@LangoschMLB Alex Reyes works around a 3B with three swinging strikeouts -- one on 88 mph changeup, another on 99 mph fastball, last on 101 mph fastball.

He threw a 99 fastball on the black knee high like he was throwing batting practice. Easy delivery and threw 3 101 mph fastballs in the first inning. Curve ball looks to be a 12/6 level. Fastball/curve is good enough for a closer. He can work on his control and change up off the mound in St. Louis. But, that article in STL said that he has never pitched more than 109 innings in a year. If we are going to ask him to start in 2017, he needs to get his innings up this year.

Leave him in Memphis until rosters expand. Give him a couple of starts in September. This team's going nowhere, no need to waste a year of control on false hope.

Waino was in the bullpen full time in 2006 before Izzy went down. If anything, asking Reyes to be a reliever initially and then move to the rotation would be like Lynn. |

We would not lose a year of control. That date has passed.

Yeah, but his clock still starts. If you don't bring him up until late April in 2017 you'd have him for another year.

In fact, this whole calling up starters as relievers thing in September isn't as common as I think it is with the Cardinals.
Who have the Cardinals done that with? Lynn Gonzalez? Miller Martinez Rosenthal was called up as a reliever after being a starter, but never started a game. |

If we had a chance to do something in the playoffs, I could see burning a year. But, this year? Just leave him in the minors and work on the control and change up. Losing a year of a pitcher with a possible Cy Young ceiling may be worth $50 million a year the way salaries are sky rocketing 6 years from now.

Dude, I was just talking about being a reliever first in the bullpen then starting the next year.
