MIAMI -- With the addition of third baseman Casey McGehee, the Miami Marlins have replaced half of their punchless 2013 lineup. McGehee, a five-year major league veteran who played in Japan last season, agreed to a $1.1 million, one-year contract Wednesday. Miami earlier acquired catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, first baseman Garrett Jones and second baseman Rafael Furcal to shake up an offence that ranked last in the majors in runs and batting average. "We needed to get more production offensively," president of baseball operations Mike Hill said. "We still have some work to do, but were very comfortable with the progress weve made this off-season." Miami designated 2008 first-round pick Kyle Skipworth for assignment. The catcher went hitless in three at-bats during a brief stint with the Marlins in his major league debut this year. Marlins third basemen totalled three homers and 44 RBIs in 2013, worst in the majors in both categories. McGehee hit .292 with 28 homers in Japan last season. "It was a great learning experience for me," he said. "I had to rely on myself a lot more as far as what I was doing at the plate. I started to realize the home runs showed up more when that wasnt the sole purpose of my at-bat. And being humbled a little bit having to go over to Japan -- all those things combined, I re-found my confidence. Now Im excited about coming back and jump-starting my career over here." McGehees stint at third base for the Marlins might be brief. They took University of North Carolina third baseman Colin Moran with the sixth overall pick in the amateur draft, and hes expected to eventually take over the job. "Moran definitely had an influence in our decision-making process," Hill said. "We invested a lot in him. We didnt want to rush him, but theres nothing we have seen that leads us not to believe hes going to be a productive player. When hes ready to be there, hell be there." In the meantime, the Marlins will count on the 31-year-old McGehee, who has an average of .257 in five big league seasons. He played for the Pirates and Yankees in 2012 and batted .217 with nine homers in 114 games. The Marlins will be his fifth major league team. In addition to his base salary, he can earn $400,000 in performance bonuses: $50,000 each for 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 525, 550 and 575 plate appearances.

"Im in a really good position for tomorrow," Scott said.MALMO, Sweden -- Defenceman Matt Dumba missed Fridays practice with an illness but is expected to be able to play in Canadas next game at the world junior hockey championship. Coach Brent Sutter said Dumba is already feeling better and should play Saturday when Canada (1-0) faces the Czech Republic (0-1). "Hes just got a little bit of a virus so were keeping him off the ice," said Sutter. "Its something that started (Thursday) night and he was a little better this morning, so hell be fine. He was up all night." Dumba, loaned to the team by the Minnesota Wild, skated the puck into the attacking zone to set up Canadas first goal in a tournament-opening 7-2 win over Germany. Sutter also said that Jake Paterson will start again in goal. The Saginaw Spirit goalie won the job with twwo strong starts in pre-tournament exhibition games, relegating Zach Fucale of the Halifax Mooseheads to a backup role.dddddddddddd However, Sutter said Fucale should see some action before the tournament ends. As for Paterson, he said: "He didnt have a lot of work (against Germany), but outside of that first goal, he made some key saves for us. He was there when he needed to be, so hell get another shot. "He has to continue to take the ball and run with it. Im not a believer in rotating goalies in this tournament. You want to go with someone whos riding the hot hand. We went with the 19-year-old to start the tournament, but you still have to assume that at some point, Fucales going to get that opportunity because we play a lot of games here in a short period of time."
