Baseball Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to terms with pitcher Mike Hampton on a minor league contract.

The 37-year-old southpaw will report to Triple-A Reno to begin his comeback attempt to the big leagues.

Hampton made 21 starts for Houston last season, going 7-10 with a 5.30 ERA.

He has compiled a 148-115 record with a 4.07 earned run average over 409 games, 355 as a starter, during his 15-season career with the Mariners, Astros, Mets, Rockies and Braves.

Seattle selected Hampton in the sixth round of the 1990 draft and he broke into the major leagues with the Mariners three years later.

He was a 22-game winner in 1999 with Houston and a two-time All-Star who did not pitch during the 2006-07 seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
