Ontheair TheAssociatedPress SANTA CLARA The San Francisco 49ers have re- signed running back Shaun Draughn to a one- year contract. The deal reached Wednesday prevents Draughn from becoming an unrestricted free agent next week. Draughn originally signed with San Francisco in November and started six games last season. He rushed 76 times for 263 yards and a touchdown in six games for the Niners before being placed on in- jured reserve with a knee injury. He also caught 25 passes for 175 yards. Draughn also played five games last season with Cleveland before being released in Octo- ber. Draughn has 151 ca- reer carries for 527 yards and one touchdown in 41 games since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2011. NFL 49ers re-sign running back Draughn and made an impressive throw on the run. Samardzija didn't often receive those kinds of fa- vors from the White Sox infield last season. And Tomlinson will not be his regular shortstop. That job belongs to a reigning Gold Glove winner, Brandon Crawford, who was the des- ignated hitter in Wednes- day's lineup. "That's what I'm talking about," said Samardzija, the laugh lines crinkling his angular face. "Those are big plays. Gets you out of an inning, saves you 12 pitches and that's why I love to see plays like that." Samardzija threw 32 pitches over two innings while working with Buster Posey,whowasn'tsupposed to start behind the plate in these first few games but requested the assignment. Posey also wants to catch Johnny Cueto as often as possible this spring in or- der to gain familiarity with the Giants' two major free- agent additions to the ro- tation. "He's eager to improve in any way possible," Posey said. "I'm not saying I'll have all the right answers, but I'm excited to work with him. Half the battle is that willingness to im- prove, and he's got the de- sire to elevate his game." Said Samardzija: "Oh, it's going to be great, man. Buster is so cerebral back there. He takes a load off your shoulders and allows you to focus on how you want to execute that pitch. … What a great first day. It's fun to see him back there working. It's cool." Notes • Bruce Bochy is not fibbing when he says he plans to pace his everyday players this spring. Craw- ford, who is working his way through his typical spring shoulder soreness, likely won't start a game at shortstop until after the first week of games. Craw- ford also is being held out of cutoff drills and is on a throw limit during infield practice. He said his sore- ness is milder than what he experienced last spring, though. Bochy also plans to limit center fielder Denard Span (left hip surgery on Sept. 1) to DH duties for the first week of games. And al- though Bochy said left fielder Angel Pagan is not ailing, he won't play him in a game until March 8. • Conor Gillaspie had a mixed day. He commit- ted an error on a routine grounder to third base, then hit the Giants' first home run of the spring. De- fense will be an important consideration as Gillaspie tries to make the club as a backup infielder and left- handed bat off the bench. • The Giants snapped a tie with a three-run sixth inning against Cam Bed- rosian, the son of former Giant Steve Bedrosian. Trevor Brown singled, ad- vanced on an errant pick- off throw and scored on a single by Ryan Lollis. Top hitting prospect Christian Arroyo continued to look locked in at the plate, and contributed a ground-rule double. • Four Giants reliev- ers held the Angels hitless over the final 4 1/3 innings. Mike Broadway and Derek Law each recorded two strikeouts. George Kontos pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to re- cord the save. • The announced atten- dance at Scottsdale Sta- dium was 8,263. Giants FROM PAGE 1 for MLS with the upcom- ing additions of Atlanta (2017), Los Angeles (2018), Minnesota (TBD) and pos- sibly David Beckham's Mi- ami project, if it can ever gain traction. Not to men- tion continued interest from markets like San An- tonio, St. Louis and Sacra- mento vying to be among those MLS includes on its path to at least 28 fran- chises. But for this year, the soccer itself will take the spotlight. Coupled with the Copa America tak- ing place in June and the Olympics in August, soccer has a chance to be at the center of the conversation for much of the late spring and summer. "I think it's going to be one of the biggest summers of soccer in the history of our sport in this country," Garber said. "Copa Amer- ica will be a mini World Cup. I think it will set the stage for an eventual bid for the World Cup in 2026." Here are things to watch as MLS begins its 21st sea- son: CASCADIA CHAMPIONS It seemed inevitable that an MLS Cup champion would eventually come from the soccer-crazed Pacific Northwest. The Timbers capped a memorable run to the title by beating Columbus 2-1 in the final last December and immediately drew the ire of their bigger-spending, big- ger-stadium rivals to the north in Seattle. The Tim- bers ousted Sporting Kan- sas City in a remarkable penalty kick shootout to open the playoffs, knocked out Vancouver and Dallas and then shocked Colum- bus on the road. BORDERBATTLE The three Canadian clubs could all be among the best this sea- son. Toronto finally made the playoffs in 2015 thanks to league MVP Sebas- tian Giovinco, along with American standouts Mi- chael Bradley and Jozy Al- tidore. MLS FROM PAGE 1 unlikely a Pac-12 team can play its way into the NCAA Tournament with its per- formance in Seattle, short of winning the tourney ti- tle. The top four teams are all likely to be top- four seeds when the NCAA Tournament field is an- nounced on March 14 and will end up hosting first- and second-round games. Washington is firmly in the field as well with its 20-9 record and could im- prove its seed with a deep run. USC and Oregon could be the teams that could get themselves back into the NCAA conversation by pulling an upset or two in Seattle. But the Ducks (20- 9) are short-handed after losing star forward Jillian Alleyne to a season-end- ing knee injury a week ago in practice, and USC (18- 12) will be hard-pressed to explain a 6-12 confer- ence mark and losing six of seven to close the regu- lar season. Still, the Pac-12 has a chance to get five teams into the NCAA tourney for a second straight season, the most since seven teams were selected in 2006. "I don't think confi- dence can be given, it has to be earned and our con- ference gives us a chance to earn that as the season goes on," UCLA coach Cori Close said. Pac-12 FROM PAGE 1 it, but for me personally, I would say it's going to be a lot of fun ... but I don't think any of us are buying into the 'Big Three."' Spieth's last outing was a rare-for-him missed cut at Riviera. Day was tied for 11th at Pebble Beach in his most recent event, and McIlroy missed the cut last week at The Honda Classic. It's their first time being in the same tournament since September. "I've played a lot with Ja- son and a lot with Jordan over the past few years, but we haven't really played much together in a three- ball," McIlroy said. "So the next two days are going to be enjoyable. It will be good out there, hopefully a little bit of buzz around that group, very much look- ing forward to that." Buzz won't be in short supply this week. The winners of the last 13 major championships are in the field, Dustin Johnson is back to defend the title he won at Doral a year ago when he over- took J.B. Holmes in the fi- nal round and it's all go- ing to play out on a course owned by Republican pres- idential front-runner Don- ald Trump — who is ex- pected to appear at some point before the final putt drops on Sunday. "Obviously, this is a great tournament," John- son said. "It's got a great field. I won here last year, but since last year we've played a lot of tourna- ments. So it's not like I just won here and I'm coming back. It's been a year but it definitely feels good. It gives me a lot of confidence coming into this week and like I said, I just want to put myself in position."
