    Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

    Six of the San Francisco Giants' top minor league prospects.....

    1) Kyle Crick, P-- Allowed 132 hits in 187 minor league IP.

    2) Edwin Escobar, P-- Cousin of big league pitcher Kelvim Escobar.

    7) Heath Hembree, P-- Expected to be team's closer down the road.

    15) Ryder Jones 3B-- His dad is Appalachian State's baseball coach.

    29) Brooks Kieschnick, OF-- Hit .202 in 84 big league ABs LY.

    30) Erik Cordier, P-- 579 minor league IP, on his fourth organization.

    *****

    Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Wrapping up a night of basketball...

    13) Syracuse 58, Pitt 56-- Tyler Ennis hit a dramatic 35-footer at buzzer to keep Orangemen unbeaten. Very hard-fought game; Panthers played their hearts out, and then had those hearts ripped out by Ennis.

    12) Weather forced postponement of seven games, including UNC-Duke, which will be made up a week from today, the 20th. They had eight inches of snow at Pinehurst golf course in North Carolina.

    11) Penn State 66, Indiana 65-- This score makes us wonder who Indiana will host in the first round of the NIT? Hoosiers led by 11 with 3:19 to go, just a horrific loss at home.

    10) Kings 106, Knicks 101 ot-- Jimmer Fredette is from Glens Falls, 45 miles north of Armadillo World HQ, so I root for him; kid hasn't played a lot for the struggling Kings, but he went off last night, scoring 15 points in his first 7:00 on the floor, wound up with a career high 24 points.

    Most Fredette had played all season was 21 minutes in a blowout loss to the Pacers last month. Against ther Knicks, Jimmer played 27 minutes, made six of nine behind the arc-- he can help some NBA team.

    9) Texas Tech 68, Oklahoma 60-- Tubby's Red Raiders are 5-0 vs spread as a road underdog in league play. Bad home loss for the Sooners.

    8) Indiana State 68, Bradley 62-- Sycamores are 19-6, 10-3 in Valley; they are hurt by Notre Dame's demise- they beat Irish before Grant flunked out, so that would've been a quality win, but isn't now.

    7) VCU 92, George Washington 75-- Rams avenged earlier loss to GW, as VCU was 13-25 from arc and forced 22 Colonial turnovers.

    6) Rockets 113, Wizards 112-- Trevor Ariza had 32 points, 11 rebounds for improved Wiz, but Harden scored 35, was 16-16 from line, getting winning hoop at 0:00.7 mark. Houston was 35-47 on line as team, is now 36-17.

    5) Boise State 71, New Mexico 70-- San Diego State lost at Wyoming last night, now Lobos go down here, as Mountain West road claims couple of top teams as victims. Boise has had trouble finishing games of late, but Marks hit couple foul shots with 0:13 left for win here.

    4) Nebraska 67 , Illinois 58-- Cornhuskers have now won four in a row at home, as Tim Miles rebuilds another program. Illinois is having a horrendous season- they should be better than this.

    3) UConn 83, South Florida 40-- Scores like this get coaches fired. USF is a football school, but they should be competitive in this league. They're not.

    2) Washington 64, Stanford 60-- Huge charging call on Stanford with 0:05.3 left negated tying basket; Huskies are 5-0 at home in Pac-12. Very bad loss for the Cardinal-- tournament teams win road games like this one.

    1) George Mason 91, UMass 80-- Patriots won second game in row after an 0-8 start in A-13; this game will hurt Minutemen on Selection Sunday.

      NASCAR number: Countdown to Daytona

      There are 11 days remaining before the 2014 Daytona 500; hence, the number for today is:

      11: The car number with the most NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victories -- 203. Under Denny Hamlin's tenure at Joe Gibbs Racing, the No. 11 has surpassed the 198 triumphs of the vaunted No. 43 made famous by Richard Petty. Hamlin drove the No. 11 to the most recent victory in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, capping a 2013 season interrupted by injury and fraught with frustration with a win in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

      Hamlin, however, has never won a race at Daytona International Speedway. In fact, the No. 11 hasn't seen Victory Lane at the 2.5-mile superspeedway since Cale Yarborough triumphed in the 1977 Daytona 500 en route to the second of his three straight championships.

