RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2012

Valdes signed a minor league contract with the Phillies this offseason which included an invitation to spring training. Now 34, Valdes only has 51 appearances and 70 innings in his major league career so far. He's a long shot to earn a roster spot this spring.

2011

Valdes bounced between Triple-A Buffalo and the Mets last season, serving mainly in middle relief in the majors. Valdes appeared in 38 games with the Mets in 2010, and though he throws from the left side, he's much more effective against right-handed batters. The Cardinals signed Valdes to a minor league deal, and he'll be given an opportunity to make the team out of spring training.
