In the end it came down to one thing for Essendon; Andrew McGrath is a winner.The Bombers began Friday nights draft in Sydney by claiming McGrath, an explosive midfielder from TAC Cup club Sandringham Dragons, with the first No.1 pick in the clubs history.The top pick in most recent drafts has been obvious from a long way out but the quality and depth of this talent pool required Essendon to do their homework diligently.Hes a winner ... hes a leader and theyre hard to find, so that was probably the major reason we decided to take him, Essendon list manager Adrian Dodoro said.He performs at a high level and when he performs he wins.I think what sets him apart is his mindset ... hes just really mentally tough.He rises to every challenge thats put before him and he plays in every part of the ground.The Dragons contributed an impressive seven players at this draft.Greater Western Sydney opted for Sandringham mid Tim Taranto with the second overall pick, with Brisbane pouncing on North Ballarat onballer Hugh McCluggage at No.3.Gold Coast dominated early proceedings at Sydneys Hordern Pavilion and the Suns selected three midfielders and a defender with their four picks inside the top 10.AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheahan declared this years talent pool heavy with midfielders and the first round proved him right.Most players picked early were midfielders or projected to move into the middle as they gained AFL experience.Fremantle chose a tall defender, local product Griffin Logue of Swan Districts, at No.8 and Port Adelaide snared a tall forward - the Murray Bushrangers Todd Marshall at No.18.The Western Bulldogs finished off the first round with the only ruckman picked early - South Fremantles Tim English.Six clubs - Collingwood, St Kilda, Geelong, Richmond, Hawthorn and Melbourne - didnt have a pick in the first round after dealing them away during the trade period.The Pies snared both their father-son targets, matching a North Melbourne bid for Gavin Browns son Callum at pick 35 and securing Peter Daicos son Josh at pick 57 after no other clubs bid for him.West Coast landed Chris Watermans son Jake with the 77th and final pick of the draft.Those arent the only famous names to return to the AFL. The Saints picked Ben Long, the nephew of Michael Long, with their first selection at pick 25.Willie Rioli, cousin to Hawthorns Cyril and Richmonds Daniel, will play for West Coast after the Eagles swooped at pick 52.However, Ben Jarman, son of Adelaide and Hawthorn great Darren, did not get picked up, leaving the Crows to claim him at Mondays rookie draft.Mature-age players were also well-represented as Geelong picked Tom Stewart and Timm House from the Cats VFL side and Ryan Abbott from the Grovedale Tigers in the local Geelong league.Melbourne also selected Footscray VFL forward Mitch Hannan and the Giants threw delisted Docker Matt de Boer a lifeline, selecting the defender with the 58th pick overall.The Hawks were the last club into the draft, picking up Murray Bushrangers defender Harry Morrison at pick 74.After letting Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis go during the trade period, Hawthorns second and final pick at No.76, was key forward Mitchell Lewis from the Calder Canons.The Demons were the only other club to have just two picks, while Brisbane, Carlton, Geelong and GWS stocked up with six players each.Carlos Gomez Jersey .

Let us know which side youre on for UFC 167 use the hashtag #TeamLynch or #TeamJC on Twitter.BALTIMORE -- The Los Angeles Angels had just matched their longest winning streak of the season, yet the mood in the clubhouse was somber.Their 9-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night came at a cost: First baseman C.J. Cron fractured his left hand when struck by a pitch from Mike Wright in the sixth inning.He was placed on the 15-day disabled list after the game and will see a specialist on Monday.Cron had 17 RBI over his last eight games, including two in this one. Since May 30, he hit six home runs and raised his batting average from .237 to .278.Its a blow to us and to C.J., who really picked it up, manager Mike Scioscia said. But were going to have to keep going. Get some other bats in the lineup and hopefully theyll be productive.Standing in front of his locker and wearing a soft cast, Cron said softly, You never want to get hurt, especially under these circumstances. Were finally starting to get some wins. Its bad timing for sure.Daniel Nava had two RBI and Mike Trout scored three runs for the Angels, who have won four straight. Los Angeles built an 8-1 lead in the fourth inning and coasted to the finish.Matt Shoemaker (4-9) allowed three runs and five hits in five-plus innings to earn his first win since May 27. The right-hander was 0-4 in his previous eight starts despite owning a respectable 3.08 ERA over that span.The bottom line is were pitching better, Scioscia said. Shoe went through a tough lineup and gave us a chance. Thats where it has to start.Los Angeles did most of its damage against Ubaldo Jimenez (5-9), who gave up five runs, five hits and two walks in 1 1/3 innings. Many in the crowd of 44,317 began booing the right-hander in the first inning, and they cheered when manager Buck Showalter finally walked to the mound to summon help from the bullpen.Theres no doubt about it, this is the toughest thing that I have had to face, said Jimenez, whose ERA rose to 7.38. I have to keep going, keep working hard and hopefully find something thats going to get me out of this thinng.ddddddddddddAdam Jones homered on Shoemakers first pitch, and the Orioles also got long balls from Jonathan Schoop and Mark Trumbo.Jones shot got Baltimore to 2-1, and two batters later Manny Machado sent a drive toward the seats in left. Nava gauged the flight of the ball while backing up, shifted to his right at the last second and reached into the front row to rob Machado of his 20th home run.Baltimores rocky night was personified by consecutive errors committed by three-time Gold Glove shortstop J.J. Hardy in the fourth inning. The miscues doubled his error total for the season.After Jimenez departed, Wright hit three batters over the course of his 4 2/3-inning stint.Schoop was plunked in the helmet by Cam Bedrosian in the sixth, prompting home plate umpire Mike Everitt to issue a warning to both clubs.ROSTER MOVESThe Angels put Cron on the DL, optioned C Carlos Perez to Triple-A Salt Lake, activated C Geovany Soto from the DL and recalled 1B Ji-Man Choi.50 YEARS LATERThe Orioles paid tribute to the 1966 World Series champions with a pregame ceremony and by wearing replica uniforms of that team. Informed that the 66 Orioles used only four pitchers in a sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Showalter exclaimed, Cmon man, we use four (by) the third inning!TRAINERS ROOMAngels: LHP Tyler Skaggs (shoulder) threw 75 pitches in a rehab assignment on Thursday night. We definitely are hoping hes going to be with us and maybe part of our rotation at some point, Scioscia said.Orioles: LHP T.J. McFarland (left knee inflammation) will see Dr. James Andrews on Monday for a second opinion.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Nick Tropeano (3-2, 3.28 ERA) makes his 12th start of the season and first of his career against the Orioles on Saturday.Orioles: RHP Yovani Gallardo (3-1, 6.10) has been in the league since 2007, yet he has only faced the Angels once. He allowed five runs in four innings last year. ' ' '
