Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

Six of the best minor league prospects of the Detroit Tigers.........

1) Steven Moya, OF-- Got eight ABs in the majors last season.

2) Buck Farmer, P-- Jumped from A ball to majors LY; not sure why.

5) Hernan Perez, 2B/SS-- Signed for $237,000 when he was 16.

6) James McCann C-- Hit .295 in AAA last season.

13) Kyle Lobstein, P-- Got six starts with the big club last season.

16) Drew Verhagen, P-- Another in long line of Vanderbilt pitchers.



**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.........

13) I almost never watch the Academy Award show on TV, but this year is different; one of my favorite actors is up for Best Supporting Actor and he is expected to win.

JK Simmons is the psychiatrist on Law and Order, the guy on the Farmers Insurance commercials, the surgeon who couldn't save Winona Ryder in Autumn in New York, the manager of the Tigers in For the Love of Game, Kevin Costner's baseball movie. he is a great character actor and it will be cool to see it if he wins.

12) As I am typing this article, the Internet Explorer on my laptop won't work and it is causing great frustration. Anyone know how to fix this? At this point, I'm off to Best Buy to get a new one the next time it isn't snowing, which could be in May.

11) Turns out James Shields got offered $80M for five years by the Giants, but he turned it down and wound up signing with San Diego for five years, $75M.

10) Georgia RB Todd Gurley wouldn't let NFL doctors look at his post-operative knee, on advice from Dr James Andrews, who operated on it. This is very unusual for a kid not to let the NFL doctors look at him, but it is his decision.

9) With three games left in the regular season, the CAA has a 4-way tie for first; same thing happened it Conference USA last year. A team finished last year one game out of first place, but they were in fifth place and had a very tough first round game in the conference tournament.

8) 47.3% of challenges were overturned by replay last baseball season; thats a lot higher than I thought it would be- the system was better than expected.

7) They're going to build a 4-story driving range near the MGM Grand later this year; that will be tremendous, hitting golf balls on the Strip-- it will open next spring.

6) Actor Ben Stiller is a huge hoop fan and has Knicks tickets; his son was a ballboy for the NBA All-Star Game last week.

5) Albany-Hartford game on ESPNU Friday night had seven Australian kids playing in it. Not a lot of east coast schools recruit Australia; too far from home. They also said on the telecast that the biggest WalMart in America is in Albany, which is cool since I live here, I'm just not sure which one it is. There are a lot of WalMarts here.

4) When did Toronto become a basketball city? NBA All-Star Game is there next winter. Menawhile their beloved Maple Leafs are 4-22-2 in their last 28 games. Oy.

3) Jameis Winston has a bum shoulder; whoops. Bad time for a kid to find that out; maybe being a relief pitcher all spring after playing football wasn't such a great idea after all. Could cost him millions of dollars.

2) Ever since it came out that Dan Monson was getting a decent percentage of the guarantee money Long Beach State got for losing all those road games in December, his kids haven't played as well; not sure if there is a connection, but the 49ers' body language is terrible, they just play indifferently at times. It is one thing to play a tough schedule to get better, it is quite another to play tough games so the coach can line his pocket with the gate receipts.

1) Major league baseball games are nine minutes a game longer now than they were 20 years ago; why is this a problem? Most of those nine minutes result from increased commercial time in between innings, but those can't be eliminated. I don't see what the big deal is-- seems like a media-driven complaint.

Game of the day: Kings vs Sharks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Kings vs. San Jose Sharks (-105, 5.5)

Game to be played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California

The Los Angeles Kings attempt to extend their winning streak to seven games when they meet the San Jose Sharks at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. on Saturday in the latest installment of the Coors Light NHL Stadium Series. Los Angeles began the month with back-to-back losses before reeling off six consecutive victories, including a 4-1 triumph at Colorado on Wednesday. Jeff Carter scored twice and Tyler Toffoli added a goal and an assist as the Kings posted their third straight road win.

San Jose looks to record consecutive wins for the first time since ending January with three in a row. Andrew Desjardins registered his second career two-goal performance and Antti Niemi made 37 saves Thursday as the Sharks rolled to their second victory in seven contests, a 5-2 triumph at Dallas. San Jose won two of its first three meetings with the Pacific Division-rival Kings this season, splitting a pair of games in Los Angeles before claiming a 4-2 decision at home on Jan. 21.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, TVA2

LINE HISTORY: The initial line opened between SJ 100 to -102 across books before sitting around -105 Saturday morning. The total opened at 5, but has since moved to 5.5.

INJURY REPORT: Kings - D Alec Martinez (Out-Head) Sharks - N/A

ABOUT THE KINGS (27-18-12 SU, 24-22-11 O/U): The latest version of "That 70s Line" is clicking on all cylinders of late. Toffoli has registered six goals and three assists over his last six games while Carter and newest member Dwight King both are riding five-game point streaks. Carter has scored four goals and set up five others while King, who is filling in for the injured Tanner Pearson, has recorded three tallies and five assists.

ABOUT THE SHARKS (30-22-8 SU, 28-27-5 O/U): San Jose's recent swoon has it holding onto a playoff spot for dear life. The club currently occupies the second wild-card slot in the Western Conference with a one-point lead over Minnesota and a two-point advantage over Los Angeles. Those leads easily could disappear as the Wild and Kings have two and three games in hand, respectively. Joe Thornton needs one assist to snap a tie with Dale Hawerchuk (891) for 20th place on the all-time list.

TRENDS:

*Kings are 6-0 in their last 6 overall.
*Over is 6-0 in Sharks last 6 vs. a team with a losing record.
*Kings are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
*Sharks are 2-5 in their last 7 overall.

OUTDOOR GAME TRENDS:

*Road teams have gone 10-4 since outdoor games started in 2003
*Nine of the 14 games have gone under

CONSENSUS: 51.98 percent of users are backing the Kings with 54.5 percent on the under.
