Ex-Cardinals Watch 4-15-09: Andy Cavazos & Abraham Nunez Sign Deals, Mets Passed On David Eckstein, Jack Wilson Hurting, Luis Perdomo Makes MLB Debut

David Eckstein (Padres):
Scrappy Padres second baseman David Eckstein reminded the Mets what they missed when they failed to sign him yet again this winter by killing them in their inaugural game at Citi Field with three hits and a walk.

Xavier Nady (Yankees):
Xavier Nady was on the verge of tears yesterday as he discussed his injured right elbow, seemingly resigned to the fact that his season - and most likely, his Yankee career - was over.
NY Daily News

Jack Wilson (Pirates):
Jack Wilson has been scratched from tonight's lineup due to a bruised left middle finger.
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Edgar Renteria (Giants):
As Manager Bruce Bochy would say, there's no getting around it: The Giants' new middle infield had an awful first week.
Mercury News

Scott Rolen (Blue Jays):
In the second, Rolen ripped a pitch from Baker to left field, sending the line drive crashing into the stands for a two-run home run that knotted the score.

Braden Looper (Brewers):
Looper limited the Reds to three runs on six hits in six innings for the second consecutive quality start by a Brewers pitcher. He benefited from the offensive outburst in the bottom of the sixth, a rally sparked by Prince Fielder's leadoff double against Cincinnati starter Micah Owings (0-1), who was making his Reds pitching debut.

Luis Perdomo (Padres):
Correia's early exit Wednesday had Black dipping into his bullpen earlier than expected as the trio of Luke Gregerson, Edward Mujica and Luis Perdomo covered the final three innings.

Jason Marquis (Rockies):
The fans at Wrigley Field greeted Rockies pitcher Jason Marquis' first at-bat of Wednesday afternoon loudly, but not warmly. Marquis, a former Cub, made them even colder with a key two-run single in the second inning.

Sidney Ponson (Royals):
The Royals saw something in Sidney Ponson this spring. They saw an innings-eater and a veteran who could give them quality starts at the back end of the rotation.
