Blue Jays designate 3B Encarnacion for assignment

Baseball Betting Lines

06/21/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Blue Jays have designated third baseman Edwin Encarnacion for assignment.

Encarnacion, 27, was batting .200 with nine home runs and 22 RBI in 37 games this season. He was sidelined from April 15 through May 17 because of a sore right shoulder and missed 30 games during that stretch.

Toronto acquired Encarnacion from Cincinnati in a four-player deal at the trade deadline last year.

He has a career .257 average with 88 home runs and 308 RBI.

The Blue Jays also announced pitcher Dustin McGowan will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his right shoulder Tuesday. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2008 while recovering from shoulder surgery. No timetable has been set for McGowan to resume throwing.

Toronto activated pitcher Scott Richmond from the 60-day disabled list and optioned him to Single-A Dunedin.

Richmond is returning from a right shoulder impingement that sidelined him during spring training. He went 8-11 with a 5.52 ERA in 27 games (24 starts) for the Blue Jays in 2009.

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.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