        Thursday's Olympic hockey cheat sheet

        Here's a look at Thursday's Olympic men's hockey action (odds courtesy Bet365):

        Finland vs. Austria (+1,300)

        The Finns (+1,300 to win gold) are no longer the elite threat they once were, thanks in large part to an aging cluster of stars. Teemu Selanne is the most notable of the greybeards, competing in his sixth and final Olympic tournament to cap a Hall of Fame career. Injuries to Mikko Koivu and Valtteri Filppula leave the offense in the hands of a young corps that includes Minnesota forward Mikael Granlund and Florida center Aleksander Barkov, who join veterans Olli Jokinen, Jussi Jokinen and Tuomo Ruutu. The goaltending trio is the strongest of any team in the tournament, with Tuukka Rask leading the way.

        Austria (+150,000) hasn't finished better than 12th at the Games since NHL players began participating - and doesn't appear to be in good shape of cracking the top-10 with a roster consisting largely of domestic club teams. The forward corps boasts the only three NHLers on the team - Islanders teammates Thomas Vanek and Michael Grabner and Philadelphia Flyers rookie Michael Raffl. The remainder of the roster has plenty of experience playing together, but has yet to prove itself on the international stage and will be hard-pressed to keep up with a talented Finnish side.

        NOTES

        * Finland has medaled in four of the last five Olympic competitions.
        * Vanek ranks fourth on the Islanders in points (40), while Grabner is seventh (20).
        * Selanne has 20 goals and 17 assists in 31 career games in the Olympics.
        * None of the Austrian netminders (Bernhard Starkbaum, Rene Swette, Fabian Weinhandl) was drafted by an NHL team.


        Russia vs. Slovenia (+2,000)

        The host Russians (+200) are considered a co-favorite, along with Canada, to take home the gold. Few teams will be able to match the firepower of a Russian forward collection that includes NHL goal-scoring leader Alex Ovechkin, former scoring champion Evgeni Malkin, former NHL superstar Ilya Kovalchuk and ex-Nashville Predators sniper Alexander Radulov. The defense is suspect - led by Montreal Canadiens teammates Andrei Markov and Alexei Emelin - while the goaltending crew is anchored by Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky.

        The Slovenians (+200,000) face the longest odds of any team in the competition - and it's almost unfair that they have to open the tournament against the powerhouse Russians. Slovenia's first-ever taste of Olympic hockey will be a moment to savor, but the chances of the country putting up any semblance of a fight are remote. The country does have one NHL player on the roster - and it's a rather good one in Los Angeles Kings forward Anze Kopitar. But he shouldn't expect to get much help from a team made up of players from leagues in 10 different countries.

        NOTES

        * Ovechkin has 40 goals, nine more than runner-up Phil Kessel.
        * Kopitar leads the Kings with 47 points (17 goals, 30 assists).
        * The Russian roster features 15 players from the NHL and 10 from the KHL.
        * Slovenia qualified for its first Games appearance by winning an Olympic qualification tournament last February.


        Slovakia vs. United States (-333)

        Optimism abounds for the Slovaks (+4,000), who are on the periphery of medal contention but are bolstered by one of the strongest rosters in their history. Led by Marian Gaborik and Marian Hossa, Slovakia boasts a talented - and potentially underrated - group of forwards who should excel on the larger ice surface. The defense is led by towering Boston Bruins hulk Zdeno Chara, an all-world talent who can change the complexion of a game by himself. Jaroslav Halak and Peter Budaj provide a solid 1-2 punch in goal.

        The Americans aren't considered in the same class of contenders as Canada or Russia, but sleep on them at your peril. They possess one of the fastest and most versatile forward groups in the competition, led by 31-goal man Kessel, Chicago Blackhawks superstar Patrick Kane, snipers Zach Parise and Max Pacioretty and bruisers David Backes and Dustin Brown. The Ryan Suter-led defense is deep, while the goaltending trio of Jonathan Quick, Ryan Miller and Jimmy Howard should keep games close.

