A's disable P Anderson, make other moves

Baseball Betting Lines

04/27/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Athletics have placed left-hander Brett Anderson on the 15-day disabled list with left elbow inflammation and a forearm strain.

The move is retroactive to April 25.

Anderson, who recently signed a four-year contract, compiled a 1-1 record with a 2.35 earned run average through his first four starts of the season. He left his last turn Saturday against Cleveland after six innings because of the injuries.

A rookie in 2009, Anderson posted an 11-11 record with a 4.06 earned run average in 30 starts with the A's. He struck out a team-high 150 batters against just 45 walks in 175 1/3 innings.

Also on Tuesday, the team optioned righty Edwar Ramirez to Triple-A Sacramento and recalled catcher Landon Powell and infielder Steve Tolleson from Sacramento.

Ramirez made six appearances in relief for Oakland, going 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in 10 innings, during which he struck out nine but issued eight walks.

Powell is in his second stint with the Athletics this season and has one hit in four big league at-bats in two games. He has also played in eight games for Sacramento, batting .222 with a home run and a pair of runs batted in.

Tolleson was hitting .333 in Triple-A with one long ball and eight driven in. He will be making his major league debut.

Football Betting Lines

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
