Dodgers Ink Justin Knoedler To Minor League Deal
The Dodgers on Monday signed catcher Justin Knoedler to a Minor League contract with an invitation to Major League camp.

Ex-Cardinals Watch 8-18-09: Reid Gorecki Called Up; Justin Knoedler & Timo Perez Sign Deals; Chris Narveson To Begin Rehab; Eddie Degerman Released
Clint Hurdle (Free Agent):
Former Colorado Rockies manager Clint Hurdle is always profound. He said the greatest thing someone can do for somebody they care for is to eliminate distractions and allow them to focus. That's why he isn't bitter about being dismissed as the team's skipper -- he saw himself as a distraction. Now he's the Rockies biggest fan and thinks they will make the playoffs.
CBS Denver
Brett Tomko (Athletics):
The 36-year-old right-hander held New York to five hits over five innings, leading the A's to a 3-0 series-opening win.
Athletics Official Site
Reid Gorecki (Braves):
What was supposed to be a day off after what had been a long grind in the Minors turned into a day that Reid Gorecki will never forget.
Bowman's Blog
Max Scherzer (Diamondbacks):
Scherzer allowed nine runs (three earned) and committed a costly throwing error in a sloppy third inning as the D-backs dropped a makeup game, 9-4, at Turner Field. The game was originally the final game of a three-game series that was rained out on May 17.
Diamondbacks Official Site
Justin Knoedler (White Sox):
The Chicago White Sox signed him to a minor league deal and assisgned him to Triple-A Charlotte.
Chris Narveson (Brewers):
Assigned from Triple-A Nashville to Rookie-Level Helena to begin rehab.
Timo Perez (New Jersey):
The New Jersey Jackals of the Can-Am league signed him to a deal for the remainder of the 2009 season.
Justin Knoff (Lincoln):
The Sussex Skyhawks of the Can-Am League traded him to the Saltdogs of the American Association.
Eddie Degerman (Free Agent):
The River City Rascals of the Frontier League released him. He made one start allowing three hits, two earned runs, two walks, two wild pitches, and striking out six over three innings and earning the loss.
Brian Daubach (New Hampshire MGR):
Sitting in his office in the bowels of Holman Stadium, former Red Sox Brian Daubach, wearing camouflage uniform pants, looks more like a Desert Storm trooper than a Dirt Dog.
Boston Globe
Russ Springer (Rays):
There were plenty of Rays playing with their kids during Sunday's Family Day at Tropicana Field.
St. Petersburg Times
Chris Lambert (Tigers):
Meanwhile, just when you figured the draft wouldn't affect the Mud Hens just yet, it cost them their scheduled Tuesday starter, too. The Tigers designated Chris Lambert's contract for assignment Monday, presumably to make room for Jacob Turner on the 40-man roster. Because Turner signed a Major League deal, he immediately goes on the 40-man, even though he won't be pitching in games for a while. We know it wasn't to make room for Aubrey Huff, because the Tigers announced they moved Joel Zumaya to the 60-day DL for that.

