Diao close to signing new Stoke deal

Soccer Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Stoke-on-Trent, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stoke City midfielder Salif Diao is close to agreeing a new contract to remain at the Britannia Stadium.

The 32-year-old Senegal international is out of contract and had been interesting several unnamed European clubs, according to his agent.

However, representative Gary Mellor now claims the former Liverpool midfielder is ready to accept a new deal to stay with the Potters.

"I have had long discussions with (chief executive) Tony Scholes, (manager) Tony Pulis and Salif and we are 99 percent there," Mellor told The Sentinel.

"Salif loves playing for Tony Pulis and has a great respect for him.

"He has had offers from Italy and France, but Tony Pulis has made it clear that Salif is a big part of his plans.

"Salif is very close to committing himself to a further year."

Diao made 20 Premier League appearances for the Potters last season after bouncing back from injury.

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.
