Edmonds, Mulder headline list of free agents
Baseball Betting Lines
11/03/2006 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jim Edmonds and Mark Mulder, centerfielder and starting pitcher for the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals, were among 13 players to file for free agency Thursday.
Edmonds hit .257 with 19 home runs and 70 RBI in 2006. He has hit .289 in 14 seasons, seven each in Anaheim and St. Louis.
Mulder finished 6-7 with a 7.14 ERA in a season marred by shoulder problems. He had arthroscopic surgery on the shoulder in September, and was left off St. Louis' playoff roster. Mulder is 103-57 with a 4.11 ERA in seven seasons with Oakland and St. Louis.
Also among players filing were Dodgers centerfielder Kenny Lofton and Padres catcher Mike Piazza. The Padres had declined Piazza's option for 2007.
The 38-year old Piazza hit .283 with 22 home runs and 68 runs batted in 126 games for the Padres in 2006. His 22 home runs set a single-season record for a San Diego catcher and, on April 26, he became the 41st player in major league history to reach the 400 home run plateau.
Over 15 major league seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Florida, New York Mets and Padres, Piazza became the best hitting catcher in big league history with a .309 career batting average, 419 home runs and 1,291 RBI. His 396 long balls as a backstop is a major league record.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
