06/12/2009 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Pro Bowl quarterback Trent Green has reportedly decided to retire after 15 seasons in the NFL.

FOXSports.com is saying on its website that Green told them he has decided to retire from the sport after talking things over with his family.

Green began his career with San Diego in 1993 and earned a Super Bowl ring with St. Louis in 2000, but he played his best seasons in Kansas City and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2003 and 2005 with the team.

Starting in 2003, he threw for over 4,000 yards the next three seasons, but suffered a severe concussion halfway through the 2006 season and had another concussion the next season with Miami.

He signed on with St. Louis in 2008 and appeared in three games with one start.

Over his 15 seasons, he posted a record of 56-57 and threw for 27,475 yards along with 162 touchdowns and 114 interceptions. He had a completion percentage of 60.6 percent and added six touchdowns on the ground.

In addition to San Diego, St. Louis, Kansas City and Miami, he also spent four seasons with Washington.

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.''
