Ex-Cardinals Watch 6-9-08: Rolen, Branyan, Belliard, Wilson, Percival, Renteria, & Polanco

Scott Rolen(Blue Jays):
Garnering enough All-Star votes to claim the top spot among American League third basemen is not going to be an easy task for the Blue Jays' Scott Rolen. It's a crowded field at the hot corner.
Rolen Making Case For All-Star Bid

Russell Branyan(Brewers):
Russell Branyan knew something was up three weeks ago when he heard Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin was in the stands at Greer Stadium.
Powering Back Up

Ronnie Belliard(Nationals):
The Nationals activated infielder Ronnie Belliard from the 15-day disabled list and optioned right-hander Tyler Clippard to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Belliard Activated From D.L.

Jack Wilson(Pirates):
It seems every ball coming off the bat of Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson is either a sharp line drive or deep fly ball. He's seeing pitches with a keen eye and is making every at-bat count.
Bucs Hoping Wilson Stays Hot Vs. Nats

Troy Percival(Rays):
Troy Percival, who has been on the disabled list since May 29 with a left hamstring strain, is slated to throw a simulated inning on Tuesday. He is eligible to come off the DL in time for the start of the Rays' upcoming homestand, which begins Friday.

Edgar Renteria & Placido Polanco(Tigers):
For a Tigers offense that has struggled for much of the year, Magglio Ordonez is quietly putting forth an effort to follow up his All-Star numbers from last season. He'll need a surge in voting if that's going to include another All-Star start.
