10/14/2008 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees announced Tuesday that they will not renew the contract of third-base coach Bobby Meacham, and that they have dismissed pitching instructor Rich Monteleone.
Meacham was one of the two original coaches tabbed by Yankees manager Joe Girardi when he was hired in November 2007. Meacham, who was Girardi's third base coach with the Florida Marlins, replaced Larry Bowa, who took the same job with the Los Angeles Dodgers. A former infielder, Meacham played for the Yankees from 1983 to 1988.
Monteleone, a former first-round pick by the Detroit Tigers who pitched 10 seasons in the big leagues with the Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Yankees and San Francisco Giants, had been a Yankees instructor for the past four seasons after serving as a bullpen coach from 2002-04.
The other members Girardi's staff -- bullpen coach Mike Harkey, hitting coach Kevin Long, bench coach Rob Thomson, first-base coach Tony Pena and pitching coach Dave Eiland -- are all expected to return. The Yankees finished in third place in the AL East at 89-73 this season, Girardi's first with the club.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
