Player Notes
December 13, 2008
Pitcher Randy Flores was not offered a contract by the Cardinals and has become a free agent, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:This is no surprise, as Flores was absolutely hideous last season, as in 25.1 innings he walked 20 batters while striking out 17.
September 27, 2008
Randy Flores underwent surgery to remove a cyst on his left shoulder but the St. Louis Cardinals official web site is reporting that he will be ready to go in spring training.

Our View:It was a season to forget for Flores who had an ERA of 5.26 and a WHIP of 3.10.
September 25, 2008
St. Louis reliever Randy Flores will undergo surgery on his left shoulder to remove a cyst and repair fraying in his labrum, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:Flores was awful this season, which hampered the team's bullpen due to a shortage of lefties. He only threw 25.2 innings, but had a ghastly 7.01 BB/9 rate.
September 19, 2008
Randy Flores is expected to be examined by team doctors before pitching again, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:Persistent shoulder stiffness remains a problem, and manager Tony LaRussa is not optimistic regarding his next appearance. Flores holds a poor 5.26 ERA and 2.10 WHIP this season, but his absence leaves Ron Villone as the only lefty available in the bullpen.
September 18, 2008
Randy Flores is unable to pitch on Thursday night against the Reds as he continues to have problems with his shoulder, according to the Cardinals official Web site.

Our View:The Cardinals and Flores have no idea when he is going to be able pitch again. You can be sure that fantasy owners are not on the edge of their seats waiting for him.
September 18, 2008
Randy Flores was unavailable to pitch Wednesday as he continues to battle shoulder pain, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:He has been dealing with the ailment for an extended period of time, and the pain has gradually gotten worse and more difficult to pitch through. There is no timetable as to when he may be ready to return to the mound, but fantasy owners should not be waiting for him with a 5.26 ERA and 2.10 WHIP over 25.2 innings.
September 1, 2008
Reliever Randy Flores has been recalled from Triple-A and will join the Cardinals bullpen, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:Flores has major control issues, walking 17 batters in 23.2 innings pitched prior to his demotion, and has no fantasy value.
July 18, 2008
The Cardinals will activate Randy Flores from the DL prior to Friday's game, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The club optioned Chris Perez to Triple-A Memphis to make room on the roster.

Our View:He held a 5.12 ERA over 19.1 innings before landing on the DL. The reliever isn't worth targeting.
July 12, 2008
Randy Flores, who is recovering from left ankle peroneal tendinitis, needs more work and will remain with Triple-A Memphis until after the All-Star break, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Manager Tony LaRussa said, "He needs to get work. He was not pitching great when he left. He could use the work."

Our View:He held a 5.12 ERA over 19.1 innings before moving to Triple-A. He won't be worth acquiring when he returns to the Cardinals' bullpen after the break.
July 9, 2008
Randy Flores, who is recovering from left ankle peroneal tendinitis, threw 11 pitches and one scoreless inning for Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday night, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Flores was making his first rehab outing since going on the DL June 26.

Our View:He is close to returning to the Cardinals' bullpen.
July 5, 2008
Randy Flores threw a light bullpen session on Friday night after being cleared by team doctors, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes. The reliever is on the DL due to left ankle inflammation.

Our View:That's probably more Randy Flores news than you were expecting today, huh? The southpaw remains at least one week away from returning.
June 26, 2008
Pitcher Randy Flores has been placed on the 15-day DL with left ankle tendinitis, according to the AP. The team activated Albert Pujols from the DL, as an adjoining move.

Our View:Flores has walked six of the last 14 batters he has faced. The team hopes the lefty can begin a rehab assignment early next week and return to the team in two weeks.
May 5, 2008
Randy Flores earned his first win of the season after working a trying but scoreless eighth inning to help secure a 6-5 win over Colorado.

Our View:It was Flores thirteenth appearance of the season, and the left-hander has still not allowed an earned run.
April 2, 2008
Randy Flores pitched well against Colorado on Tuesday, as he threw one hitless inning, with one walk and two strikeouts. This was a good performance for him as he fights for playing time out of the bullpen.
