So, You're a Met Now, Alex

Post by Edgy MD » Thu Dec 19, 2024 6:45 pm

That's Alex Reyes, once one of the top young pitchers in baseball, with a Ryan-esque profile of 100-mile-per-hour heat and a 12-to-6 curveball dropping off the table, eye-popping strikeout rates, along with antacid-popping walk rates. He's been sidelined and sidelined and sidelined in recent years by UCL surgery, shoulder surgery, lat surgery, and I imagine dental surgery as well.

Reyes is a native of Elizabeth, NJ, but smartly became an MLB draft dodger, moving to the Dominican Republic as a teenager in order to sign as a free agent. I encourage any and all amateur players to do likewise. Now at 30 and three years removed from his last professional pitch, he's about as wild as a wildcard gets.

ON EDIT: Manny Gómez of NJ Advanced Media sez this is all a crock, and no deal has been agreed upon.

So hostile, Manny! I guess ... stand by for further updates!

Yup. Caught that and edited.

I don't know what the world's come to when you can't even trust Aram Leighton of Just Baseball.

Another David Stearns special. Reyes was very top shelf at one time. Maybe he can get healthy at Syracuse
