Baseball Betting Lines
02/13/2012 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox and designated hitter David Ortiz have avoided salary arbitration and agreed to a one-year contract.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but the Boston Globe reported the deal to be worth $14.575 million. The two sides were set for an arbitration hearing on Monday, with the Sox offering $12.65 million and Ortiz requesting $16.5 million.
Ortiz has played for the Red Sox since 2003 and was an integral part of their two World Series championship teams in 2004 and '07. Nowhere near the feared hitter he once was, Ortiz still batted .309, hit 29 homers and drove in 96 runs last season.
It was the eighth time that he reached the 25-homer plateau in a Boston uniform, surpassing Jim Rice for second-most in franchise history. Only Ted Williams has more with 14.
Ortiz is fifth all-time in Red Sox annals with 320 homers and sixth in RBI with 1,028.
A seven-time All-Star, Ortiz spent his first six seasons with the Twins and is a career .283 hitter with 378 homers, 1,266 runs batted in and a .544 slugging percentage in 1,742 big league games.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
