Report: Garland headed to Cleveland
Baseball Betting Lines
02/13/2012 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Indians have reportedly agreed to a minor league contract with veteran pitcher Jon Garland.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the pact includes an invitation to spring training if the 32-year-old right-hander can pass a physical.
Garland made just nine starts for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season because of injuries and is coming off rotator cuff surgery. He began the 2011 season battling a left oblique strain and posted a record of just 1-5 with a 4.33 earned run average before undergoing the surgical procedure on July 11.
The Indians are in need of depth in the rotation with the status of the former Fausto Carmona unknown. Carmona, whose real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia, is still dealing with legal and visa issues in his native Dominican Republic after being arrested last month for double identity.
Garland is familiar with the American League Central, having spent the first eight seasons of his 12-year career with the Chicago White Sox. He was an All- Star in 2005 for the Sox and helped the club to the World Series title that year.
After his time in Chicago, the California native pitched for the Angels in 2008, the Diamondbacks and Dodgers in 2009 and the Padres in 2010 before returning to the Dodgers last year. He had never been on the disabled list prior to last season.
In 353 career games, including 330 starts, Garland owns a mark of 132-119 with a 4.32 ERA.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
