Trevor Plouffe on the disabled list due to a broken left rib that will likely

If you push Leigh Broxham hard enough, you discover what Melbourne Victorys round one A-League date with Brisbane Roar is all about.Its about revenge, he says.The veteran Victory utility is only half serious.Victorys A-League campaign ended at Suncorp Stadium last term after holding a 1-0 lead after 88 minutes in their elimination final.Late goals to Matt McKay and Thomas Broich put the Roar into a semi-final with Western Sydney Wanderers as Victory crashed out.In isolation, it was a crushing way to end their championship defence.But with a broader view, theres an acceptance among Kevin Muscats side that they werent able to perform at their best for long enough to repeat their title-winning feats.Broxham said new faces in the dressing room helped Victory to move on but the round one fixture did bring up bad memories for several players.As the game gets closer it becomes a bit more fresh. It took a while to get over, he said.We had to move on quickly because we still had (Asian Champions League) games. When everything was done and dusted it still hurt a lot.Not that you need any more motivation but it is there.There will be at least three new faces in the team to face the Roar from the side that lost 2-1, following the departure of Kosta Barbarouses, Gui Finkler and Matthieu Delpierre.Returning attacker James Troisi is likely to jump straight in for Finkler at No.10, with Alan Baro, James Donachie and Nick Ansell all possible centre-backs.Winger Marco Rojas, also back at the club where he made his name, will need to wait a week to jump back into the team after his New Zealand call-up - handing Mitch Austin a rails run to selection.But if theres one player who doesnt know where hell be its Broxham.The 28-year-old spent most of last season in midfield, started at centre-back in that elimination final and played left-back in Victorys last-out FFA Cup win over Bentleigh Greens.In a decade at the club hes just about played in every position but said he was happy to keep filling the holes as Muscat saw fit.The boss asked me to do it so Im happy to do it, he said.It is hard on a personal level to get consistency but its enabled me to play so many games in my career so far so Im not going to start complaining about it now.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins have placed third baseman Trevor Plouffe on the disabled list due to a broken left rib that will likely keep him out at least a month.Plouffe was hit by a pitch Wednesday at Chicago and played the next two games, even going 3 for 4 with a home run Friday against Texas. The pain flared up over the weekend, though, and he was scratched from the lineup Sunday.The move was made Monday before the Twins hosted Oakland, and first baseman Kennys Vargas was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to fill in.Another tough blow for Trevor, manager Paul Molitor said. Hes had a frustrating year in terms of getting hurt, getting healthy, getting hurt.Plouffe had a DL stint earlier this season for a strained muscle on his right side. He missed two games last week because of a strained right groin muscle.Just kind of battling throughout the year, playing at 65 to 70 percent, just trying to get through it, Plouffe said. And I would love to continue to do that, man, but this is a little bit too much.Plouffe was told hell probably need four weeks before he can swing again.I feel like I could probably beat that, Plouffe said. I typically come back quicker than they preedict, so well see.ddddddddddddAt least the rest of his body ought to be able to fully heal while hes resting the rib.Got to find a silver lining, man, he said.The silver lining for the Twins is making it easy for Molitor to put Miguel Sano at third base every day, rather than move him to designated hitter when Plouffe was in the field. Vargas, who hit .235 with 14 home runs and 53 RBI in 82 games for the Red Wings, will see some action at DH in the meantime.The Twins kept the arbitration-eligible Plouffe for $7.25 million, after he batted .244 with 22 home runs, 35 doubles and a career-high 86 RBI last season. That prompted them to play Sano out of position in right field, an experiment that recently ended when he returned from the DL.Given their majors-worst 27-54 record at the 81-game midpoint of the schedule, the Twins are certain to try to trade some of their veterans this month before the non-waiver deadline. The injury to Plouffe has reduced his value, though.I dont know whats going to happen with that now, Plouffe said. I guess I never knew. ' ' '
