Wither Reyes?
Cardinals Diaspora makes the case for Anthony Reyes making the Cardinals starting rotation:
Why do I get the sinking feeling that we'll regret Anthony Reyes being skipped over for a rotation spot in favor of Wellemeyer...or, hell, Braden Looper. Spring trainings stats, as we've mentioned ad nauseam, are a deceitful thing, but Reyes pitched like a man out of time yesterday, building on a decent little run this month. I've been irrationally exuberant on Reyes' stock before. This time around though, it's tough to read reports of a guy throwing well all spring as part of a team so desperate for starting pitchers they're starting the season with a rotation consisting of 60% converted relievers, only to see him exiled to triple-A.
I agree it doesn't make a lot of sense. If spring is a time to earn a place on the roster, then Reyes should get a shot.
