Chipper Jones to discuss retirement Tuesday
Baseball Betting Lines
06/15/2010 -
Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chipper Jones is meeting with Braves brass
Tuesday and is reportedly considering retirement upon the conclusion of the
2010 season.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Jones is meeting with Braves manager
Bobby Cox along with general manager Frank Wren and will address the media
afterward. The paper indicated Jones will likely announce his retirement after
17 seasons with the club.
Jones signed a three-year $42 million contract extension before the 2009
campaign that runs through 2012 an includes an option for 2013. Jones turned
38 in April and saw his production slide in 2009 while injuries continued to
mount.
He's currently dealing with a sore ring finger that sidelined him for a
majority of Atlanta's recently completed 11-game road trip and has dealt with
a multitude of injuries in recent years.
Jones is a six-time All-Star, was the 1999 NL MVP and won a batting title
nearly a decade later with a .364 average in 2008. Regarded as one of the
greatest switch-hitters in baseball history, Jones hit 20 or more home runs in
14 straight seasons (1995-2008), drove in over 100 runs eight straight years
(1996-2003) and hit over .300 10 times.
A potential future Hall of Famer, Jones has a .306 lifetime average with 429
home runs, 1,467 RBI, a .406 on-base percentage and has walked more times than
he has struck out (1,383-1,258).
In an era that has witnessed some of the game's biggest stars donning new
uniforms as free agent contracts skyrocket, Jones will finish his career with
the same club that drafted him first overall in 1990.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.
It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
