Boston disables Cash, promotes Saltalamacchia

Baseball Betting Lines

08/11/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox have placed catcher Kevin Cash on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 9, with a strained left hamstring.

Cash is batting .176 with two home runs and four runs batted in over 40 games this season.

To take Cash's spot on the roster, the BoSox recalled catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, whom they acquired from Texas at the trade deadline on July 31, from Triple-A Pawtucket.

He was the Rangers' catcher on Opening Day, but played in only two games, going 1-for-5, before being placed on the disabled list because of stiffness in his upper back and shoulder.

After returning to the field in the minor leagues with Triple-A Oklahoma City, the 25-year-old then experienced pronounced difficulty throwing the ball back to the pitcher from behind the plate, which he has since overcome.

In his four-year career with Atlanta and Texas, Saltalamacchia is a .251 hitter with 23 homers and 94 RBI in 240 games.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
