Brewers place Graffanino on DL; recall Weeks

Baseball Betting Lines

08/10/2007 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers placed infielder Tony Graffanino on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a torn ACL and medial meniscus in the right knee.

Graffanino left Wednesday's 19-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies in the second inning with what was initially called a sprained right knee after he attempted to catch a line drive.

Graffanino was hitting .238 with nine home runs and 30 RBI this season for the Brewers.

To take his place on the roster, Milwaukee recalled second baseman Rickie Weeks from Triple-A Nashville.

The 25-year old Weeks, considered the franchise's second baseman of the future, was hitting just .212 this season before the Brewers sent him down to Nashville.

Milwaukee also announced that pitcher Elmer Dessens cleared waivers and was given his unconditional release.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
