Sportsbetting has been active in the baseball off-season with a number of high profile players changing teams. World Series Most Valuable Player Hideki Matsui will be moving from the Yankees to the Los Angeles Angels. That is about the online positive sports betting online move for the Angels since they lost John Lackey earlier this sportsbetting week to Boston.
Sportsbetting has Matsui agreeing to a $6.5 million dollar one-year deal with the Angels. Matsui played in only 93 games last sports betting online year but still hit .274 with 28 home runs and 90 RBIs. He was great in the World Series as sports betting online noted, as he batted .615 with three home runs and eight RBIs. Sportsbetting indicated that Matsui hit .292 with 140 homers 597 RBIs in his New York career. Sports betting online had him likely to take the place of Vladimir Guerrero in the Los Angeles lineup.
Another sportsbetting move had the Chicago White Sox getting Juan Pierre to lead off for them next season. The White Sox got Pierre and $10.5 million from the Los Angeles Dodgers for two players to be named later as sportsbetting info indicated. “They already have a good team in place,” Pierre said, “They’ve been accustomed to winning over the last four or five years. I’m looking forward to getting out there on the field on a regular basis.” Pierre was very good last sportsbetting season for the Dodgers as he hit .308 with 30 stolen bases while scoring 57 runs. He was a very good fill-in as sportsbetting showed when Manny Ramirez was suspended. “Juan always put the Dodgers first, even when it wasn’t in his personal best interest,” Los Angeles general manager Ned Colletti said. “In this day, that is a rare attribute. When he and I spoke at the end of the season, we agreed that if an opportunity presented itself in which his chance to play would be enhanced, we would pursue it and that’s what we’ve done. He deserved the chance to play more.”
Sportsbetting has Pierre giving the White Sox a solid leadoff hitter since Chicago may not resign Scott Podsednik who is a free agent. “Juan is certainly someone that fits the bill,” general manager Ken Williams said. “Love the guy’s work ethic. Love his intensity. He adds a lot to a club, other than just what he does on the field. But what he does on the field is pretty special.” Sportsbetting stats have Pierre as a .301 career hitter with 459 stolen bases. He hit .294 with a .339 on-base percentage in three sportsbetting seasons with the Dodgers.
