Ex-Cardinals Watch 5-26-09: Jose Leon & Raul Gonzalez Sign Deals; Interest Growing In Jack Wilson; Coco Crisp & Chris Richard Hurting

Jack Wilson (Pirates):
The industry-wide shortage at shortstop has led to multiple inquiries on Jack Wilson, who is earning $7.25 million in the final year of his contract. The rap on Wilson is his low on-base percentage — .295 this season, .311 for his career. But he remains a quality defender.

Max Scherzer (Diamondbacks):
Scherzer, meanwhile, was carving up the San Diego bats. The right-hander struck out 10 and had scattered four hits through the first seven innings. With his pitch count inching ever higher, D-backs manager A.J. Hinch decided to send him out for the eighth.

Edgar Renteria (Giants):
San Francisco struck with two outs in the second against rookie right-hander Kris Medlen (0-2), who surrendered Aaron Rowand's two-run double and Edgar Renteria's two-run single as the Giants defeated Atlanta for the sixth time in seven games at AT&T Park dating back to 2007.
