GOODYEAR, Ariz. Nacho Fernandez Real Madrid Jersey . -- Reds starter Homer Bailey said he was "really close" to getting a multiyear deal completed on Monday with several days left before a scheduled arbitration hearing. Bailey is the last Reds player left in arbitration. He has a hearing scheduled for Thursday in Florida. He and the Reds have been working on a deal during the off-season. He wouldnt confirm reports that the sides are negotiating on a six-year deal. "Theres a lot of things that we have in place," Bailey said before the teams workout on Monday morning. "I feel the majority of its fairly worked out, except for some of the details and stuff like that. But were really close." The 27-year-old pitcher made $5,350,000 last season. He asked for $11.6 million in arbitration and the Reds offered $8.7 million, their biggest gap with an arbitration-eligible player. Bailey was the seventh overall pick in the June 2004 amateur draft. He developed into a dependable starter in the past two years, and pitched a pair of no-hitters along the way, too. The hard-throwing Texan went a career-best 13-10 with a 3.68 ERA in 2012, completing his breakthrough season by throwing a no-hitter in Pittsburgh on Sept. 28, a 1-0 victory. He threw the 16th no-hitter in franchise history last June 2, a 3-0 win over San Francisco at Great American Ball Park. Bailey became the third pitcher in Reds history to throw a pair of no-hitters, joining Johnny Vander Meer and Jim Maloney. Overall, Bailey went 11-12 with a 3.49 ERA with two complete games last season. Bailey hasnt bought a plane ticket to Florida for his arbitration hearing and hasnt bought a suit for it. He expects to have a deal in place before then. "Hopefully we can get the small stuff worked out in the next few days," Bailey said. "If not, Im going to have to go buy a suit." With Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Mike Leake, left-hander Tony Cingrani and Bailey, the Reds have a rotation that can be kept together for several years. Bronson Arroyo left as a free agent after last season, and Cingrani moves into his spot. Cincinnatis rotation finished third in the NL last season with a 3.43 ERA, its best mark since 1974. Overall, the Reds pitching finished four in the NL with a 3.38 ERA and led the league with 1,296 strikeouts, a club record. "You look at that rotation right there, I wouldnt mind any of those guys being here long term, would you?" manager Bryan Price said. "Five guys between 24 and 28 years old. Im not scratching my head wondering about any of those guys, if theyre going to be good long term. "Thats a great group right there. If we had Homer long term, Id be really excited about that."

Chasing his second consecutive victory at Silverstone, Webber clocked one minute 30.399 seconds to pip Vettel by just 0.032 seconds in light showers. After winning six of the eight races this season and starting from pole seven times, Vettel has a 77-point lead over McLarens Jenson Button, who qualified in fifth, and Webber. "Ive always enjoyed driving here," Webber said after clinching the eighth pole of his career. "It was a very mixed session for all of us, even in the build up with yesterdays rain. It was important to make sure every lap counted, as you never knew if it was going to be the one that counted." Vettel has now qualified on the front row for the last 14 races, stretching back into last season when the 24-year-old German became F1s youngest world champion. "It was a very good result for us, especially with all the talk that was going on into this race," Vettel said. "Its good to see that were still on top of our game and can produce quick lap times." The two Ferraris will start directly behind the Red Bulls, with Fernando Alonso qualifying ahead of Felipe Massa. "It is the best qualifying in terms of gap to pole position this year (0.117 seconds) -- we have been one seconds to 0.7 seconds in the last couple of races," Alonso said. "Being here in Silverstone which is not a track that should suit us with all the fast corners, it is a good result for us. The new parts we brought here are working well." On home soiil, Button was the fastest of the three Britons, who all made the top 10. Daniel Carvajal Real Madrid Jersey. . McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton, who is fourth in the drivers championship with 97 points, could only qualify in 10th -- his worst since the 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix. But Paul di Resta, who is managed by Hamiltons father Anthony, was sixth, having accumulated just two points in his debut season for Force India. There was also a career-best grid position for Pastor Maldonado of Williams in seventh, ahead of Saubers Kamui Kobayashi and Nico Rosberg of Mercedes. "Hopefully tomorrow we can do something special for (the fans), get some points at least," Hamilton said. "Ive probably got a couple of people in front who I might be quicker than. Overtaking here is difficult but we could still have an exciting race. It hasnt been a great weekend." Filling the front row meant the Red Bull duo were not distracted by a clampdown on blown diffusers, which aid performance by generating more downforce from parts that were not meant for that purpose, and how much engine throttle is allowed. In a change on Saturday morning, a concession from the previous day that would have helped Red Bull was reversed. "Its always rewarding when you get the maximum out of the situation," Webber said. "The rules seemed to change every session ... lets get on with the racing and keep the rules as simple as possible from the start." Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: "We wont be allowed a concession -- at the moment, in our opinion, we are running at a disadvantage compared to other manufacturers. We were trying to find a solution because its in nobodys interest to have a lack of clarity." cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
