Royals disable DeJesus, recall Gordon
Baseball Betting Lines
07/23/2010 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kansas City Royals have placed outfielder David DeJesus on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right thumb.
DeJesus suffered the injury and left Thursday's game against the Yankees after crashing into the center field wall in the third inning while trying to track down a Derek Jeter drive that eventually wound up as an inside-the-park home run.
Jeter sent a Bruce Chen pitch deep toward the wall, and DeJesus initially appeared to make a great backhanded catch. His wrist, though, bent at nearly a 90-degree angle while hitting the wall, and the ball came loose.
The 30-year-old DeJesus, who has been the subject of trade speculation, is batting .318 with five home runs and 37 runs driven in over 91 games.
To fill the roster spot, the Royals have recalled outfielder Alex Gordon from Triple-A Omaha.
Gordon started the season in the major leagues and hit just .194 in 31 at-bats before being sent to the minor leagues to learn how to play the outfield after coming up and playing as a third baseman.
The former number-one overall selection in the 2005 draft was batting .310 with 14 home runs and 46 RBI in 75 combined games between Single-A Wilmington and Omaha.

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.
