Southern Nevada's Bryce Harper wins Golden Spikes AwardCbaseball Betting Lines07/13/2010 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Southern Nevada slugger Bryce Harper, the top overall pick in the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, has won the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award, presented to the top amateur baseball player in the nation. Chris Duffy (Central Florida), Yasmani Grandal (Miami [Fla.]), Drew Pomeranz (Mississippi) and Chris Sale (Florida Gulf Coast) were the other finalists for the award. "This year's five finalists for the Golden Spikes Award presented our voting committee with another difficult challenge," said Paul Seiler, USA Baseball Executive Director/CEO. Despite being just 17 years old, Harper starred for the College of Southern Nevada, hitting .443 with 31 home runs, 98 RBI, a .987 slugging percentage and a .526 on-base-percentage in 66 games. This marks the second time in the history of the award that a junior college player has won it. Alex Fernandez (Miami Dade CC) took home the trophy in 1990. Stephen Strasburg, who pitched for San Diego State and broke into the majors this year with the Washington Nationals, won the GSA last year. San Francisco catcher/first baseman Buster Posey won the award in 2008. Tampa Bay's David Price, the American League starter for this year's All-Star Game, won the GSA in 2007. Arizona State's Bob Horner won the first Golden Spikes Award in 1978.

Big 12 Conference betting odds Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State Work left to do: Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on. Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough. Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
