Going into the season I thought he could've been their second or third best pitcher. He's earned the right to stay, but unless someone goes down for an extended period of time, he'll be shuttled back and forth. Larussa loves his vets.
Forget the man crush. I drop what I'm doing to watch Zack Greinke pitch.

I keep seeing that he will get sent back down..C'Mon...I think he has deserved a spot....
If Carp is healthy this weekend (He's supposed to be), then Reyes is going back down. The talk in StLouis is that Marquis/Suppan might be dealt sometime in July, but will have to wait and see.
...Boston papers now and then suffer a sharp flurry of arithmetic on this score; indeed, for Williams to have distributed all his hits so they did nobody else any good would constitute a feat of placement unparalleled in the annals of selfishness. -Updike
As long as Carp, Mulder, Suppan, Marquis and Ponson are healthy Reyes will be in AAA.
Not that I don't think the Cards would trade Suppan or Marquis but I don't think they can get anything worthwhile for them. Both are middle of the road starters who are free agents next year. The only reason to trade one would be to land an impact bat. I doubt either one would bring that in a trade. There has been rumors about dealing Mulder since he should get the most in return and would be the most difficult to sign.

Probably true, but I would not mind seeing Reyes and Wainright in the rotation over Suppan and Marquis.
If we are not going to use Reyes we should trade him and some other guys for a good corner outfielder. Can you say Miguel Cabrera?
Wow I hate the Cardinals pithing. Carp is great, and Mulder is decent, but its absolute garbage after that. They need a guy like Reyes for a little extra jolt of youth.

Miguel Cabrera is not an outfielder. The Marlins had to put him there because of Lowell, but he wasn't good at outfield, nor like playing there.
