Reyes will start tomorrow against the A's in Oakland according to MLB.com.... just in case you need a spot starter with a 6.08 ERA.
Anyone else gonna roll the dice? All the sleeper talk at the beginning of the season didn't materialize, but I guess he could still be a potentially decent pickup if he sticks which could happen if Looper is out for any length of time.

I'd give him the shot honestly. He's got so much potential and even when he gets bombed he still seems to do a great job at k/bb ratio which indicates some room for improvement here.
Don't start Reyes....He always gets sent down to AAA where he pitches 2-3 great starts, then they bring him back up and he gets rocked start after start. He just isn't a Major League caliber pitcher at this point in his career. He always throws the ball too high in the zone and gets rocked for like 5 runs in the 1st. Then he'll get better control of his pitches and only give up 2 more runs through 5 more innings. But, because of his shaky first couple of innings he ends up giving up 7 runs in 6 innings.
