TORONTO - He may not be the answer to the Blue Jays problems but general manager Alex Anthopoulos hopes to have popular Japanese infielder Munenori Kawasaki back next year. Casey Cizikas Jersey .The 33-year-old Kawasaki brings more than a bat and glove to Toronto.Anthopoulos, at his end-of-season media session Sunday, said all you need to do is watch Kawasaki in the dugout.(The) different people he sits beside during the game and the different backgrounds, knowing he cant speak English, just shows you how he can connect to anybody, said Anthopoulos. Its amazing.Manager John Gibbons agrees.Hes a special guy, said the Texan. Thats not what the game is all about, but hes good for our team.Jays fans love Kawasaki for his quirky mannerisms, from stretching in the field inbetween plays to bowing to teammates. Despite his limited English, he even won a sponsorship with a local car dealership.He spent all but three games in April and May with triple-A Buffalo, returning to Toronto in mid-June. In 82 games, he hit. 258 with 17 runs batted in. Wearing No. 66, he struck out 49 times in 240 at-bats but prolonged more than a few of those at-bats with his plate coverage, making things difficult for the pitcher.And he can play anywhere on the left side of the infield.You feel good when he goes to the plate or if theres a play hes got to make on the field, you think hes going to get it done, and he normally does, said Gibbons. Hes been a pleasure. I mean, hes an uplifting guy.Weve got some extreme personalities in that clubhouse. Hes a guy that everybody kind of gravitates to and has fun with.Kawasaki, who signed a minor-league deal with the Jays this year, played in Japan from 2000 to 2011 before joining the Seattle Mariners in 2012. The next year he joined Toronto.He sealed his part in Jays lore in May 2013 with a game-winning double in a 6-5 walkoff win against Baltimore.In a memorable post-game TV interview, an excited Kawasaki said Thank you very much. My name is Munenori Kawasaki, I come from Japan, I am Japaneeeeese.He then consulted some notes.My teammates gave me an opportunity, so I wanted to do something about it, he added.He got no further as he was pied by a teammate and doused in Gatorade.Asked Sunday if he wants Kawasaki back in 2015, Gibbons said: I love the guy.I dont know whats going to happen with the team, but hell be playing somewhere. I know that.Anthopoulos went further.I think well look to bring him back. I think that goes without saying, said the GM. I havent talked to him. I dont know what his desires are. I dont think the finances have ever been an issue for him. My understanding is he can make more money in Japan, but hes wanted to play here.Well see. I dont know what his goals are for the off-season, but at some point well sit down with him.Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Robin Salo Jersey .com) - James Harden had 32 points, including a tying layup late in regulation, and the Houston Rockets scored eight of their 13 points in overtime at the foul line to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 117-111 on Friday night.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Phil Mickelson came to the St. Jude Classic wanting to tune up for the U.S. Open at Pinehurst by finishing strong. He did just that Thursday. Mickelson shot a 3-under 67, birdieing three of his final four holes in windy conditions before a thunderstorm softened up TPC Southwind. It was his first round in the 60s since the third round at the Wells Fargo Championship. He hadnt shot below 70 since. He missed the cut at The Players Championship and tied for 49th last week in the Memorial following a visit from FBI agents and lingering questions about an insider-trading investigation. Lefty hasnt won in 19 events dating to the British Open and is among the players in Tennessee tuning up for Pinehurst. "I did exactly what I need to do and some momentum that I need heading into the U.S. Open," Mickelson said. "Tomorrows round, the same thing. Finish strong and play a good round." Ben Crane shot a 7-under 63 giving him the lead in the suspended first round, taking advantage of the 3 1/2-hour delay that left nearly perfect scoring conditions with no wind and rain-softened greens. He had five of his seven birdies on his final nine, the last a few minutes before play was suspended because of darkness. Sixty players were unable to finish the round. Peter Malnati shot a 65, and Billy Horschel also was 5 under with two holes left to play. Retief Goosen and Joe Durant each had a 66, while Stuart Appleby, Zach Johnson and Jason Bohn were on the course at 4 under. Appleby had a hole-in-one on the 157-yard eighth hole, using a 7-iron. That was his 17th hole, and the last one he completed. Crane needed only 24 putts for his best round of the season, including a 27-footer for birdie on his final hole at No. 9 with only a handful of people watching because officials closed the course to spectators because of the high winds with the storm. "We caught a huge break being on this side of the wave," Crane said. "You know this is ideal Memphis weather. Its as good as it gets. It was calm, barrely any wind. Anders Lee Jersey. The greens softened up. We were able to attack some of the pins." Mickelelson, who tied for second at Southwind last year, was among the 53 players who finished before play was delayed. Even with tricky wind Thursday morning, Mickelson said his focus on each shot was much better. Hes trying to better visualize the shot and curve his irons so that his approach shots land closer to the hole, giving him more tap-in opportunities. Finishing with the three birdies in his final four holes was exactly what he wanted in a round with five birdies and two bogeys. He hit his approach from 135 yards on the par-4 sixth to 5 feet and rolled in the birdie putt. He left himself longer putts with a 7-footer on the par-3 eighth and an 11-footer on the par-4 ninth, but knocked them in for his strong finish. "Ive been struggling with finishing the round strong," Mickelson said. "I had a good round last week on Thursday and then played poorly. To birdie three of the last four made it a great round. Thats exactly what I need to do." Firm greens made it tough to land balls close, but Goosen credited them with helping him roll in some of his birdie putts. He sunk a couple from 5 feet or closer, but also had a couple birdie putts from 14 feet. Goosen also saved par on No. 7 with a 12-foot putt. "The greens are as good as greens as you can get," Goosen said. "The greens are rolling close to 13 on the stimpmeter. They are really good. You hit the right putt, they are going to go in." A seven-time winner on the PGA Tour, Goosen hasnt won on tour since 2009. He has two top-10 finishes this year as he continues his comeback from back surgery in August 2012. He tied for third in Memphis in 2011 and said he really likes the course. Divots: Robert Garrigus withdrew after hurting his wrist in the 18th fairway. He had a 79 that included three bogeys, a double and an 8 on the par-4 17th. ... Players will resume the second round at 7 a.m., with the second round starting approximately 40 minutes later.
