Samuel Freeman (born June 24, 1987 Houston, Texas) is a baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was drafted in 2008 and rose from the Rookie League to the Double AA in 3-years. He was later called to the Cardinals 40-man roster. Freeman sustained an injury to his shoulder requiring Tommy John surgery which took him out of the late 2011 season. He will likely return late during or after the 2012 season.[1]
