Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2010 Training Camp Preview

Football Betting Lines

07/22/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) -

REPORT DATE: July 30th

SITE: One Buccaneer Place, Tampa, FL

CAMP OBJECTIVES: With one of the youngest and least certain rosters in football, August will be a critical month for the Buccaneers and head coach Raheem Morris. Offensively, the Bucs need to see continued development from second-year quarterback Josh Freeman, which won't be easy given how thin the team is at receiver and on the offensive line. At wideout, Tampa Bay needs a rookie like Arrelious Benn (2nd Round, Illinois) or Mike Williams (4th Round, Syracuse) to navigate the sharp learning curve, especially since Michael Clayton looks like the closest thing to a No. 1 receiver on this team. Otherwise, the big question marks are on defense, which Morris himself will coordinate this season. The NFL's worst run-stopping team of a year ago needs immediate contributions from tackles Gerald McCoy (1st Round, Oklahoma) and Brian Price (2nd Round, UCLA), must have a player like Tim Crowder or Kyle Moore prove worthy of a starting job at a depleted end position, and would like to see secondary newcomers like safety Sean Jones and third-round corner Myron Lewis (Vanderbilt) make an impact.

PRESEASON SCHEDULE:

Aug 14 - at Miami, 7:00 PM Aug 21 - vs. Kansas City, 7:30 PM Aug 28 - vs. Jacksonville, 7:30 PM Sep 2 - at Houston, 8:00 PM

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.
