Flores, who had the cleanup procedure for a cyst and labral fraying, expects to be fully ready to go for the start of 2009 Spring Training. "I normally start throwing a baseball around Christmas, and that's what they said I could do after the surgery," Flores said. A situational left-hander who appeared in 43 games this year, Flores thinks the shoulder cleanup should bode well for a strong year in '09. Flores, 33, went 1-0 this year with a 5.26 earned run average for the Cardinals. He also had a stint at Triple-A Memphis and was 0-1 with a 3.14 ERA.
