Ex-Cardinals Watch 4-7-09: Dmitri Young Has To Prove Himself, Jeff Suppan Still Winless On Opening Day, Scott Rolen Hits HR

Kip Wells & Dmitri Young (Nationals):
However, the organization later decided to use Jordan Zimmermann, Collin Balester, Kip Wells, Marco Estrada and Craig Stammen in its Class AAA rotation.

First baseman Dmitri Young remains at the team's spring training complex in Viera, Fla., trying to prove he's major league ready. The Nationals still want to see more.

Mark Johnson & So Taguchi (Cubs):
Mark Johnson and Chris Robinson are the catchers.

The outfielders are Doug Deeds, Jason Dubois, Brad Snyder and So Taguchi.
Des Moines Register

Anthony Reyes (Indians):
Anthony Reyes' final tune-up went about as well as could be expected.
Kinston

Scott Rolen (Blue Jays):
After being silenced for the first seven innings by Jackson, Toronto third baseman Scott Rolen delivered a solo homer to left field to open the eighth, cutting Detroit's lead down to 3-1. Later in the inning, with two runners aboard, second baseman Aaron Hill belted the first pitch he received over the left-field wall for a three-run blast against Lyon.

Jeff Suppan (Brewers):
Jeff Suppan is still oh-for-Opening Day.

Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
That was tough luck for D-backs' starter Dan Haren, who was almost every bit as good as Jimenez for seven innings.

Jamie Moyer (Phillies):
That has been the main problem these first two games. Sure, Brett Myers allowed three home runs in a 4-1 loss Sunday on Opening Night. And, yes, Jamie Moyer allowed eight hits, four runs, two walks and two home runs in five innings on Tuesday. But a Phillies lineup that has been one of the most consistent run producers in baseball for several years has scored just one run in 18 innings against the Braves.

Orber Moreno (Diablos Rojos del Mexico):
Signed contract for the 2009 season.
