Al Reyes: Any thoughts?

[joenovan]

With the addition of Wheeler, do you think Al "UpperDeck" Reyes have an easier work load and be more affective?

[jlm53089]

Less workload? Yes
More effective? Possible.

Will not have any say until I see him in ST.

Last year was his career year. I would stay away. He showed his true colors in the 2nd half. Definitely not worth having on a fantasy squad. I just hope he is decent enough to be dependable in the 7th inning.

He has looked better in ST and his change up is back.

He is our 8th inning guy not 7th RUMP

If Reyes is better then Wheeler this year and is our 8th inning man, we will not sniff 75 wins this year either.

Right now the plan is for Reyes to be the 8th inning guy. ST may change that, but right now it is Wheeler in the 7th, Reyes in the 8th, Percy in the 9th

Looks to be another 95 loss season once again. Reyes is not good enough to be considered a lock down 8th inning man.

From an outsider's perspective, I am looking for you guys to have a nice team, possibly flirt with the .500.

What do you all think about percival? Will he produce?

I answered this for ya in the closers thread

Percival will be serviceable. Do not expect him to have a Smoltz/Gagne type of year, but something around a 3.5 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP with 30+ saves. I don't expect him to get every Rays save either. I don't think Maddon pushes him out there every single game to get the save, as I think Maddon plays it smart with Percy for the first few months.