        NOTES

        * Slovakia finished fourth at the 2010 games in Vancouver, its best-ever result.
        * The United States has just two podium finishes - both silver medals - since its 1980 Miracle on Ice gold.
        * Halak is 11th in the NHL in goals-against average among qualifying netminders (2.26), but just 23rd in save percentage (.915).
        * Kessel (65 points) and Kane (63) are fourth and fifth, respectively, in the NHL scoring race.


        Canada vs. Norway (+2,000)

        The Canadians (+175) come in ready to defend the title they won on Sidney Crosby's "golden goal" on home soil four years earlier. Crosby returns to lead the most dominant and explosive offense in the tournament; he'll have plenty of help from Blackhawks star Jonathan Toews, Islanders center John Tavares and Anaheim Ducks duo Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. A big, physical defense led by Duncan Keith and Jay Bouwmeester will make life miserable for opposing forwards, while Carey Price and Roberto Luongo form an impressive - if inconsistent - net tandem.

        The odds of a podium finish are remote for the Norwegians (+20,000), but they're capable of putting a good scare into any team in the tournament. They boast a disciplined forward corps led by New York Rangers phenom Mats Zuccarello, and will almost certainly adopt a defensive system designed to limit opposition chances while looking for a chance to counterattack. The defense is guided by former NHLer Ole-Kristian Tollefsen, while the goaltending situation borders on dire - particularly if Norway struggles to contain opposing forwards.

        NOTES

        * Canada employs the top three NHL scorers in Crosby (78), Getzlaf (67) and Tavares (66).
        * Zuccarello has 15 goals and 28 assists in 58 games with the Rangers.
        * The Canadians are returning 11 players who led the club to gold in Vancouver.
        * Norwegian forward Patrick Thoresen, another former NHLer, had 18 points in eight games at the World Championships in 2012.

          MLB roundup: Jeter to retire after 2014 season

          New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter announced Wednesday on his Facebook page that the 2014 season will be his last in the major leagues.

          Jeter, who turns 40 in June, will enter his final season with 3,316 hits, which ranks 10th in baseball history, and a career .312 batting average. His accomplishments include five World Series championships, five Gold Gloves and the 1996 American League Rookie of the Year Award.

          Last season signaled the beginning of the end for Jeter. A broken ankle suffered in the American League playoffs in October 2012 was slow to heal and he played in only 17 games in 2013.

          "So really it was months ago when I realized that this season would likely be my last," Jeter wrote on Facebook. "As I came to this conclusion and shared it with my friends and family, they all told me to hold off saying anything until I was absolutely 100 percent sure."

          Jeter's last regular-season game would be Sept. 28 against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park and his last appearance in Yankee Stadium, barring the Yankees reach the playoffs, would be Sept. 25 against the Baltimore Orioles.


          ---Closer Greg Holland reached agreement with the Kansas City Royals on a one-year, $4.675 million contract.

          The 28-year-old Holland is coming off an impressive 2013 season that included 47 saves and a 1.21 ERA with 103 strikeouts in 67 innings.


          ---Relief pitcher Jose Valverde reached agreement on a minor league contract with the New York Mets.

          A former closer for the Detroit Tigers, Valverde had 35 saves in 2012 and has 286 for his career. But he was released by the Tigers last August after posting an 0-1 record with nine saves and a 5.59 ERA in 20 appearances in 2013.


          ---The Philadelphia Phillies signed free-agent pitcher AJ Burnett to a one-year contract. The deal is worth $16 million for the 37-year-old right-hander, Fox Sports reported.

          Burnett pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates the past two seasons and it was assumed that he would return to the Pirates or retire. He mulled stepping away from the game permanently during the winter and the Pirates did not make him a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer, but he decided to return for one more season.


          ---The Cleveland Indians reached an agreement with right-hander Kyle Davies on a minor league contract that included an invitation to spring training.

