Ex-Cardinals Watch 6-4-08: J-Rod Released, Eckstein Hot, Cancel Gets Call, Crisp Hard Slide

John Rodriguez(Free Agent):
Was released by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Daric Barton(Athletics):
Daric Barton drew one of the 22 walks issued in Tuesday night's unusual 11-inning affair at McAfee Coliseum. If it were up to the first baseman, though, he would have gladly taken the other 21 as well, even if it meant no hits.
For Barton, Walks Lead To Better Hitting

David Eckstein(Blue Jays):
It's too bad David Eckstein got hurt when he did, because the Blue Jays could have received even more production like the kind he's given since being activated from the disabled list on May 27.

Russell Branyan(Brewers):
The last thing that low-key Brewers third baseman Russell Branyan expected to do was return to the Major Leagues and spark a mini-controversy.

Robinson Cancel(Mets):
Had his contract purchased from Triple-A New Orleans.

Coco Crisp(RedSox):
One of the more bizarre occurrences in Wednesday's matchup between the Red Sox and Rays was a shouting match between Boston center fielder Coco Crisp and Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon.
