Anthony Reyes

What's the word on the Cards' top prospect? Would Reyes get Ponson's spot if he struggles like we know he can??!!

[YardBirds]

l wouldn't think so...

No doubt he will actually. Wasn't he battling Ponson for the 5th spot in ST? Why wouldn't he get the spot? Who else would you suggest?

[YardBirds]

Ponson will do just enough to keep the job... he always has. He's a solid vet on a staff of solid vets. They will probably groom Reyes for a little longer before bringing him up. Just b/c a kid has electric stuff, doesn't mean he will do well in the show... Ponson may give up 5 er a game, but he usually lucks out and wins for some reason. There is a chance Reyes gets called up and Ponson is sent to the pen or down to Triple A but there is also a chance McCarthy will start for Chicago White Sox... just not a good chance.

Reyes is already a better pitcher than Ponson. It is only a matter of time before he gets called up.

I hear ya.. Ponson will post his basic 11-14 type season with a high 3 or low 4 era, eat up innings and barely make it through the season. I think Reyes may be brought late like last year unless someone go's down with an injury, then we will see him sooner..

I think if Cards want he can start right away, I mean common we are not talking real competition people we are taking about competition with Ponson for god's sake. But I think they probably want to reserve him for next year or towards the playoff run, don't want to or need to rush him in right now

[Pogotheostrich]

Barring injury or trade Reyes stays at AAA until September.

[kcs261]

I think it's idiotic that Reyes is in AAA. But I agree, barring injury or a trade, he'll stay there until September. I don't understand it. But that's the way TLR wants it.
