Cardinals Hire Randy Flores As Director Of Amateur Scouting

By Steve Adams | August 28, 2015 at 1:40pm CDT

The Cardinals have hired former Major League left-hander Randy Flores as their new director of amateur scouting, reports Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Cards looked at candidates from other teams before turning to Flores, who retired from the game as a player following the 2010 season, per Goold.

Since retiring, the now-40-year-old Flores returned to USC to complete a master’s degree in education and serve as the baseball team’s assistant coach. He also founded his own company, OnDeck Digital, which uses video capture technology to allow baseball and softball players to critique their own game. Scouts also use the technology to gain access to of video on prospects/players, and 11 Major League teams currently use the service, Goold adds.

Flores spent parts of five seasons in the Cardinals’ bullpen, totaling a 4.35 ERA with 7.8 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9 in 178 innings. He totaled 250 innings in the Majors, working primarily as a left-handed specialist and accumulating a career ERA of 4.61. Flores won a World Series ring with St. Louis in 2006.

The need for a scouting director, of course, is due to the firing of former director Chris Correa, who was dismissed earlier this summer after admitting to having a role in the Cardinals’ breach of the Astros’ computer network.

      Yeah then maybe he can draft good talent and when the players get too old and washed up, Walt Jocketty will sign them.

      I came just to see the jokes and was pretty disappointed. Not a creative crowd we have here.

    Let’s hope he can hack it. Sounds like a smart guy. Success starts with his ability. Go Birds!

    Sounds like a bright, well rounded addition to the Cardinals’ staff. He should be an asset.
