The Cardinals did not offer a contract to Kiko Calero after he tried out for them last week. | ||||||
SI.com's Jon Heyman heard that Calero's slider looked "good," but that the Cardinals told him their roster was full. Oh well. The 36-year-old right-hander will have to try elsewhere. He finished with a 7.03 ERA over 25 minor league relief appearances last season. | ||||||

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, Kiko Calero is trying out for the Cardinals on Thursday. | ||||||
Calero signed a minor league deal with the Mets in the early part of spring training last year, but didn't see the majors at all in 2010. The 36-year-old right-hander ended up posting a 7.03 ERA over 25 appearances between Triple-A Buffalo (Mets) and Triple-A Albuquerque (Dodgers). Calero made his major league debut as a member of the Cardinals back in 2003. | ||||||

Calero was released by the Mets last month after posting a 10.59 ERA and 1.94 WHIP over 10 appearances with Triple-A Buffalo. There have been whispers about a potential injury dating back to the winter, but that apparently wasn't enough to scare the Dodgers off. | ||||||

Calero never cracked the Mets' roster and wasn't pitching particularly well in Triple-A, where he was 2-0 with a 10.59 ERA and a 1.94 WHIP. The 35-year-old will now try to convince another organization that he can still pitch at the big league level. It's a hard sell, but given the number of teams that are dying for bullpen help, he may have a good chance of latching on somewhere. | ||||||
