Ex-Cardinals Watch 7-1-09: Javier Brito Signs Deal; Armando Carrasco Activated; Dmitri Young Moves Up; Angels Ask About Dan Haren
Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
Diamondbacks right-hander Dan Haren would be an ideal fit for a team in need of an elite starting pitcher.
But, as the Angels recently discovered, the D-backs do not intend to trade Haren, who leads the National League in ERA.
Fox Sports
D-backs starter Dan Haren tried to hide the smile as he jogged around the bases Tuesday against the Reds.
Diamondbakcs Official Site
Terry Pendleton (Braves Coach):
Braves hitting coach Terry Pendleton knows what to look for when evaluating left-handed pitchers. After all, he played third base for Atlanta while 300-game winner Tom Glavine baffled hitters in the 1990s.
Braves Official Site
Felipe Lopez (Diamondbacks):
Once considered the Reds' shortstop of the future, Felipe Lopez sat in the visitor's dugout of Great American Ball Park on Tuesday.
Diamondbacks Official Site
Edgar Renteria (Giants):
Manager Bruce Bochy said that shortstop Edgar Renteria, who has been in and out of the No. 2 spot in the batting order, will continue to hit sixth or seventh as he has done recently. Bochy not only likes Renteria's run-producing potential from that portion of the order, but he also pointed out that the 33-year-old who has endured leg problems won't be asked to steal as much.
Giants Official Site
Ron Villone & Julian Tavarez (Nationals):
Based on games like Monday night -- when Olsen pitched seven innings of two-run ball but Ron Villone and Julian Tavarez gave the Marlins the win thereafter -- it's the kind of help the Nationals bullpen can certainly use.
Nationals Official Site
David Eckstein (Padres):
Outfielder Tony Gwynn tied the game at 3 when he singled to score Venable and then advanced to second on the throw home. Eckstein drove in the go-ahead run with a single to score Gwynn. All three of the Padres' seventh-inning runs came off Houston reliever Chris Sampson (4-1).
Padres Official Site
Jack Wilson (Pirates):
"There are certain guys that you think are going to get traded," said Jack Wilson. "It's the ones who you think are a part of the future, those are the ones that get you. Those are the worst. The feeling in your stomach is ... it's something that just came out of nowhere."
Pirates Official Site
Jason Marquis (Rockies):
Marquis completed one of the best pitching performances in Rockies history, a two-hitter for his third career shutout as the Rockies beat the Dodgers, 3-0, in front of 43,347. It was Colorado's second victory in 11 games against Los Angeles this season -- and both were with Marquis pitching.
Rockies Official Site
Placido Polanco (Tigers):
Placido Polanco handed Detroit an early 2-0 lead with a two-run home run to left in the first. He gave the Tigers an insurance run in the ninth, singling home Everett with one away.
Tigers Official Site
Dmitri Young (Nationals):
Promoted from Rookie-Level GCL Nationals to Double-A Harrisburg on his rehab assignment travels.
Javier Brito (Grand Prairie):
The Grand Prairie Air Hogs of the American Association signed him to a contract for the 2009 season.
Armando Carrasco (Orange County):
The Orange County Flyers of the Golden Baseball League have activated him.
Jamie Quirk (Royals Broadcaster):
During the Royals' last home stand I reported a feature that will be appearing sometime this month about Fox Sports Kansas City's baseball coverage. So I got a chance to talk a bit with Jamie Quirk, the new cohost of the "Royals Live" pregame and postgame shows. Quirk was a 1972 first-round draft pick of the Royals (he played rookie ball in my hometown of Billings) and, before his current employment, was coach for the Colorado Rockies, which has come in handy doing armchair analysis of the Royals games.

Ex-Cardinals Watch 6-20-09: Kit Pellow & Chris Farley Both Released; C.J. Nitkowski Leaves Korean Team; Larry Walker In Canadian Hall Of Fame
C.J. Nitkowski (Free Agent):
Done in Korea.
CJ Baseball
Larry Walker (Retired):
As Larry Walker read his brief Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame induction speech off his iPhone, an incoming text message interrupted his next sentence.
TSN
Jason Marquis (Rockies):
Raise your hand if you thought Jason Marquis would have nine wins in the middle of June. Or that he would have the lowest ERA of all Rockies starting pitchers.
MVN
Will Clark (Giants Instructor):
Will Clark says his Father's Day this year lasted more than a week. The former first baseman came to San Francisco for the reunion of the 1989 Giants, bringing his wife, son and daughter with him. They stayed throughout the home stand, Will fulfilling some of his duties as a new special assistant to the team, and the entire family enjoying the city.
SF Gate
Jeff Weaver (Dodgers):
As Dave and Gail Weaver sat behind home plate Saturday night for the pitching matchup between their sons, one thing became apparently clear: Their loyalty to both the Angels and Dodgers was split right down the middle.
Angels Official Site
In the Major Leagues' first brother pitching matchup since 2002, Jeff Weaver continued his resurrection season by outpitching little brother Jered as the Dodgers snapped the Angels' seven-game win streak, 6-4, on Saturday night.
Dodgers Official Site
Cecil Cooper (Astros MGR):
Astros manager Cecil Cooper was ejected from Saturday's 6-5 win over the Minnesota Twins by home-plate umpire Jerry Layne for arguing what he believed was a strikeout of Carlos Gomez in the fifth inning.
Astros Official Site
Adam Kennedy (Athletics):
Kennedy finished with a home run, two RBIs and three runs scored. The four hits tied his career high for the 16th time.
Athletics Official Site
Placido Polanco (Tigers):
Ramon Santiago pinch-hit in the eighth inning Saturday for Placido Polanco, who left the game as a precaution when his left leg stiffened up. But both Polanco and manager Jim Leyland said after the game that it's nothing to worry about.
Beck's Blog
Jim Leyland (Tigers MGR):
While Tigers manager Jim Leyland took exception to agent Scott Boras' criticism on his move to sit Magglio Ordonez, he also put more of a definite time frame on how long Ordonez will be out of the lineup.
Tigers Official Site
Joe Girardi (Yankess MGR):
The memories of Joe Girardi's father as a strict disciplinarian with a lesser-seen soft side continue to beat on in the Yankees manager's heart, even though that man no longer answers the ringing telephone.
Yankees Official Site
Kit Pellow (Free Agent):
The Saraperos de Satillo of the Triple-A Mexican League released him. Pellow was hitting .314 (85-for-271) with 11 doubles, one triple, 11 home runs, 41 RBIs, 131 total bases, 58 runs, 20 walks, and 29 strikeouts in 68 games.
Chris Farley (Free Agent):
The Midland Rock Hounds (Athletics Double-A) released him. Farley made 11 appearances (five starts) posting a 1-3 record and 9.2 ERA. He allowed 42 hits, 34 runs (28 earned), six home runs, hit one batter, walked 25 and struck out 13 over 27.1 innings.
