SS Tyler Greene could force his way onto the big league roster out of Spring Training. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/606827 606827 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:28:02 EDT kffl.com 25 days 3 hours 58 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/606827 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold reports St. Louis Cardinals 2B Skip Schumaker will work with hitting coach Mark McGwire three days a week shortly before Thanksgiving in Orange County, Calif. SS Brendan Ryan plans to work with McGwire twice a week as well. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/605045 605045 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 9:48:01 EDT kffl.com 26 days 7 hours 38 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/605045 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Khalil Greene will not be on the Cardinals postseason roster. He will be a free agent this winter.

Our View: Greene hit just .200 this season with 24 RBI in 170 at-bats. He also battled depression throughout the season. With the emergence of shortstop Brendan Ryan, the Cardinals will not be interested in bringing him back and he'll probably have a hard time getting anything more than a minor league deal. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/567310 567310 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:36:02 EDT fanball.com 48 days 3 hours 50 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/567310 Ryan goes into the season's final day with an eight-game hitting streak, although Saturday's effort was his first multi-hit performance during that span. He's actually been an impact fantasy player since Aug. 11, when he started a 43-game streak during which he's hit .330. His .296 mark overall makes it appear likely Ryan will finish with a mark higher than his previous career high of .289, set in his rookie year in 2007. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/563326 563326 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 17:36:26 EDT mlb.com 49 days 23 hours 50 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/563326 News: Cardinals SS Brendan Ryan doubled twice on Saturday against the Brewers and finished the second-to-last game of the regular season 3 for 3 with two runs scored.

Our View: Ryan left Sunday's game when he was hit on the hand by a pitch while trying to bunt. He's been a bit banged up all year, so the Cards are likely giving him extra time to heal up before the playoffs. Julio Lugo will fill in at short. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/555714 555714 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:36:01 EDT fanball.com 53 days 23 hours 50 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/555714 Rick Hummel, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Cardinals C Yadier Molina (knee) and 2B Brendan Ryan (finger, hand) are both being held out of the lineup Tuesday, Sept. 29. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/555687 555687 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:24:02 EDT kffl.com 54 days 2 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brendan_Ryan/555687
