San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Francisco Giants have signed
16-year-old Dominican pitcher Luis Mateo.
The 6-foot-3, 175 pound right-hander joined the Giants on the first day he was
eligible to sign with a major league club. He had been scouted by San
Francisco for the past eight months.
"The Giants are very pleased to be able to sign Luis Mateo," special assistant
to the general manager John Barr said. "He is a young, strong pitcher who
shows good command of two pitches with a plus breaking ball. Today is the
beginning of the signing season and we will continue to be aggressive in
signing players both domestically and internationally."

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.
