With the signing of Pudge Rodriguez, any potential value that Flores has is probably gone. Flores was great in rookie ball and then for Brooklyn in the New York Penn League (low-A), He was terrible in the Sallie league, but was given a chance in St. Lucie where he connected for 21 home runs. A catching shortage in washington forced him to the big leagues where he was not much good. He was terrific last year for a short period before being injured.

It's not fair that he was called up too early, but it doesn't mean that he will be any better. In a time share with Pudge, you can't take him unless he is shown to be healthy and has the job. .255-25-8-30-0. 275ABs

Positives / Upside	Flores has the power he showed in high-A ball, and he seemed like he was coming into his own last season before injuries sidelined him. .265-35-10-40-0-375Abs
Negatives / Downside	It's not clear that his shoulder will hold up and it is not thought that he will be ready for opening day.
Recommendation	Avoid
Draft Position	384
