On the status of Izzy's contract - the Cards are responsible for it all, unless he is claimed off waivers. The claiming team is responsible for the minimum league amount (390K?? pro rated for the balance of the season) and the Cards would pick up the difference.

I doubt if anyone would touch him if he is designated for assignment. Especially the way he has been pitching, plus the unknown condition of his hip.

Two lefty's to keep an eye on at Memphis. One is Randy Flores' brother Ron. He's had ML experience with the A's. The other is Jaime Garcia. He was recently promoted from Springfield and has had 2 quality starts at Memphis so far. I would think Ron Flores would be the first choice if anyone is brougth up to fill the lefty role.
