Ex-Cardinals Watch 4-13-09: Dewon Brazelton & Ryan Bird Sign Deals, Jeff Suppan Struggles, Ricky Bottalico Gets More Air Time

Dewon Brazelton (Camden):
RHP Dewon Brazelton, who got $4.2 million and won eight games from 2002-05, is making a comeback, signed by the independent Camden (N.J.) team after showing up unannounced at a recent tryout.
St. Petersburg Times

Jeff Suppan (Brewers):
When will Jeff Suppan become an effective pitcher again?

That question surely is on the minds of puzzled folks who support the Milwaukee Brewers this morning. And, truth be told, those who run the baseball operation have to be wondering the same thing.

Ricky Bottalico (Retired):
Former Phils reliever Ricky Bottalico is enjoying more SportsNet work, thanks to his steady face time during the Phillies' playoff run last season and analyst Mitch Williams' heavier workload on MLB.com. He's doing pregame and postgame shows for SportsNet, getting frequent shots on Daily News Live, and just started a Sunday afternoon features show on WPHT-AM (1210) with Phillies publicist John Brazer. Bottalico, 39, occasionally does analyst work on Lehigh Valley IronPigs games.
