourth straight loss, the Cardinals (42-39) will turn to former Atlanta prospect John Gant (2-2, 3.48). Gant, replacing the disabled Michael Wacha in the rotation, pitched the best game of his career Monday night David Long Jersey , limiting Cleveland to an infield single by Yan Gomes over seven innings in a 5-0 victory.

Gant walked five and fanned four, but his off-speed pitches kept the Indians off-balance all game and enabled him to post his first win as a starter.

“We’re lucky the third base bag got in the way of Gomes’ (grounder) or we wouldn’t have had anything,” Cleveland manager Terry Francona said to mlb.com of Gant’s performance.

Before plating four runs in the ninth inning Saturday night, St. Louis managed two runs in its previous 26 innings. Its offense has been primarily singles and homers, as it’s on pace for the fewest doubles and triples in the majors.

Help may be on the way when the Cardinals start a nine-game road trip Monday night against Arizona. Shortstop Paul DeJong may be activated off the disabled list after a weekend rehab stint for Triple-A Memphis.

That could result in the move of first baseman Jose Martinez, who’s on a 100-RBI pace but has been poor afield, to his natural outfield position. In fact http://www.losangelesramsteamo…..ans-jersey , Martinez played the last three innings Saturday night in right field.

“Jose Martinez has earned a spot in the lineup every day, so we have to figure out a spot to play him,” general manager Michael Girsch said to mlb.com.
