Mets sign Nunez to minor league deal

Baseball Betting Lines

05/20/2008 - Atlanta, GA (Baseball Betting) - The New York Mets signed infielder Abraham Nunez to a minor league contract on Monday. He will report to New Orleans of the Pacific Coast League.

The 32-year-old Nunez signed a minor league deal with Milwaukee on January 23, 2008, but was released on Saturday.

Nunez spent his last two seasons in Philadelphia, hitting .234 with 16 RBI while appearing in 136 games in 2007. Largely used in a platoon role at third base or as a late-inning defensive replacement, Nunez made nine errors in 225 chances at the hot corner last season, good for a .960 fielding percentage.

The switch-hitting Dominican's best season came in 2005, when he hit .285 with five home runs and 44 RBI in 139 games for the St. Louis Cardinals. In seven playoff games during his one season with the Cardinals, Nunez went 9-for-24 (.375) at the plate, helping St. Louis reach the NLCS.

Nunez spent his first eight major league campaigns with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and has a .242 career batting average to go with 18 homers and 209 RBI.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
