Ex-Cardinal Watch 3-9-08

Dmitri Young(Nationals):
He went 4 for 5 in the minor league game, in which he hit third in every inning, not playing in the field.

Daric Barton(Athletics):
Rookie Daric Barton, who took batting practice on Sunday for the first time in eight days, pinch-hit in the bottom of the eighth inning. He struck out swinging and then went in to play first base. Barton missed seven consecutive games because of soreness on the outside of his left hand. He's 0-for-8 this spring.

Chris Narveson(Brewers):
Left-hander Chris Narveson sailed through the first four scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk, while striking out a pair.

Brett Tomko(Royals):
Right-hander Brett Tomko, projected as the Royals' No. 4 starter, had a rough outing on Sunday. But so did almost every other Royals pitcher in a 13-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs.

Coco Crisp(RedSox) & Jason Marquis(Cubs):
While major league sources indicate the Chicago Cubs have Coco Crisp on their wish list, the Red Sox have no interest in expendable starting pitcher Jason Marquis or Arizona League MVP outfielder Sam Fuld.

Mark Sweeney(Dodgers):
Mark Sweeney had his left knee drained of fluid earlier this week. He said he had microfracture surgery on the knee at the end of the 2006 season and had no problem with it last year, but it flared up this week. He hasn't played since Tuesday. He also still plans to make the China trip.

Sidney Ponson(Rangers):
With Brandon McCarthy sidelined 4-6 weeks due to elbow inflammation, the Rangers have signed pitcher Sidney Ponson to a Minor League contract and added him to their Spring Training roster.

Matt Morris(Pirates):
The young Pirates pitchers who might be seeking wisdom from veteran Matt Morris got an important lesson Saturday watching his second spring start turn into his first loss -- don't overstay your arm's stamina.
