Rays OF Upton undergoes shoulder surgery

Baseball Betting Lines

11/12/2008 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tampa Bay Rays center fielder B.J. Upton underwent a procedure Tuesday to repair a labrum in his left shoulder.

The surgery to his non-throwing shoulder was done by renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews.

In 2008, Upton batted .273 with nine homers, 67 RBI and 44 stolen bases. In the playoffs the 24-year old was sensational, batting .288 with seven homers and 16 RBI in 16 games, as the upstart Rays lost the World Series in five games to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Team vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said in a story on MLB.com that he expects Upton to be ready for Spring Training. In parts of four seasons, all with Tampa Bay, Upton has a .277 batting average with 38 homers and 171 RBI in 369 games.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
