But the Javelinas were feeling good enough Saturday to bring Peoria its third Arizona Fall League title, before 2,274 at Scottsdale Stadium. "The kids came out here today, most of them not able to eat and still weak," said Peoria manager Razor Shines, who with two trainers also went to the hospital because of the illness. "But as you can see they played as hard as they could, and I'm proud of every one of them." Peoria left fielder Shane Victorino was the only Javelinas player to record a multihit game, but he wasn't the only one with a walk. In fact, Tim Hummell was the only Peoria player not to draw a base on balls on a day Scottsdale pitchers walked 13. Stewart, out of the Chicago White Sox organization, did not walk a batter.

A few other teammates probably could have used medical treatment, but they never made it out of bed. Stewart says he's lucky to have avoided the bug. Peoria's lucky he avoided it, too.

The left-hander pitched six innings Saturday, allowing only four hits and an unearned run to lead Peoria to a 7-1 victory over the Scottsdale Scorpions to win the Arizona Fall League championship.

He was shot Thursday dur Associated Press The Yankees, Mets and Rockies have talked about a three-way deal that would send Colorado pitcher Denny Neagle to the Mets, the New York Daily News reported Saturday. Each of the three teams would pay a share of Neagle's contract, the News reported. Neagle has struggled in Colorado and has at least three seasons left on a contract that will pay him at least $37 million. Yankees outfielders Raul Mondesi and Rondell White and Mets outfielder Jeromy Burnitz also could be involved in a deal, the newspaper said, citing several unidentified baseball sources. Neagle, a lefty who previously played for the Yankees, was 8-11 with a 5.26 ERA last season.

The Mets and Yankees declined comment to the Associated Press on Saturday. Calls to ing an attempted carjacking at an intersection near his home the Rockies were not immediately returned. The Yankees would acquire no players in the deal but would gain salary-cap and luxury-tax relief, the story said. The Rockies have been active this off-season. They already traded Mike Hampton and his big contract to Florida, which then dealt the left-hander to Atlanta.

Also, a proposed trade between Colorado and the Diamondbacks fell apart when two players, Larry Walker of the Rockies and Matt Williams of the Diamondbacks, vetoed it. Astros Outfielder Richard Hidalgo was recovering at home in Venezuela after he was shot in the left forearm during a carjacking.
