Indians place P Carmona on restricted list
Baseball Betting Lines
01/26/2012 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona was placed on Major League Baseball's restricted list by the Cleveland Indians on Thursday following his arrest of double identity last week.
Carmona, whose real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia, is still dealing with ongoing legal and visa issues in his native Dominican Republic. The pitcher's status for the upcoming season remains unclear.
Maximo Baez Aybar, a spokesman for the Dominican National Police, said last week through his Twitter account that Heredia is actually 31 years old, not 28.
Aybar said Heredia was apprehended on January 19 after leaving the American consulate, where he was renewing his visa.
Heredia will be ineligible to receive pay while on the restricted list. If his issues are resolved during the regular season for a return to the United States, the Indians would only have to pay a prorated portion of his contract for the remainder of the year.
A player can remain on the restricted list for two seasons. The move also frees up a spot on Cleveland's 40-man roster.
Heredia has spent his entire six-year big league career with the Indians. He went 19-8 with a 3.06 earned run average in 2007 -- his first season as a full-time starter -- but has struggled to a 33-48 record since. Last season, he went 7-15 with a 5.25 ERA in 32 starts.
The Miami Marlins are in a similar situation with the pitcher formerly known as Leo Nunez. Nunez, whose real name is Juan Carlos Oviedo, is also on the restricted list.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
