Coming into the season fans were not really sure what to expect out of the flame thrower. The Cardinals tried early in the season to convert him into a starter, although that was a failed experiment that did not last long. Hicks was placed on the injured list twice this season, once with a forearm flexor strain which caused him to miss a little over a month. His second stint on the IL was as a result of fatigue and neck spasms which held him out for a couple of weeks. When Hicks played the results were shaky, he showed flashes of what made him once look like one of the more dominant relievers in baseball.
