Patriots sign veteran RB Pass

Football Betting Lines

06/04/2009 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New England Patriots signed veteran running back Patrick Pass and released four players on Thursday.

Pass, who was a member of the Patriots from 2000-06, played in just one game for the New York Giants in 2007 and was out of football last season.

The 5-foot-10, 217-pound Pass, who won three Super Bowls with New England, played in 78 regular-season games (11 starts) during his time with the Patriots. He started at fullback during New England's Super Bowl XXXIX victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

In 79 career games in the NFL, Pass has rushed for 526 yards on 128 attempts with three touchdowns. He also has caught 66 passes for 570 yards with one TD. The 31-year-old has 50 tackles on special teams.

New England also released defensive lineman Kenny Smith, linebacker Angelo Craig, running back Omar Cuff, and defensive back Marcus McClinton.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
