Along with the last line of defence being under contract, Toronto has re-signed defencemen Damon Edwards to a three-year deal, Rob Marshall to a two-year contract and Ethan OConnor to a one-year pact. The signings are pending league approval. Miller was acquired at the 2014 NLL trade deadline in March and won three of his four starts down the stretch as the Rock rallied from four games below .500 at the end of March to finish 9-9 and earn the second seed in the East Division. The 35-year old Orangeville, ON native is a veteran of 14 NLL seasons with stops in Albany, San Jose, Chicago, and of course Philadelphia, before landing in Toronto last season. "Brandon came in last season and was a big part of us making the playoffs," said Sanderson. "We have great depth in goal with Nick Rose and Steve Fryer alongside Brandon. That depth sets us up very nicely to compete with the top teams in the league." The other three players signed will be keys to the Rock defence that plays in front of Miller in 2015. Rob Marshall is the second longest tenured athlete on any Toronto pro sports team behind Blue Jays pitcher Dustin McGowan. The nine-year NLL veteran, all with the Rock, was a member of the 2011 Toronto Rock championship team and has been one of the teams most reliable defenders for years. A veteran of five NLL seasons, defenceman Damon Edwards had a career year offensively transitioning the ball from the back end. He scored 7 goals and added 15 assists for 22 points in 2014, shattering his previous career high of 4 points established in 2011 and 2012. 2013 first round draft pick Ethan OConnor had a tremendous rookie season in 2014, leading the team and all NLL rookies in loose balls with 133. That total ranked him 9th overall in the league. He scored 5 goals and added 4 assists in 17 games for the Rock last season.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Retired Yankees closer Mariano Rivera says he would take Bostons Dustin Pedroia over former teammate Robinson Cano as his top second baseman. Thats fine by Cano, who insists he respects Rivera as the best ever, no matter what. "There is no doubt that he is a Hall of Fame-caliber talent," Rivera said about Cano in his new book published Tuesday. "Its just a question of whether he finds the drive that you need to get there." "I dont think Robby burns to be the best. I think hes content to enjoy the game and help his team and go home. You dont see the red-hot passion in him that you see in most elite players," Rivera said. Cano has moved on out West with Seattle, determined not to let Riveras words in "The Closer: My Story" affect him or his new team. "Everybody has a different opinion. Thats his opinion and I have to respect his opinion," Cano said before Tuesday nights game at Oakland. "Im not going to go too far into this. Thats the only thing that I can say. My focus right now is this team. Im here, were winning. I was over there already and now Im here and now Im focused on the team. Im going to be excited for my teammates." Baseballs career saves leader played nine seasons with Cano. Rivera retired after last year, and Cano left the Yankees in the off-season and joined the Mariners on a $240 million, 10-year contract as the new centerpiece of the franchise. Rivera played against Pedroia for eight years in New Yorks rivalry with the Red Sox. "Nobody plays harder, gives more, wants to win more. He comes at you hard for 27 outs, every time. Its a special thing to see, a little guy like that who is willing to do whatever it takes," Rivera said. "If I have to win one game, Id have a hard time taking anybody over Dustin Pedroia as my second baseman." Rivera cites Roberto Alomar and former teammate Chuck Knoblauch as second baseman hed consider alongside Cano in the debate over the best at the position. Cheap Swingman Pelicans Jerseys. In the end, Rivera decides on Pedroia. Cano has played at least 159 games in each of the past seven years -- and Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon insists that durability shows plenty about his love for the game and desire to be great and stay in the lineup every day. Cano will let those numbers provide all the necessary information. "Everybody knows I play 160 games," he said. "How does Mariano feel? I respect that and Im always going to have respect for him, a guy that I spent nine years with and for me is always going to be the best closer. Thats how I feel." McClendon said he was "surprised" to learn of Riveras remarks regarding Cano. "Im extremely proud, Im humbled and I feel blessed to be able to manage a guy of Robinson Canos character and his ability to play the game of baseball. Hes a Seattle Mariner and Im proud to have him," McClendon said. "One thing I know about human nature, I dont know what Robinson Cano is feeling inside, just like you dont know what Im feeling inside. Its impossible for me to justify that or answer that. All I can tell you is check the book, he plays 160, 162 games a year. I think thats pretty good passion. "The last nine years, hes been the best second baseman in baseball, offensively and defensively, and the awards and the numbers back it up." In the book, written with New York Daily News reporter Wayne Coffey, Rivera says there has been a decrease in atmosphere at New York home games following the move to new Yankee Stadium for the 2009 season. "It doesnt hold noise, or home-team fervour, anywhere near the way the old place did," he said. "The old Stadium was our 10th man -- a loud and frenzied cauldron of pinstriped passion, with a lot of lifers in the stands. Maybe Im wrong, but its hard to see that the new place can ever quite duplicate that."
