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 Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
