Eli's MLB Rumors:
Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post Dispatch is reporting that the Cardinals have interest in Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada. Tejada is hitting .355 with 6 home runs and 21 doubles in 57 games, and is hitting .378 in the month of June. Tejada is owed 13 million dollars, and the Astros probably would like to clear payroll considering their current financial situation. Watching Miguel Tejada, you know he would be perfect for the Cardinals. The intensity he brings to each game would give the Cardinals another boost, and make them a much harder team to face in the NL Central. The Astros could take Khalil Greene with a prospect in return, but with the Astros in last place, they may be better off getting prospects.

Florida Marlins' Chris Volstad, bullpen pounded by Cardinals
Chris Volstad threw plenty of strikes Wednesday night. The St. Louis Cardinals just hit most of them hard. Volstad, a 22-year old right-hander and usually a victim of poor run support, simply couldn't hold his end of the bargain this time. And neither could the Marlins bullpen.
