Brewers part ways with veteran P Suppan

Baseball Betting Lines

06/07/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers released veteran right- handed pitcher Jeff Suppan on Monday.

The 35-year-old came to Milwaukee via free agency in December 2006 after spending the previous three seasons with St. Louis.

Suppan struggled since signing his four-year, $42 million contract with the Brewers, however, compiling a 29-36 record with a 5.08 earned run average in 110 games (97 starts). He was particularly ineffective this season, going 0-2 with a 7.84 ERA in 15 games (two starts).

Milwaukee still owes Suppan the rest of his $12.5 million salary this year as well as a $2 million buyout for his club option in 2011.

Over 16 major league seasons, Suppan is 135-137 with a 4.72 ERA in 427 games (398 starts) with Kansas City, Boston, Pittsburgh, Arizona, St. Louis and Milwaukee. He also helped the Cardinals win the World Series in 2006, when they beat Detroit in five games.

In a related move, the club will purchase the contract of right-hander Chris Smith from Triple-A Nashville. Smith appeared in 35 games for the Brewers in 2009 and pitched to a 4.11 ERA. He is 2-1 with a 1.71 ERA and 16 saves this season at Nashville.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
