Past Fantasy Outlooks
2006
2005
2004
2003
Riedling was expected to bolster the Marlins middle relief corps, but instead was barely able to hold his own at Triple-A between bouts of shoulder soreness. It's starting to look like his heavy 2003 workload took a serious toll on Riedling -- the Cardinals will give him another chance to show he has something left, however.
Riedling had a tough 2004, both professionally and personally (his father died after a long illness). His performance plummeted significantly over the second half (7.12 ERA and seven homers allowed in 30.1 innings). Were his struggles emotionally-related or just physically? Don't spend much trying to find out.
Riedling started the year as the Reds' primary set-up man and a potential closer candidate. He ended the year as an ex-starter and current middle reliever who doesn't dominate hitters enough to overcome his walk rate.
Riedling recovered from arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum to post a decent second half of the season. He'll be in the mix to pitch in late inning relief, provided he can stay healthy. A small concern is a spike in his walk rate in 2002, but that may be attributable to him working back into form.
