He's pitched a grand total of 3 innings.

Please stop.

Also fun fact. Thisnis the 4th time hes been waived. He was originally a brave, was waived by them, claimed by nationals, waived by them, claimed by pirates, waived by them, claimed by marlins, who now waived him.

Odnt get too excited about a guy being dfa'd 4 times and 5+ xareer minor league era having an okay spring outing. Maybe he becomes something late bloomer but hes far from challenging for a rotation spot

MO's kind of acquisition.
bye bye MO after this season
NO ONEwill miss you aside from Oli

From what I gather, Munoz might be in consideration for short relief (ex. 1 inning). Focus was mentioned as a factor. Whatever that means. He is fairly young, with some MLB experience and a big arm. He has a chance to help the Cardinals in some capacity. IMO

Why? Im guessing his 6.53 era factored in. As well as his career 5.01 minor league era and 5.48 era in 2 years at AAA. Spring means nothing. This guy has gotten rocked by upper level competition

Munoz had 17 starts for Miami last season. And they had a good rotation. That seems like quite a lot of starts considering his record and ERA.

they had a horrendous rotation

He might reliably hold down the same role he had with us last season.

The garbage heap with every other piece of low hanging fruit that Mo has acquired.

What info have you gathered...please share!

It could be an important outing today for Munoz. In his bid to make the team. He's been impressive in spring training with the strikeout ability and the 0.00 ERA.

I don't expect him to make the team, but I'm happy to see them sign a pitcher with a good arm and potential instead of a pitch to contact guy.

The Cards seem to be in good shape with the LH side of the BP with Romero/Libby/King.
RH side more in question.
Obviously Helsley and Fernandez would appear to be a lock.
That would leave 3 spots all most likely RH.
Munoz certainly has a shot.

I see that Munoz maintained his lofty 0.00 ERA in one inning of work today. He had a nice slider going. He may have a good chance at a short relief role for the Cardinals. It seems like he was a very nice waiver pickup for Mo.

Seems to me, you don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me, you just turn your pretty head and walk away

This article is dated March 6, and was written prior to his last outing, which you bumped this thread over yesterday.

Furthermore, it simply states the obvious (he’ll be a reliever) and acknowledges he has options remaining and may not make the opening day roster.

Where is the “update?”