Ex-Cardinals Watch 7-10-09: C.J. Nitkowski Claimed; Justin Knoedler Released; Kip Wells Signs Deal; Cesar Izturis To Return, Juan Gonzalez & Steroids
Cesar Izturis (Orioles):
The Orioles signed Cesar Izturis to a two-year deal in the offseason to get solid defense at shortstop, timely hits here and there and a veteran presence in the clubhouse.
Orioles Official Site
Scott Rolen (Blue Jays):
Scott Rolen had to go through a handful of stages before becoming the type of offensive player he believed he could be again. The process began last season for the Blue Jays third baseman and continued into the early portion of this year.
Blue Jays Official Site
Chris Narveson (Brewers):
Brewers reliever Chris Narveson is remaining with the team while his name floats across the waiver wire. If he clears, he plans to accept an assignment to Triple-A Nashville.
Brewers Official Site
Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
What better time for a team to turn to its unquestioned ace starter than after the type of relief meltdown endured Thursday night by the D-backs?
Diamondbacks Official Site
Kiko Calero (Marlins):
Kiko Calero is back, and the right-hander will be watched with a more careful eye.
Marlins Official Site
Julian Tavarez (Nationals):
A day after throwing 43 pitches in two innings against the Rockies on Wednesday, Nationals reliever Julian Tavarez was given the day off on Thursday, and it came at a good time.
Nationals Official Site
Luis Perdomo (Padres):
The Padres haven't named a starting pitcher for Saturday yet, though there appears to be a good chance the team will handle the start internally, perhaps using long relievers Perdomo and Mike Ekstrom to cover the start. Another option, adding Tim Stauffer from Triple-A Portland, would mean opening a spot on the 40-man roster, which is something the team would probably not want to do.
Padres Official Site
Kip Wells (Reds):
The Reds have signed veteran right-handed pitcher Kip Wells to a Minor League contract.
Reds Official Site
Justin Knoedler (Free Agent):
The Florida Marlins released him. He played in nine games batting .182 (13-for-64) with one home run, four RBIs, 12 total bases, three runs, one walks, and eight strike outs.
C.J. Nitkowski (Doosan):
The Doosan Bears claimed him off waivers after SK Wyverns let him go.
CJBaseball
Terry Evans (Angels):
Six of Triple-A's top sluggers are set to compete in the American Family Insurance All-Star Home Run Derby scheduled for Monday, July 13 at 7 p.m. PDT (10 p.m. EDT) at PGE Park in Portland, Oregon. Two Portland area high school players who qualified through preliminaries earlier this season at PGE Park will join the Triple-A sluggers.
MiLB
Juan Gonzalez (Puerto Rican World Baseball Team):
Concern Juan "Igor" González these days is the growing issue of anabolic steroid use in Major League Baseball, or the list of 104 players who tested positive in 2003 for a doping test and the only known two names. (Translated)
Primera Hora
Julian Javier (Dominican Republic Winter League Owner):
Baseball has seen waves of changes since Julian Javier played in the 1960s. Since retiring, Javier has seen the introduction of designated hitters, middle relievers, closers and, of course, steroids.

One thing I forgot mention last night was that left-handed reliever Tyler Johnson was released by the Rainiers.
The News Tribune
Emil Brown (Free Agent):
Church will take Emil Brown’s spot on the roster, as Brown was designated for assignment.
Mets Blog
Tomo Ohka (Indians):
Manager Eric Wedge has named Toma Ohka as the replacement for Fausto Carmona, who was optioned to the minors last week to work on his delivery and his mental approach. But with three off days in the next three weeks, Ohka might only have to pitch twice: June 13 against the St. Louis Cardinals and June 27 against the Cincinnati Reds.

Chris Narveson (Brewers):
All but eight of the first 175 times Chris Narveson stepped onto the mound as a pro, he threw the game's first pitch.

Orioles Official Site
Jeff Suppan (Brewers):
Suppan continued his recent good work against the Braves, battling through 5 1/3 innings of shutout ball. He left with two runners on and one out in the sixth, but Todd Coffey and Mitch Stetter ended the threat with strikeouts to Martin Prado and Kelly Johnson, respectively. Carlos Villanueva pitched a perfect eighth, and Trevor Hoffman worked a scoreless ninth for his 15th save of the season.
Brewers Official Site
Aaron Miles (Cubs):
Infielder Aaron Miles (shoulder) is expected to be activated Wednesday in Houston.
Cubs Official Site
Justin Knoedler (Marlins):

Vuch Report: Cardinals Minors Spring Game Reports 3-22-09

Future Redbirds
Two of the batters sent out “to get more playing time” — a common phrase these days as minor-league camp swirls into games — are thriving with the additional at-bats. One has continued his superb spring at the plate. The other may yet save his spring and put himself back on the cusp of the majors.
