Ex-Cardinals Watch 4-11-08: Contreras Finds New Home; Drew Hits HR; Barton Knocks In Runs; Reyes Apologizes; Brown, Eckstein, Edmonds, & Renteria 2B's

Jose Contreras(Quebec):
Il y a fort à parier que les bâtons des Capitales résonneront en 2008 avec la présence de quelques frappeurs de puissance au cœur de l’alignement. Cependant, les Capitales auront aussi besoin de jeux défensifs spectaculaires et de départs de qualité. Visant à bâtir une équipe balancée tout en comblant quelques lacunes, les Capitales ont ajouté un joueur d’arrêt-court à caractère défensif et mis sous contrat un lanceur droitier. Ainsi, Jose A. Contreras apportera son gant dans la capitale et Chris Moore joindra officiellement l’alignement des Capitales.(article in french)
