Cardinals signed LHP Ron Villone to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Villone becomes the favorite over Ron Flores to make the Cardinals should the team carry three left-handed relievers. Tyler Johnson and Randy Flores are essentially guaranteed spots.
I have no doubt Villone will make the team but where are the starters? Cards need depth in the rotation and don't have any real good options. Dave Duncan and moving back to the NL can only help Villone. He will join the HGH club with Ankiel and Glaus.
