Scott RolenScott Bruce Rolen (born April 4, 1975 in Evansville, Indiana) is an American baseball player, who currently plays at third base for the St. Louis Cardinals. Rolen grew up in Jasper, Indiana. Although drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2nd round of the 1993 amateur draft, he didn't receive playing time until 1997. In that season, he was named National League Rookie of the Year. On July 29 2002, Rolen was traded, along with Doug Nickle, to the Cardinals for Plcido Polanco, Mike Timlin, and Bud Smith. Later that year, he received an eight-year contract extension. Rolen's 2004 season was arguably his best. For much of the season, he led the National League in RBI, often ranked among the league leaders in most offensive statistics, and had the highest vote total of any player for the All-Star Game. Despite being injured for the last stretch of the season, he finished the year with a career-high .314 batting average, 34 home runs, and 124 RBI. In his 8-year career, Rolen has won six Gold Glove awards. Rolen is a .286 career hitter with 226 home runs and 831 RBI in 1195 games.
