Padres Helps Season With Rodriguez

Baseball Betting Lines

Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Pittsburgh Pirates have avoided arbitration with Evan Meek, signing the reliever to a one-year contract. Meek endured a forgettable 2011 campaign as injuries limited him to only 24 games.

 

The 28-year-old right-hander was coming off an All-Star season in which he posted a 2.14 earned run average in a career-high 70 appearances.

 

Pittsburgh also signed left-hander Doug Slaten to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. The soon-to-be 32-year-old has posted a 3.60 ERA in 206 career trips out of the bullpen with Arizona and Washington.

 

In six seasons with Minnesota, Liriano is 47-42 with 679 strikeouts, 269 walks and a 4.19 ERA.

 

Liriano will make $5.5 million in 2012, while Perkins will collect $1.55 million.

 

San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Francisco Giants have avoided arbitration with Nate Schierholtz, signing the outfielder to a one- year contract. Schierholtz hit .278 with nine home runs and 41 RBI in 115 games with the Giants last season.

 

Volquez, a 28-year-old righty hurler, was acquired in a five-player trade which sent Mat Latos to Cincinnati. He rose to prominence in 2008, going 17-6 with a 3.21 ERA in his first year with the Reds. Last season, he went 5-7 with a 5.71 ERA.

 

Quentin, a two-time All-Star and former Silver Slugger Award winner, was acquired from the White Sox in exchange for pitchers Simon Castro and Pedro Hernandez. The 29-year-old catcher has belted at least 21 home runs in each of the last four seasons. In 2011, he batted .254 with 24 home runs, a career- high 31 doubles and 77 RBI in 118 games.

 

Headley, 27, posted a career-best .289 average in 113 games for the Padres last season. The switch-hitter added 44 RBI and 43 runs scored and hit .352 against lefties -- the second-highest mark among qualifying NL players.
