Ex-Cardinals Watch 9-11-09: Ryan Riddle Released; Q&A With Clayton Mortensen; Jim Riggleman Changes Clubhouse Scenery; Brewers Look Ahead To 2010

Clayton Mortensen (Athletics):
It's been a circuitous route to the big leagues for right-hander Clayton Mortensen, the newest rookie member of Oakland's starting rotation. A 24-year-old from Rexburg, Idaho, he attended a community college in Oregon before starring on the mound at Gonzaga University and signing with the Cardinals, who picked him 36th overall in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft.
Athletics Official Site

Felipe Lopez, Braden Looper, & Jeff Suppan (Brewers):
Last season on Sept. 10, the Brewers were 20 games over .500 and owned a four-game lead in the National League Wild Card race. This season, their fans are already thinking ahead to 2010.
Brewers Official Site

Jim Riggleman (Nationals) & Miguel Cairo (Phillies):
Phillies outfielder Raul Ibanez and infielder Miguel Cairo are two people outside the Nationals organization who respect interim manager Jim Riggleman.
Nationals Official Site

Scott Rolen (Reds):
It's just a day off for Scott Rolen. Baker spoke to him and Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston after the trade and breaks when there are day games after night games will be common.

"We've got three straight day games in Chicago and no day off until another week after Chicago," Baker said.
Mark My Word

Ryan Riddle (Free Agent):
The Fort Worth Cats of the American Association released him.

Ex-Cardinals Watch 9-5-09: Dan Haren Feeling Better; Clayton Mortensen Improves In Latest MLB Start; Jeff Suppan Takes No-Hitter In 5th

Cecil Cooper (Astros MGR):
I figured Drayton McLane would fire Cecil Cooper on Thursday, then call a news conference to announce the Astros were ready to be champions in 2010.
Houston Chronicle

Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
The biggest reason that Diamondbacks right-hander Dan Haren has been able to get back on track? For pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr., that's easy.
Arizona Republic

If that was Haren's worst stuff, Arizona will take it. He lasted six innings and gave up only the two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out eight. Riding a three-game wining streak at Coors Field and facing the Rockies for the fourth time this season, Haren realized early he needed to change course to be effective against them.
Diamondbacks Official Site

Jim Riggleman (Nationals MGR):
One morning last week, just hours after another of his team's recent losses, Jim Riggleman began his day same as always: coffee, newspaper. Riggleman is a baseball man, his life set to its daily patterns, but he also likes constancy, and right now his job provides precious little of it. So Riggleman uses his mornings to compensate.
Washington Post

Clayton Mortensen (Athletics):
Mortensen was fairly pleased, too, having posted a respectable line of four runs on six hits and three walks while throwing 100 pitches over seven innings. And he, like Suzuki, knew exactly what the problem was while he gave up four of those hits and two of the walks during the fateful frame.
Athletics Official Site

Jeff Suppan (Brewers):
San Francisco, meanwhile, made the most of what Milwaukee gave it. Jeff Suppan didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning and took a shutout into the sixth, when he walked two batters and watched both of them score after Cameron couldn't come up with Nate Schierholtz's tricky, sinking line drive.
Brewers Official Site

Jack Wilson (Mariners):
Jack Wilson got things going in the second inning with two outs against A's starter Clayton Mortensen with a two-run single, which was followed by back-to-back RBI hits by Ichiro Suzuki -- now four hits shy of 2,000 hits for his Major League career -- and Franklin Gutierrez to make it a 4-0 game.
Mariners Official Site

Kip Wells (Reds):
Making the Majors wasn't hard for Kip Wells. He did it with the Chicago White Sox the season after being a first-round Draft choice in 1998.
Reds Official Site

Tomo Ohka (Indians):
Sponichi mentions Tomo Ohka, Yasuhiko Yabuta, and Masahide Kobayashi as guys the BayStars could look at. Ohka spent time with Yokohama early in his career, but requested and was granted his release to pursue a shot at the Majors.
NBP Tracker

Isaias Garcia & Ryan Riddle (Fort Worth):
The Fort Worth Cats of the American Association excersied their 2010 option.

Stuart Pomeranz & Timo Perez (New Jersey):
The New Jersey Jackals of the Can-Am League activated Pomeranz, then exercised his and Perez's 2010 options.
