Reyes was probably picked because he is stretched out to 5 innings.

don’t know much about Reyes, how did he get to the organization? Non prospect it seems?

Minor leauge free agent from the Red Sox.

Only has 12 career innings at AAA with an ERA over 8.

I am shocked that Elias promoted a guy to the majors that hasn't dominated at his last level, also twelve innings at AAA seems very aggressive.

 

Anyway, yea he's a warm body that will throw a few low impact innings and will probably end up off the 40 before the month is out.

Thanks Corn. Agreed, that does seem strange. They needed to cut someone…so…better than being cut direct?

It isn't strange.

It's the type of filler move guys need to make throughout the year.

I just love pointing out when he does stuff that is against all of his stated preferences.

He can rush this guy up but Grayson keeps getting pulled at ~80 pitches.

This will be a great chance for this young man.  He picked well when he signed with the O's.  Pretty fair chance this will be it for his ML career.  Dude's 25.

Elias treats non prospects differently from the best position and pitching prospects in the game.  Imagine that.
