Ex-Cardinals Watch 9-7-09: Ronnie Belliard Fitting In; Luke Gregerson Earning Keep; Russ Springer Coughs Up Granny

Ronnie Belliard (Dodgers):
It hasn't taken long for Ronnie Belliard to make himself at home with the Dodgers.

Since being acquired a week ago from the Washington Nationals as a backup infielder, Belliard has posted a .304 batting average (seven for 23) in seven games with a home run and four runs batted in.

When the Dodgers acquired Ronnie Belliard from the Washington Nationals, Joe Torre knew he'd find ways to get his new infielder into the lineup.

Luke Gregerson (Padres):
Gregerson, the late addition to Spring Training who was a tough call for Padres manager Bud Black on the Opening Day roster, got a big out in the seventh inning and then blew through the side in the eighth with three strikeouts.
