Seton Hall's Pope rushed to hospital

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/29/2010 - South Orange, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seton Hall basketball player Herb Pope was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after collapsing during an afternoon workout session.

The Newark Star-Ledger reported he was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital and underwent testing. No further details have been released.

Pope led the Big East in rebounding with 10.7 per-game last season, along with 11.5 points and 2.0 assists. He then declared for the NBA draft but did not hire an agent.

The 6-8 transfer forward from New Mexico State has experienced multiple issues in his life. While at New Mexico State, Pope was shot in March 2007 after leaving a party. Also, in the final game of the 2009 season against Texas Tech -- a first round matchup of the National Invitational Tournament -- Pope was ejected after punching a player twice below the belt.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
