Ex-Cardinals Watch 6-26-09: Chris Farley Signs Deal; Orber Moreno & Scott Vander Weg Released; Marlon Anderson May Rejoin Mets; Timothy Dorn Promoted

Terry Pendleton (Braves Coach):
Braves hitting coach Terry Pendleton was born in Los Angeles in 1960 and grew up with Michael's music -- and even joined Fawcett on a sitcom set. He said after Atlanta's game that, "you just think people like that are going to be around forever."

"They're the superstars," Pendleton said. "You don't ever think they're going to die. But it's a reminder for all of us that none of us are invincible. Each of us will have a day.

&

Ron Villone (Nationals):
"It's a shame when anybody passes away," Nationals reliever Ron Villone said. It's what people were talking about around baseball, besides baseball.
MLB

Braden Looper (Brewers):
Brewers pitcher Braden Looper had an appointment with the team doctor on Thursday, but reported nothing but soreness the day after he was struck on the back of his right arm by a line drive.
Brewers Official Site

Jason Isringhausen (Rays):
Wearing a backwards cap and T-shirt in the clubhouse before Thursday's game, Rays reliever Jason Isringhausen's attire didn't give the gloomy vibe one might expect from a pitcher just days removed from surgery that might end his career.
MLB

Timothy Dorn (Angels):
Was promoted from Rookie-Level Arizona League to Single-A Cedar Rapids.

Orber Moreno (Free Agent):
The Tigres de Quintana Roo of the Triple-A Mexican League released him. He made four relief appearances and allowing five hits, one earned run, two walks, and striking out three over 3.2 innings (2.45 ERA). Moreno pitched for Diablos Rojos del Mexico earlier in the season.

Scott Vander Weg (Free Agent):
The St. Paul Saints of the American Association released him.

Chris Farley (Worcester):
The Worcester Tornadoes of the Canadian American League signed him to a contract for the 2009 season.

Marlon Anderson (Newark):
Furthermore, Marlon Anderson is believed to have left the Bears with the hopes of returning to the Mets organization, and will apparently retire if he is unable to do so.

He played seven games this season with the Bears — all on the road — and hit .240 with an RBI, three walks and three strikeouts.
Atlantic League Baseball

Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
Right-hander Dan Haren's velocity hasn't been as explosive this season, but his results haven't suffered, and for that Haren credits the development of his cut fastball, a pitch that he has been working to refine for two years.
Arizona Republic

Edgar Renteria (Giants):
The first is shortstop Edgar Renteria. Thirty-three and a mediocre defender with an unreal amount of wear on his treads, he has had one year in the last six in which he was something more than a decent hitter, and is thus exactly the sort one doesn't want to tie on to. So of course the San Francisco Giants, who have made a cult of this class of player, signed him for two years and $18.5 million, and have been rewarded by the sight of Renteria trying to keep his slugging average and OBP above .300.

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.

Armando Carrasco (Orange County):
The Orange County Flyers of the Golden Baseball League placed him on the inactive list.

Ex-Cardinals Watch 6-15-09: Orber Moreno & Cardoza Tucker Join New Teams; Bill Pulsipher Released; Jason Isringhausen Aims For 2010

Jason Isringhausen (Rays):
Veteran reliever Jason Isringhausen may be done for the season due to upcoming Tommy John surgery - his second elbow surgery in 10 months - but his agent says he plans to come back and pitch in the big leagues again.
St. Petersburg Times

Jack Wilson (Pirates):
Longtime reader, first-time writer. My question is, if Jack Wilson wants to stay, and if the Pirates want him to, as they have said before, why not give him a Tim Wakefield-like contract? Give him the option to play however many years he would like at $4.5 million or so a year. That way not too much money is tied up to one player, and the Pirates can budget for the next year knowing his salary is locked in.
Pirates Official Site

Jim Leyland (Tigers MGR):
For the fourth straight year, Jim Leyland will put questions about his friendship with Tony La Russa on hold and renew their rivalry in Interleague Play, this time in St. Louis. The quirks of the Interleague schedule have somehow made this an annual event for two managers whose relationship goes back more than a quarter century.
Tigers Official Site

Joe Girardi (Yankees MGR):
Yankees manager Joe Girardi devoted his off-day to a cause near and dear to his heart, hosting a fundraiser to benefit Alzheimer's research.
