Cbaseball Betting Lines

06/02/2010 - Tempe, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arizona State lifted the interim tag of baseball coach Tim Esmay, giving him the job on a permanent basis.

Esmay took over in December to replace Pat Murphy, who resigned after more than 15 years in the position.

Prior to the 2010 season, Esmay spent the past five seasons as an assistant coach for ASU Baseball, including three as assistant head coach. A former Sun Devil player and assistant coach, Esmay has coached a total of 10 seasons at Arizona State.

The 45-year-old Esmay has led the Sun Devils to a 47-8 record this regular season. Arizona State earned a No. 1 national seed for the NCAA Tournament and will play Milwaukee in the Tempe Regional on Friday.

"I am extremely honored to lead this program and carry on the storied tradition," said Esmay. "To be able to be the head coach at my Alma Mater is a dream come true!"

Esmay was the head baseball coach at the University of Utah from 1997 to 2004, winning a WAC title and WAC Coach of the Year honors in 1997. In eight seasons at Utah he compiled a 213-235-1 record.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