          The 30-year-old Davies is attempting a comeback from shoulder surgery that forced him to miss the 2012 season and pitch in the minor leagues in the Minnesota Twins' organization last season.


          ---Detroit Tigers minor league catcher Ronny Paulino was suspended for 100 games and Seattle Mariners minor league outfielder Cavan Cohoes received a 50-game suspension from Major League Baseball for violation of the drug prevention and treatment program.

          For Paulino, it is the second violation. He was suspended for 50 games in 2010-2011. Currently on the Triple-A roster of the Toledo Mud Hens, Paulino will sit out once the season begins. He tested positive for exogenous testosterone.


          ---Seattle Mariners right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma has a strained tendon in the middle finger of his throwing hand that will sideline him for four to six weeks.

          Iwakuma was injured while working out at home in January in southern California, the Tacoma News Tribune reported.

          Last season, Iwakuma finished third in the American League Cy Young Award voting after posting a 14-6 record with a 2.66 ERA, 42 walks and 185 strikeouts in 220 innings.

                  Three NCAA tournament long shots that deserve a long look
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  Striking it big in March means shopping for value in February. With conference play coming to a close and the madness on the way, now is the best time to play the NCAA tournament futures odds.

                  If you're looking for some live long shots to have their "One Shining Moment" at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, these three programs are packed with potential and perhaps profits.

                  UCLA Bruins (+6,000)

                  Sitting second in the Pac-12, you won't find better value than UCLA when you look at their offensive numbers. Under first-year head coach Steve Alford, the Bruins sit in the Top 25 in points per game (82.9%, 13th), field goal percentage (49%, 11th), 3-point percentage (39.5%, 22nd), and free-throw percentage (75%, 19th). Blessed with a wide array of perimeter shooters and an up-tempo style, UCLA is the type of team that can run through the tournament if it gets hot.The Bruins have played tough teams in Duke and Arizona this season, so they will be well prepared come March.


                  Texas Longhorns (+7,500)

                  After struggling earlier in the season, the Longhorns have compiled an impressive tournament resume since Big 12 play tipped off. Wins over top teams in Iowa State, Kansas, and Oklahoma State have proven that Texas can hang with elite talent as the Longhorns have stepped up their play over the past 10 games. Sitting fifth in the NCCA in rebounding with 42.4 per game, the Longhorns' length and athleticism have already frustrated some tournament favorites. That can't be ignored when looking at underdogs that can make a run.


                  Pittsburgh Panthers (+7,500)

                  Losses to Duke and Virginia may have cooled off Pittsburgh's stock slightly, but the Panthers make this list based on their strong defense. They're currently holding opponents to a 60 points per game on 40.1 percent shooting. Those are very good defensive numbers and could frustrate opponents come tournament time. If leading scorer Lamar Patterson (17.2 PPG) can help the offense do its job, while the defense keeps teams off the scoreboard, Pitt could be poised to make a deep run.

                    Game of the Day: Thunder at Lakers
                    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers (+11.5, 206.5)

                    The Los Angeles Lakers will attempt to avoid being saddled with the longest home losing streak in franchise history when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. The Lakers lost to the Utah Jazz on Tuesday for their sixth straight home loss, equaling a dismal stretch from the 1992-93 season. Oklahoma City owns the best record in the Western Conference and has been soaring with 14 victories in its last 16 games.

                    Thunder star Kevin Durant has recorded 32 30-point games this season and the latest effort was a 36-point outing in Tuesday’s victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Durant has picked us his scoring prowess even more than usual with point guard Russell Westbrook (knee) out and he continues to lead the NBA with a 31.2 scoring average. The injury riddled Lakers will be without point guard Steve Nash (back, hamstring) and second-leading scorer Nick Young (knee) but point guard Steve Blake (elbow) is expected to play.

                    LINE HISTORY:
                    Oklahoma City opened -11 and was bet up to -11.5. The total opened 207 and dropped to 206.5.

