Dolphins release QB White, TE Martin on cut day

Football Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - Davie, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Quarterback Pat White and tight end David Martin were among the prominent players released by the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, as the team pared its roster to the 53-player minimum.

White was selected in the second-round (No. 44 overall) of the 2009 Draft after a star-studded career at West Virginia, but did not develop enough as a passer to warrant a roster spot and scarcely played during the preseason.

Martin, an eight-year NFL veteran who appeared in 31 games with the Dolphins in 2007-08, was released after being re-signed by the team last month. Martin missed all of the 2009 season due to knee surgery.

Also released by the Dolphins were safety Jonathon Amaya, defensive tackle Ryan Baker, defensive end Lionel Dotson, guard Ray Feinga, linebacker J.D. Folsom, offensive lineman Andrew Gardner, offensive lineman Andrew Hartline, cornerback Kevin Hobbs, fullback Rolly Lumbala, linebacker Chris McCoy, defensive back Nate Ness, wide receiver Julius Pruitt, linebacker Austin Spitler, defensive tackle Montavious Stanley, guard Donald Thomas, wide receiver Patrick Turner, linebacker Erik Walden and safety Ross Weaver.

Thomas started 12 games for the Dolphins at guard last season, while Turner was a third-round pick of the team in 2009.

Miami opens its regular season next Sunday, when it travels to meet the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills.

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.''
