Ex-Cardinals Watch 7-6-08: Rolen Still Great 3B, Haren & Drew All-Star Nods, Edmonds Hurting, Sweeney Rehab, Tatis Game Winning Blast

Scott Rolen(Blue Jays):
Scott Rolen has a habit of making the most difficult of plays look routine. Years of honing his craft at third base has made that possible, helping Rolen to become arguably one of the best defenders the game has ever produced at the position.
Rolen Never Ceases To Amaze

Jim Edmonds(Cubs):
Center fielder Jim Edmonds, who jammed his left thumb sliding in to home plate Saturday, will have the thumb X-rayed in Chicago. The Cubs sound optimistic Edmonds will be OK.
X-Rays For Edmonds

Dan Haren(Diamondbacks):
The rotation has been the unquestioned strength for the D-backs this year, so it's no surprise that Arizona's two All-Star Game representatives will be starting pitchers Brandon Webb and Dan Haren.

Mark Sweeney(Dodgers):
Mark Sweeney will begin a minor league rehab assignment with triple-A Las Vegas this week.
Short Hops

Fernando Tatis(Mets):
Escaping to the visitors' clubhouse almost seven hours after the first pitch was thrown, Ryan Church told Billy Wagner how it would all end.

J.D. Drew(RedSox):
From the dugout to the field, the 2008 Major League All-Star Game will have a decidedly Red Sox feel to it, even if the venue is Yankee Stadium.