                    POWER RANKINGS:
                    Thunder (-14.5) - Lakers (+1.0) + Home Court (-3.0) = Thunder -12.5

                    INJURY WATCH:
                    Thunder - Russell Westbrook (Out - knee). Lakers - Steve Blake (Prob. - arm), Xavier Henry (Out - knee), Pau Gasol (Out - groin), Steve Nash (Out - leg), Nick Young (Out - knee), Kobe Bryant (Out - knee)

                    ABOUT THE THUNDER (42-12 SU, 32-22 ATS, 27-27 O/U):
                    Few people thought Oklahoma City could sail into the All-Star break with the best record in the West with Westbrook out but that is indeed the case. “We’re a resilient team,” Durant said after the win over Portland. “We’ve kept our heads up through adversity and tough times. That’s just how we are as an organization.” Guard Reggie Jackson (13.6) has expanded his game with Westbrook out and reserve Jeremy Lamb (10 points per game) has added scoring punch off the bench.

                    ABOUT THE LAKERS (18-34 SU, 27-24-1 ATS, 28-24 O/U):
                    Nash’s injury issues have started a clamor in which observers and fans are calling on him to retire. The 40-year-old Nash is under contract for next season and he told reporters on Wednesday that he isn’t paying any attention to the opinions about his future. “I’m kind of oblivious to the noise,” Nash said. “I think after 18 years, you’re not really as affected by it anyways. I didn’t pound my chest when people told me I was great for a long time in my career and I’m not going to let it affect me when people think that I should look at myself in the mirror.”

                    TRENDS:

                    * Over is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.
                    * Thunder are 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.
                    * Lakers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven vs. Western Conference.
                    * Thunder are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games.

                    CONSENSUS:
                    61 percent of bets are on the Thunder (-11.5) and 65 percent are on the Over 206.5

                        PRESS BOX: NCAA could change hurry-up offense rules

                        COLLEGE FOOTBALL

                        The NCAA Football Rules Committee recommended on Wednesday a change for the 2014 season that will allow defensive units to substitute within the first 10 seconds of the 40-second play clock.

                        The exception would be the final two minutes of each half.

                        Under this rule proposal, a hurry-up offense will not be allowed to snap the ball until the play clock reaches 29 seconds or less. If the offense snaps the ball before the play clock reaches 29 seconds, a 5-yard, delay-of-game penalty will be assessed.

                        Under current rules, defensive players are not guaranteed an opportunity to substitute unless the offense substitutes first. This part of the rule will remain in place in scenarios where the play clock starts at 25 seconds.

                        The rules committee also proposed an alteration involving the instant-replay review on targeting fouls, which includes the ejection of the player committing the foul along with a 15-yard penalty.

                        The committee recommends that if the instant replay official rules that a disqualification should not have occurred, and if the targeting foul is not accompanied by another personal foul, the 15-yard penalty for targeting should not be enforced.

                        All rules proposals must be approved by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which will discuss the football rules changes March 6.

                        ---East Carolina defensive end Terrell Stanley was hospitalized in critical condition after a car accident on Wednesday morning.

                        Stanley was driving and offensive lineman Isaac Harris was his passenger when the single-car accident occurred. The players were taken to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, N.C. Harris was released after a precautionary examination.

                        ---Rutgers and the American Athletic Conference reached an agreement on a exit fee that clears the final hurdle to become a member of the Big Ten on July 1.

                        The school the the ACC announced that litigation betwen the two sides was settled. No financial terms were announced, but according to ESPN, Rutgers will pay a $11.5 million separation fee, which is more than the $11 million that Louisville paid to move from the AAC to the ACC.

                        Minnesota Timberwolves guard Kevin Martin could be out two to three weeks after suffering a broken thumb last Friday.

                        After Martin suffered the non-displaced fracture in his left thumb in the Timberwolves' 98-91 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, he was examined by a hand specialist and will be rechecked in two to three weeks, USA Today reported.

                        ---Less than a year after Seattle failed in its bid to bring the Sacramento Kings' franchise to the Pacific Northwest, new NBA commissioner Adam Silver indicated this week that the league has no immediate plans to expand there.

