Ex-Cardinal Reyes Solid in Cleveland Debut
Once a highly touted pitching prospect in the St. Louis Cardinals organization, Anthony Reyes was traded to the Cleveland Indians for a young right-handed pitcher, Luis Perdomo. The Cardinals had been hoping that Reyes could come up for multiple years and be the starter they’d always envisioned him being. Unfortunately, Reyes could not live up to the standards set by himself and the St. Louis organization. He showed signs of promise different times throughout his promotions from Triple-A, but could never really put it all together and make it work at the big league level.
Anthony Reyes started game one of the 2006 World Series in Detroit, in which he pitched a magnificent ballgame. Anthony gave the Cardinals 8 innings of work, gave up four hits, yielded 2 runs, and struck out four on the way to pitching the game of his life. Reyes made his first start with the Cleveland Indians on August 8th. Maybe a change of scenery proved to be what Reyes needed to be a successful pitcher in the majors. 6.1 innings of work, gave up 7 hits, one earned run, and struck out four in his debut with the Indians. Hopefully he can finally figure it all out and become a solid major league pitcher.

Nice Blog! Looking forward to this series, as these are two contending teams with a lot to play for even though no one gave them a chance in April. It should be fun!
Hope Carpenter is alright. It’s tough to watch a pitcher’s career be hampered by injuries.

Another ex-Cardinal who stunk in a Cardinal uniform. Chris Carpenter is not going to be alright, neither will the Fardinals. He can join good buddy Mark M. on the DL, with Adam W. going to join them soon.
I’m going to go buy some Cubs playoff tickets, what are you gonna do? Buy 2009 regular season tickets?
Nice Blog! I couldn’t agree more. Reyes needed a new place to call home, and maybe now he can show the people what he’s made of.
Now maybe the Indians can live up to last year, seeing how they’re stinking the place up this year like many other years in their past. Nice Blog!
Hey, I have started a Cardinals blog of my own and was wondering how you provided the pictures?
Do not know if that last one went through but I have a blog that I started called redbird fever and I was wondering how you got pictures for your blog? Keep up the good work and go Cards
