Jarvis Green Goes to Denver

In the initial days of the free agency chaos, Jarvis Green sat back and waited until he heard from Denver. The 31 year old defensive end from the New England Patriots has agreed to a four year deal with the Broncos. The deal is worth $20 million and will guarantee him $7.5 million during the next two years. He has been with the Patriots for the past eight seasons. He is known as an interior rusher especially during pass plays. Green has 28 sacks and 233 tackles with the New England team.

 

Jarvis Green was mostly used as a backup for Richard Seymour until he took over for Seymour after he was traded to the Oakland Raiders in 2009. His most notable game is perhaps the 2003 AFC title game when he was able to sack Peyton Manning twice. He is the last of three players, which played during the Super Bowl era for the Patriots. While at Denver, he will be able to play with former teammates Jabar Gaffney, Daniel Graham, Russ Hochstein and Lonnie Paxton.

Jarvis Green was plagued by injuries during the 2008 season suffering from ankle issues. Last season, he was plaqued by the injuries and only played in 13 games and started 12. He did miss three games in November, after having knee surgery performed. He was able to get 36 tackles and one sack even with the short amount of time that he played. The New England Patriots have reached a deal with Marques Murrell, the previous New York Jets defensive end. This will hopefully begin to fill the gap in their defensive unit. They will probably have to look toward the upcoming draft in order to find additional defensive players.

MLB  |  May 17
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Houston Astros		 Milwaukee Brewers
-141  at  5DIMES		 > 11h.
With a day off on Wednesday in MLB we look to get back on a hot streak as we are still up big on the season. Thursday we have a total of nine pitchers with ERA's under 3.00 over their last three starts combined and a total of five pitchers with ERA's over 6.00 over their last three combined starts. There was one match up that stuck out and we marked them down as our POD.

Mark the Brewers Down! ( -140 2.5* FREE PLAY )
For whatever reason Shaun Marcum has loved to pitch on the road as he has an ERA of 3.20 over the last three years on the road. That's much better than his home record and he's back at it again with a 2.77 ERA this year. He's been great of late posting a 1.80 ERA, but the Brewers lost 2 of 3. He should be motivated to keep that up so he can get a W and the Astros are the team to do it against. He's got a 1.80 ERA over 3 starts vs. the Astros who carry just a .637 OPS in 73 AB vs. Marcum. A few weeks ago I'd be on the Astros, but they are starting to come back to earth as they are now 24th with a .686 OPS vs. RHP while the Brewers are 8th with a .737 OPS vs. LHP.

The Brewers are 8th and they face J.A. Happ who they have dominated. Happ and the Astros are 10-30 in their last 40 with Happ on the mound. He's really not the player they thought he'd be when they traded Roy Oswalt for him. Happ has a 5.40 ERA at home right now and the Brewers have a 1.139 OPS over 80 AB in their careers vs. Happ who carries a 6.08 ERA over the last three years vs. the Brewers. Brewers are 18-7 in their last 25 after Wednesday's loss to the Astros and are 47-17 in their last 64 vs. a losing team. Mark down the Brewers as a victory for Thursday.

Notable Hot Starters:
R.A. Dickey (2-1, 1.15 WHIP, 2.70 ERA)
Matt Cain (2-1, 0.90 WHIP, 2.14 ERA)
James McDonals (2-1, 1.05 WHIP, 2.05 ERA)
Brandon Beachy (2-1, 0.93 WHIP, 2.33 ERA)
Edinson Volquez (3-0, 1.20 WHIP, 1.47 ERA)
Doug Fister (1-2, 0.90 WHIP, 0.54 ERA)
Brandon McCarthy (3-0, 0.97 WHIP, 1.31 EAR)
Chris Sale (1-2, 1.00 WHIP, 2.84 ERA)

Cold Starter Of The Day:
On Thursday we have an ice cold starter that makes for an interesting match up in Luke Hochevar of the Royals. First of the Royals have been red hot since their cold start and Hochevar needs to get with the program. Against the Orioles he could do just that as he has great numbers vs. them in 96 combined at bats the Orioles have a .198 average and .590 OPS.

Notable Cold Starters:
J.A. Happ (1-2, 1.59 WHIP, 7.16 ERA)
Matt Moore (1-2, 1.86 WHIP, 6.43 ERA)
Matt Harrison (1-2, 1.41 WHIP, 8.27 ERA)
Chris Volstad (0-3, 1.71 WHIP, 7.94 ERA)