                        "Seattle is a wonderful market. It would be very additive to the league to have a team there," Silver told ESPN. "But we're not planning on expanding right now, so it's not a function of price."

                              Atlantis sportsbook first to post 2014 MLB season win totals

                              One of the sure signs of spring in Reno, Nevada is the first MLB win totals of the season hitting the board at the Atlantis sportsbook.

                              Steve Mikkelson, sportsbook manager at Atlantis, has been the first one in the industry to post MLB season win totals for some time now, doing it again with Thursday’s release of the popular Over/Under props for each of the 30 major league clubs. Mikkelson says every year is different and presents its own unique challenges.

                              “For me, the parts I struggle with the most are those teams that didn’t play up to expectations and those that exceeded expectations last year,” Mikkelson tells Covers. “You’re trying to figure out if they’re for real and will that continue going forward.”

                              Teams like the San Francisco Giants, Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox, and Los Angeles Angels forced Mikkelson to check and recheck his numbers before officially opening wagering on Thursday afternoon.

                              Overall, the one division that gave him the most headaches was the National League West. The Los Angeles Dodgers are at the top of the NL West and earned Mikkelson’s highest season win total at 92.5, which is still behind the 2011 Philadelphia Phillies, who saw win totals as high as 97. Last season, the Detroit Tigers earned to loftiest win total at 94.5, finishing just Under at 93-69 in 2013.

                              “How high can you go with the Dodgers? Everyone is expecting them to win and anything less than a World Series will be a disappointment for the team and the fans,” says Mikkelson. “You really have to find that number that will bring balance.”

                              The Dodgers’ California rivals, the Giants, are also a tough team to peg. Due to San Francisco’s closeness to Northern Nevada, Mikkelson says the Giants are often the most-bet team on the win totals board. That’s an even stickier situation when you consider how up-and-down San Francisco has been in recent years.

                              “They have a down year, then win the World Series. Then have a down year, then win the World Series,” Mikkelson says of the Giants, who have a win total of 86.5. “Where are they this year? I do know everyone is going to bet them Over though.”

                              Another California club that could be a wild card when it comes to season win totals are the Los Angeles Angels. The Halos boast one of the best teams in the bigs – on paper – but due to injuries and a decline in starting pitcher, L.A. wasn’t able to meet the expectations set last season.

                              The Atlantis opened the Angels with a season win total of 89.5 in 2013, and the team put in a disappointing 78-84 campaign. This time around, Mikkelson isn’t going as high as last year but does expect an improvement from last season's efforts, tabbing the Halos at 84.5 wins.

                              “There is so much talent and such a big payroll. But, as we’ve seen, big payrolls rarely win World Series,” he says. “Is Albert Pujols going to be hurt again all year? Can Josh Hamilton get back to his form? Jered Weaver is losing zip on his fastball every season. And they still have one of the best players in baseball in Mike Trout.”

                              At the bottom of the board, in terms of expected season wins, sit the lowly Houston Astros. Last year, Mikkelson painted the Astros with a 59.5 win total – the lowest number he can remember booking. He’s breaking that all-time low with a 57.5 season win total for Houston in 2014.

                              “Besides just being terrible, there’s a big problem for the Astros this season,” says Mikkelson. “They’re a better team, in my eyes, but the rest of the American League West has gotten better too. The Mariners will be better, the Angels should rebound and the Rangers and A’s win continue to play good baseball. Those four other teams have gotten better, so I don’t know where the Astros are getting those wins from.”

                              The biggest movers and shakers on the MLB season win total board, in terms of difference between last year’s win expectations and this season, are the World Champion Boston Red Sox – 79.5 in 2013 to 87.5 in 2014 – and the Pittsburgh Pirates – 79 in 2013 to 86.5 in 2014. The Chicago Cubs went from 72 in 2013 to 65.5 this year, and the Toronto Blue Jays dropped from 86.5 in 2013 to 77.5 for this upcoming season.

                              Here’s the full list of 2014 MLB season win totals from the Atlantis Resort Spa Sportsbook in Reno, Nevada:
